All sneering aside, I reckon Everton will be a half decent watch this season. A sprinkling of quality and brainless defending is a great combination.

Yeah, massive gaps in there, will be interesting how low their midfield play when they come up against a decent side.

Statement of intent

 

Laying down a marker

 

Back where we belong

 

Power shift

 

Oh yes the bitters will be trotting them all out...

Had Everton pegged for a 65-70 point season this year. James will fade but Doucoure/Allan are the real steals there. That midfield measures up well against anyone except us/City in the league. Goals in the team too. Think they'll be in top 4 contention.

A clinical offside goal.  STFU Keown you tit.

[TheHowieLama]

Ask about the stadium.

I would love to be in a title race with them just to break their hearts.

Let's hope not eh...

Time to null and void the league.

Would be funny if season had to stop around christmas say and they were top (ok, ok stop sniggering at the back) to see the mental gymnastics they would go through.

The blue cunts have spent some amount of cash, virtually all their players cost £25m plus. Off top of my head Iwobi, Keane, Pickford, Mina, Richie La, Digne, Doucoure, Allan, Sigurdsson and Gomes. Then you’ve got Kean and Rodriguez and Walcott . Who could forget Money spent on Bolasie and klassen.

 

Yet the still have these small club complex, pound for pound biggest underperformers in Europe.

That'll definitely be a test, as they still lack some pace from wide right to be a balanced counter attacking unit. The left hand side looks decent though, with a triangle of Digne, Gomes and Richarlison often linking up.

 

I don't think they'll trouble the top four, but there are definite Wolves vibes about the way they're shaping up. Should be able to mop up enough from the bottom half of the table consistently, and maybe cause the odd upset, to make it around the Europa places.

If I were them I'd be lining up a bid for Lamptey in the near future.

You have to make Everton favourites for the title now.

Not so fast. Arsenal could make it a race if they beat West Ham later today.

If they continually face teams like that, opposed for half the games with only ten men, then maybe.

That Fulham team baring Mitrovic and the keeper is dogshit.

Nice goal

Scott Parker looking like a Lettings Agency trainee.

Really need Everton to drop points today, if they get 3 points ahead with that midfield, I just can't see us catching them.

Oh fuck.

That Leeds lad loves giving away a penalty. 1-1

[J-V]

Leeds love to give pens away

[J-V]

1-1 a poor Championship game

[Lee909]

What a stupid tackle that was
