Just listened to some podcast season previews on my run this morning. One pundit on The Athletic has "drawn a line" under us, and the other started talking about the odds on Rodgers being the first one out (15-2) & relegation (16-1). Glendenning on Football Weekly thinks we could get relegated & The Football Ramble didn't even discuss us.
I suppose a big part of a 'season preview' is about who spent the most in the transfer window - which is why Everton are routinely tipped to have a great season, but like it or not we are definitely being written off.
