Only a win will do

A draw is not a good result- it makes next to no difference.

I’m a bit ashamed of these tactics. We did really need a win but we’ve made ourselves look ridiculous. Like you say, a point isn’t really enough to make a difference.

 

[Adumass]

I'm furious. Playing for a draw and getting it. It's Stoke all over again.

We showed last few minutes what we could do, but no...smith in his thick wisdom has them wasting time up to 90th minute. Iverson not picking up the ball to waste seconds. Ndidi sat on the floor for minutes to waste time. Like we dont need the win.

Thick as fuck.

Yep n when we got a bit more adventurous the barcodes shat themselves

 

[peatlingfox]

The point means that if we beat West Ham, we finish above Leeds even if they win. Also means Everton need to win rather than just draw to finish above us if we win.

So it does make a difference, but a win would have put us back in the driving seat. it is out of our hands now.

It was utterly depressing how we went about that yes, but to say a point makes next to no difference is garbage.
Lose that tonight & a draw is all Everton need, now they have to approach there game as a must win.

No sense to that post it makes a huge difference
Everton now have to go for the win they cannot rely on the draw being enough

You forgetting Leeds? If Everton only draw it's not beyond possibility that Leeds put 3 past dogshit spurs.

Is it 1 win from 15 for us btw?

And your point is

And your point is

My point is that is that Everton only need to win if we win.

We don't win football matches

All 3 teams needing a win to stay up makes a big difference on the final day with all games being played at same time. Everton can't park the bus, and Leeds have to try to win by at least 3 because of their GD v Everton (assuming we falter).
it's very possible all 3 teams might finish on 34 pts.

Which is precisely why your op makes no sense

Before the game I expected us to lose by 3 goals. We should now finish with the best goal difference of the three teams.

Whether that’s enough is anyone’s guess.

Everton also need to win if Leeds are winning by 3 or more goals.

I agree with Pipes if we'd gone for the win we'd have risked being blown away. Lose and Everton only need a point at home to a team that already live at the beach.

If we come unstuck it won't be because of tonight.

Haven't Bournemouth always lived on the beach?
