"at what point does it get to when it's not about survival"

idk Darren, probably when the squad is worth more than that being the primary aim, which it isn't.

Current pool of blatantly good coaches is slim these days, even for the top clubs as the summer showed.

And those currently without a club know they can afford to wait for other jobs to come along rather than take whichever club is underperforming at the time

Annoying they won tonight but everything I had heard or read about RVN while he was at PSV rang true tonight. I wouldn't be worrying about them pushing clear of the bottom 6 or 7 anytime soon

While his loss rate is 13% and 11% lower compared to the other two. They are not the same.

Must keep Potter up night wondering what would have happened if he had just stayed at Brighton long enough to make the most of what he helped build there

Not all xG is created equally. As with goals scored, chance creation and prevention at even game-state is more important and predictive than when trailing.

As such, no surprise Everton are struggling now when they're not as productive in important situations
