Richi is really good in the air, it's as good as any other part of his game.

Like to see —
                      Olsen
Coleman   Mina   Keane   Godfrey
        Doucouré   Holgate
  James        Gomes       Richarlison
                        DCL
Doucouré (and Coleman and Godfrey at times) to push forward, Holgate to stay back.  With Iwobi out, James has to stay at RW.  For sort-of-10, Gomes seems better choice than Sigurdsson right now.  With 4 matches in next 11 days, some rotation will be necessary.  Davies, Sigurdsson, Iwobi will have opportunities in those matches.  Bernard, too, if he’s still around.
Hope 3 of front 4 can come off in second half.

2-0 up at home with a minute of added time left to play and it finished 2-2. You don’t get more Everton than that. 

Sorry @markjazzbassist to jump in here but it was just announced Vardy is out with a hernia. This is a massive game and that is a massive injury. If Allan is back to shut down Maddison I feel really good about our chances. 

De Bruyne out for the next 4 weeks, and Aguero self isolating at the moment. Can we get this fixture sorted asap please.

A great day for the USA, a great day for Americans, and a great day for all right minded people in the world. 
Now we Brits have to wait a little longer to get rid of Boris and try to right his wrongs, great to see Biden already undoing some of Trumps wrongdoing and hopefully he can reunite as many Americans as possible whether Republicans or Democrats. 
Good luck Yankee friends a great start to the year for you guys, Trump gone and Everton riding high 💙

great day to be alive

I’d take the £10m, I’m always hopeful he will come good, but he never seems to do enough for me, not consistent enough, I know this will annoy many but I’d pay the same for Josh King who I think is far more versatile and consistent, wouldn’t pay him a big salary as has been reported though.

The agony/ecstasy we're subjected to over the 90 mins pales in comparison to the long gaps between games where it's just you and your thoughts about what might be possible. 

It’s been forever since we’ve played, I’m missing Everton in my life

Brands said the club want the make up of the squad to comprise of three goalkeepers, eight defenders, six or seven midfielders and six attackers.
GK: Pickford, Olsen, Virginia
Def: Coleman, Kenny, Holgate, Keane, Mina, Godfrey, Digne, Nkounkou
Mid: Allan, Doucoure, Gomes, Davies, Gbamin, Sigurdsson, Delph
Att: DCL, Tosun, Richarlison, James, Iwobi, Bernard
Going from the above as the core squad we have; Lossl, Besic, Bolasie, and Gordon(loan) who need shifting before then going one in one out with the core squad.
 

This is what makes all of this so difficult. I think Villa should be 'punished' if you will because it is their fault they haven't controlled the outbreak. It is very difficult to keep players/staff from getting COVID but it is not difficult to control an outbreak. Positive test, contact trace, everyone stays away from the facility, 10 days later you're back in business. City and Newcastle got it right. Villa clearly is not.

exactly.  we finally have a manager that when we see a different formation we can say "it's tactical" and believe it.  previous managers other formations were simply a reaction to things not working and trying something new.  its refreshing.

Ben Godfrey is an animal. What a signing. 

In the process of injuring himself he'd probably take out James for the rest of the season.
That's the level of weapon of mass destruction we're talking here.

What if we put 11 players on the pitch but have Delph in a wolves kit. 12 v 10 but it should even out nicely and by the time they realise it will be too late!

LOL is so overused. That said I actually laughed out loud at this. 

italian league and french league are his level.  playing with superstars as your teammates you get an extra touch and extra space, enjoy it moise, we will enjoy the profit.

I may not be a Pickford fan but he is very durable I will give him that.  Olsen  backup with Virginia 3rd is fine with me.  

The problem with the January window is that there are far, far fewer options than in the summer. So unless someone really stands out there isn’t much point for a team like us. Carlo alluded to this in his recent interview where he seemed to be saying don’t expect much/anything. 
 
That being said I do think we need a longterm upgrade for the Siggy role. This could just be James but he’s never gonna play 35+ games and you’d have a hole to fill on the right anyhow. For me, a healthy-ish Everton have a good chance to make Europe so I would prefer to not do something rash. Look at some options and if something stands out then by all means but forcing it in these spots in previous seasons has set us back. No reason not to trust Carlo and Co. at this point. 
 
My hope is that by being set in a few areas (assuming Richie stays) we can consolidate our funds in the summer and make a couple really high quality signings as opposed to spreading it out over 4,5,6 guys. 

He's one of my favourite PL players in an era. If he can do for DCL what he did for Kane, with Richarlison and James on either side, I'll need a container to move all the crusty socks moving back to the UK 

Throw him in just so he gets injured and misses more games. I'm down for that, the big shit tip.

Strong line up and Delph is a massive contradiction
