kurtsimonw Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I don't know what to think about Everton this season, they're all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Theres certainly no reason why we should'nt be winning some of these games now. The physical differences to last year are there for all to see and the mental attitude amongst the whole team seems markedly improved. I hope we go into these next few games with a positive mindset because, as the likes of Benteke get more gametime, we are more than capable of beating those around us..

Oaks Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 If we can pick up 2-3 points I will be more than happy. I suppose I've got to be happy, but the capitulation in the last 4 games is very worrying. I will asses what I think in a few weeks, I'm worried atm.

PieFacE Posted October 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 18, 2014 I wanted 4 points, we got 3. I think what's worrying is that we seemingly went into these 5 games to not embarrass ourselves rather than to try and get something from them. I understand that approach against Man City and Chelsea but against Everton its inexcusable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I think most of us would have taken 3 points from those 5 games and would have been expecting less than that before a ball was kicked this season. The test is now the coming few games where we will not start each of them as underdogs and we need to get some points on the board from them to stop the slide down the table.

On the contrary, even to be charitable, we will start 3 of the next 4 as considerable outsiders. You'd only put us as marginal favourites in the QPR game.

You can lose, even by multiple goals each time, and not look lost and anemic. Points aren't the lone indicator.

PaulC Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 3 of the next 4 games look very tough on paper. If we don't win at QPR we could well be in amongst the relegation zone again after those games/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Think I said 5 points and we were short of that, so yeah not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Well looking ahead the next 10/12 games are the infamous so called winable games. Anything less than 15 points from the said 36 available then we really could be in the brown and smelly stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwishIwasalivein1982 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 We might be okay against QPR, our players might not score for us but theirs might. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Looking at QPR, we could have real trouble next week. If both teams play like they did this weekend, we'll lose. This is a huge game coming up for Lambert. With us outsiders in the following three as well, we could well be in deep trouble if we don't get a win next week.

Yet another must win, yet again it's early in the season. Bored of it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will target this as one they have to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I think our forward players will have joy against QPR even with our usual plodding style. Rio, Caulker, Dunne, not a lot of pace there is there. This game sets the tone for the next 6 weeks imo. Would be a disaster to lose and would be long winter. Win and suddenly the league table won't look so bad, we're still only 3 points off West Ham in 4th so it's not disaster stations yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 A home game against a relegation favourite. Surely that means we will lose 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The points return isn't the worrying thing about the last few games it's the performances. I think Man City aside, they haven't been good enough, despite the quality of the opposition. But as you say, that will be forgiven if we go on and get wins against the lesser teams. It's a big IF though Edited October 22, 2014 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
