All wins.
It would have to be something dramatic like more than half of those games.It raises an interesting deeper question for me actually.
What type of performance with those eight games, would put Emery's position under threat?
Two more losses, three more?
Everton have been playing boring football for centuries except the Martinez days.Meh I think we’re not there yet. 5 wins, two draws, one loss.
Draw against Newcastle and Everton, loss against palace.
If you keep posting like this I may as well delete my account and just visit because I can't really add on these posts you've been making of late. Agree whole-heartedly especially with the bolded part!We should win all of them. If you're going to sh*t the bed against the big sides(and I'm not discounting how hard the first 2 fixtures were on paper for a brand new manager) then you've got to play the part of flat truck bully well. The only time we've even remotely looked like challenging at any point of a season in the past decade is when we thrashed these teams we were supposed to beat and saved our hiccups for the bigger sides that ultimately finished above us. 24 points after 10 matches with the 2 losses being Chelsea and City and all of a sudden you can look around knowing that you're a maximum of 6 points off the leaders and you've got an opportunity to make a statement this season. A good run gives you confidence heading into the bigger matches that the work is paying off and you can play your football and be successful. Pitfalls against these smaller teams though and doubt creeps in, the supporters get frustrated and restless and the pressure that this same group of players has collapsed under before rears its head again.
You've always got something to add to the discussion my friend. Besides it's just a purple patch.If you keep posting like this I may as well delete my account and just visit because I can't really add on these posts you've been making of late. Agree whole-heartedly especially with the bolded part!
