CosbehFox Posted 3 October 2017 Posted 3 October 2017 I'm surprised people are taking the p**s out of this so much. It's all projected and it's made a reasoned prediction on paper at our start to the season. Everton have had a tricky start too. It doesn't take into account; confidence. They call the Championship a long season but in reality Premier League feels more like it because of the long spells where there's no games. Back to back wins would have you climbing five places at least. It's a marathon. Shakespare might leave. We kick into form after a scrappy win somewhere.
ZeGuy Posted 3 October 2017 Posted 3 October 2017 It's a long run and depending on how Shakey turns things around or gets sacked, an eventual new manager getting the team clicking fast (wishful thinking) and Silva being the awaited Messiah or a flop. As things are though, no chance in hell and a relegation battle is awaiting.
RutlanderFox Posted 3 October 2017 Posted 3 October 2017 What I want to know is what is this "Euro Club Index" and how much effect does it have on this projected table? If I was to guess I'd say it has something to do with our standing as a club within Europe which is going to have been massively affected by winning the league and doing well in UCL so is going to give us an advantage in this study over other mid table clubs
lancyclaret Posted 10 October 2017 Posted 10 October 2017 It can all change so quickly - look at yourselves in 2014/15 from the West Ham home game (2-1) until the end of the season.

For example, Arsenal I guess would have the biggest Euro disadvantage because they are playing in the Europa League and are likely to make it deep into the competition which will result in more tired players and a worse league position, in theory.

Foxy-Lady Posted 11 October 2017 Posted 11 October 2017 so in summary......only a few weeks after their initial projection, their latest "insight" now has only FIVE teams in same finishing positions....?!? effectively a 75% failure rate in space of only a few weeks!. Imagine how wrong they might be over the next 30 games...?!? Let me know their updated forecast after 37 games when it actually might mean something and has slightly more chance of actually being right...!
