Circling the bowl for the last 3/4 seasons despite spending half a billion quid. I honestly think they could go into administration if they go down and really want it to happen.

I imagine if you look at the history of top 6 sides playing bottom 6 sides in the last 5 games or so, the teams in the top 6 win the majority. Obviously you get freak run-ins that go against the grain like Wigan under Martinez and Sunderland, but the majority will go to form. Thought I'd look at the last 2 seasons just to see what the stats look like. Bottom 6 clubs v top 6 clubs in the last 8 games of the season.

midds Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 They're so open. I get the fact they've got to throw a few bodies forward to get themselves back into it but even so, they're not even marking and leaving player with 20 yards of space to play and run into. Shocking stuff from Brighton so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 And just how good does it feel to be able to watch the relegation drama from 3rd place with our fantastic squad? Those days are truly over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novocastrian Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 As hilarious as Everton getting relegated would be we do need Brighton to drop some points. Everton are already being punished by having Dyche in charge next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder if we’d try similar or whether we’ll just stick to our own game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking stuff from Brighton so far They aren't just leaving people open though. The front four for Everton are great ball carriers in space, and Dyche has set them up perfectly to sit deeper, draw Brighton forward and break on them when they clear the ball. As soon as the ball gets to McNeill, Iwobi, Doucoure and DCL they are eating up space and taking advantage on the counter. Brighton look very susceptible to defending against these counter attacks. Hope it's something we look to capitalise on when we play them also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just showing whole pitch footage there and Everton basically split into to teams when they break - back 5 and front 6 with about 70 yards between them. Sure Eddie is watching on but this only happens with that very early goal imo. If that goes wide then Everton can't do what they've done. That goal allowed them to put their plan into place perfectly and they've done them a few times, could easily be 0-5 tbh, fair play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone in the bottom six beat a team in the top six in the last 8 games there is a decent chance they dont end up bottom six (and vice versa). Still like the stat!

Could narrow it to bottom 4 v top 6 maybe because you'd know those bottom 4 will all have been in trouble to the end but it gives an idea anyway. CBA for that though took about 20 minutes to work that out. Teams are down there because they're shite in general regardless of whether they have 'fight' though. If we perform then we'll win both.
