View: 2022 Premier League table a horror show for Everton fans
A new Premier League table has been released taking only the games played in 2022 into account and it doesn’t make a good read for Everton fans.
Frank Lampard’s side sits rather disappointingly in 19th place having picked up an embarrassingly low ten points having played 14 games with a goal difference of minus 11.
Burnley’s 2-0 win against Southampton last night closed the gap to the dropzone to a mere one point – far too close for comfort for many Evertonians.
If that isn’t enough the Clarets’ 2022 league form is will leave the Toffees fans besides themselves with worry as we approach the final seven games of the season.
They boast mid-table form with 17 points in their last 16 games good enough to see them in 12th.
Rat race.
This is going to be a really uncomfortable end to the season for Lampard, the players and most importantly the fans.
Everton have never been relegated from the topflight of English football and if they do this season after Farhad Moshiri has thrown so, so much money at this club over the last several years, it would be a disgrace.
Everyone knows that is where the problems stem from – the aimless spending – but it all comes down to grit and determination against a club that is down the at the bottom of the table for quite the opposite – a lack of spending.
Despite the Blues having a game in hand on the Clarets, they will have the upper hand based on their form.
The Toffees completely letting them off the hook as they came back at Turf Moor gave them the psychological upper hand in the fight for survival but with four points in their last two games, Lampard’s side has proven they will go right to the end of the season.
Hopefully, the absence of long-term manager Sean Dyche will be enough to see them have another wobble before the end of the season but all the Blues can do is focus on themselves and pick up as many points as possible. Their fate is in their own hands.
