So much faster than I thought he was. Defensively he lost concentration a few times but he did well. Good signs of improvement and worth giving him more time

This is it. We have so many chances where we could square it for a easier chance but our players don’t even look. If Mina isn’t there, Tom takes on the shot no doubt. At least he is having a look around before he makes decisions.

It wasn’t clear because it was close enough to go to VAR for a review so that’s harsh. Let’s not kid ourselves here, if Davies shoots and the keeper pulls off a worldie save - everyone would jump down Davies throat about not passing. Its unlucky and a fine margin. Let’s move on.

The best teams score tap in goals all the time like that. Still got no issue with him and his decision to be honest, can fully understand it.

No issue with him passing. I think he showed composure and awareness. Mina more at fault for getting in front of him.

Huge. That’s we expect when we think of Everton. Underdogs who don’t know when they should roll over and lose. So much heart and determination. Get in lads, feels like 3 points and I can’t be more proud of them all. Top stuff Rafa. Let him build a squad and we could finally get back to where we deserve to be.

One of my favourite Everton moments that

It could be false confidence because they really weren’t great at all. We can get something from this and our current style of play is perfect against them

Ronaldo wins it at the depth. Villarreal have made a good game of it. Hopefully Bruno/Ronaldo are feeling it on the weekend

It’s on its way. Villarreal are giving them some real head aches - sitting deep with a compact & organised defensive structure and then breaking quickly forward. More clinical uptop and they probably have a 3 goal lead right now. If we can get ourselves sorted defensively I think we have enough pace in the team to hurt them.

Would have him back in a heart beat. Him, Allan and Doucoure would be immense.

Madrid lost 1-2 to Sheriff at home. Things you love to see

Pretty glad we signed him now to be honest. Comes across extremely humble in his interviews as well!

Been some footage of Richarlison in the gym and he is looking okay. We’re going to need at least one of them though to even stand a chance of getting something from this but they do have a tricky midweek game that they need to win so it’s a good time to play them.

Good results around us. Hopefully we can get something from the United game and come out of the international break with some players returning from injury

And Richarlison. I was expecting to him be used in the last 10/15 minutes of a game to see out a win, not starting 3 games within a week.

I agree full however there’s some handy players coming to the end of their contracts that we could get on the cheap and instantly improve the first team and squad depth.

Willing to let Godfrey play himself into form at the moment. Kenny isn’t much better even on form than an off form Godfrey and Holgate is much the same. Also Mina is due an injury in a couple of weeks so Godfrey needs the minutes

Koeman would have pushed the schneiderland deal though. I remember when we signed him I was stoked we didn’t get Axel Witsel in the summer. Mental, absolutely mental.

Pickford Godfrey Mina Keane Digne Andros Doucoure Allan Iwobi Gray Rondon Thats about the best we got I think. A win is important, a draw is disappointing but a loss it’s devastating. I’ll be more upset if we draw 2-2 than 0-0 as I feel we have enough first time defenders and CM’s to cope. Offensively we are not so strong.

You want a hard working team.

Seriously though - if Gana isn’t getting time at PSG we should be all over getting him back on loan.

It seems Benetiz wants to play with dynamic, hard working athletic players. Which is okay and I think our fans will get right behind a hard working and combative team. The problem is we have been somewhat of a retirement home for “decent” players to pick up one last lucrative contract.

Allan seems like the kind of player that will come back from a pre season and just no longer be at the level required. Gbamin is just an unknown, after this long i just can’t see him being a reliable option. I hope we are looking at options for the summer window however.

Iwobi was young with PL experience, whist it hasn’t worked I can understand the logic behind it. Right now I’m just disheartened at how little quality we have throughout the squad. I am big fan of Brands but I am concerned he hasn’t found a replacement right back and let our back up LB go.
