Poor Old Everton

Watched their last game and thought they looked a Premier League version of us.

Think they are in serious trouble. Warriors are needed in the relegation mix, with a togetherness that makes the team better than the sum of its parts. 

Miles off.

Lampard trying to play the high line press he did at Chelsea with vastly poorer players. They’re deep in the brown stuff 

Lampard was a crazy choice for them in the position they are in, maybe if they brought him in the summer to work with the players etc etc but half way through when struggling he has zero experience, a massive gamble which so far is not paying off, however some poor teams below them and Leeds not far away so will be close

Would love a trip to Goodison next season but for as poor as they were tonight, I can’t see them going down. I think they have too much fire power in comparison to the other teams around them.

But have you see their upcoming fixtures? All matches against the top six or teams that are bang in form e.g. Newcastle.

Am I right in thinking they are the only club never to have played outside the top flight?

No, they have been relegated twice. I’m not sure where that myth comes from.

Maybe they have spent the longest time of all in the first division. They’ve certainly been relegated, not since the 50s however.

Don't think there is a club that has never been relegated from the top flight, technically it would be Arsenal as they were Woolwich Arsenal when relegated, Arsenal have been in the top flight since 1919 tho !

A case of a manager not adapting his team selection and tactics to the players he has available to him.

Never ends well.

A bit of excitement for the fans this season for a change instead of seemingly endless season after season of never threatening the top or bottom six

It will be nice for their fans to have a change of scenery next year. I expect they get bored of the same old towns…?

If they do come down it will be another club "too big for the championship" and one that "deserves to be in the premier league" Ala villa and leeds. 

Much bigger club than Villa and Leeds. 
they are in Freefall. I too have a big soft spot for Everton and have been to Goodison on many occasions when a youngster with my late father who went to University in Liverpool in his younger days.

Arsenal have never been relegated in their history. They’re only football club to hold that record.

Haven’t Everton played far more seasons in the top flight though?

Not sure but Arsenal have been in the top flight since 1913 and Everton since 1954 after they’d spent 3 seasons in the old Division 2. In their history they’ve been in the top flight for 118 years but not continuously.
