There are precious few certainties in the relegation bunfight, but Everton surely cannot afford many limp Goodison defeats like this...
Date published: Saturday 25th February 2023 6:04 -This is already a very, very silly relegation battle and all evidence suggests it’s only going to get sillier over the remaining twists and turns of 14 rounds of games. There are at a conservative estimate eight teams right in the shit of it and with a different result at Goodison Park today that number would be at least nine.
Extremely Dyche victories over Arsenal and Leeds in their first two games of the new regime here had established the blueprint. Nobody would relish coming here. Keeping that Goodison fire rumbling on today would have kept Everton out of the bottom three and made them look very much the likeliest team to achieve escape velocity ahead of the closing weeks of the season.and West Ham deservedly secured their own necessary home six-pointer victories, means Everton are once again in the bottom three. Once again forced to restart the process.
The truth is that for large parts of this game, Everton played better than they did in the win against Leeds. But that only makes it worse. They are a team firmly in the results business, and this result came about because of all too familiar failings. Dyche may have a reputation for 1-0 wins, but with this team it’s hard to see any other scoreline by which theywin. There was promise about much of their football, but the attack is almost sarcastically toothless.
