Jacksgranda Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Burnley get a point at the London stadium. Could have been worse, they missed a penalty just before half time to make it 2-0. Moyes not as big an Everton legend as he was before kick off... Everton 3 points in front of Burnley with a (must win) game in hand. Nervy stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Fortunately 3 teams are (currently) shiter, but thanks for your input. As always, well worth reading... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Injury time goal rescues a home point against Leicester City. Two points dropped, better than three, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Third bottom after the weekend's results. All Burnley need to do is match Everton's results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Everton have a game in hand so that's not really true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Going by their current form, they won't be taking too many points from it, and a draw's not much use with the current goal difference.

Jacksgranda Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 On 10/04/2022 at 17:01, Jacksgranda said: Everton would need to be safe when they pitch up at the Emirates on the last day of the season, as they won't be getting anything there. Meanwhile Burnley will entertain Newcastle, who will have nothing to play for. I reckon the Toffees need at least nine points. Where from? Leicester City (H), Brentford (H), Crystal Palace (H). Maybe a bonus draw against Chelsea (H). Their horrendous away form precludes much hope, perhaps a draw at Leicester and/or Watford. Seems doable, particularly if you say it quick. Null points against Liverpool (A) and Arsenal (A). However, what are the chances of a team winning 3 out of 8, when they've only won 8 out of 30? They also have to hope that Burnley don't pick up more than 11 points from WHU (A), Southampton (H), Wolves (H), Watford (A), Aston Villa (H), Spurs (A), Aston Villa (A) and Newcastle (H). I can see 4 home wins there, never mind anything away, so the Blues have no room for manoeuvre. And Watford on 22 points aren't out of it with home games against both Burnley and Everton, although they have only 7 games left, but they also have Brentford and Leicester at home. 1 point out of the required 9. (Although only 1 of the teams has been played and Liverpool was a no hoper.) Need a win against Chelsea. How likely is that? Meanwhile Burnley already have 7. They must be looking at a minimum of 6 more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Don’t Everton have a bizarrely good record against Chelsea? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea haven't taken the 3 points at Goodison since 2017, Everton have won the last 3. They also took a point at Stamford Bridge earlier this season. I'm oddly optimistic, same as i was more optimistic about taking points against Man Utd a couple of weeks ago than i was Leicester. They do seem to turn up at home against the fancied teams for some reason. Either way, the game in hand is Watford, followed by Brentford at home in the same week that Burnley only play once (Spurs away) so to say Burnley only need to match Everton results is completely wide of the mark. All the same it maybe should be Leeds United fixtures that Everton should be looking at now, with an arguably harder run in than Burnley have (they play City, Arsenal, Chelsea consecutively in the same period that Everton play Chelsea, Leicester, Watford) Edited April 24, 2022 by Christophe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Admire your optimism. I can't see Leeds getting caught - hope I'm wrong. Everton have a mountain to climb, and Burnley have their tails up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 This period here is a 6-point swing to Everton. Believe! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Recruitment for The Ev has been terrible. Remember when they paid £25 million for Jean-Philippe Gbamin? Me neither. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 Seismic result for Everton, it really is. You look at the fixtures left now and you’d say that Everton probably have the more favourable run in compared to Leeds and Burnley. Okay, Leicester away next will be tough however you hope that Leicester are tired after trying to progress to the Europa Conference League final. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 4 points out of 4 from my projections from Everton's last 3 fixtures, not just necessarilly where I predicted them from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Yaaaas, 3 vital points for the Toffees, AWAY from home, to boot. 7 points from my projections +2 on my forecasts, from the last 4 fixtures. Burnley and Leeds losing helps immensely. Edited May 8, 2022 by Jacksgranda Update 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Leicester away looked immense, unfortunately i couldn't get a sniff of a ticket. I am going to Watford on Wednesday though and hugely looking forward to it for once! If results go the right way Everton can be safe before they kick a ball on sunday at 4:30pm. (Everton beat Watford wednesday, Leeds lose to Chelsea wednesday and lose or draw against Brighton on Sunday 2pm). Huge "ifs" but can you imagine 2 weeks ago having the chance to be safe with 3 games still to play! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with a point tomorrow, tbqh, but hope it's a massive away win (or even 1-0) for your sake!
