Embarrassing. Shocking. Disgraceful. And that’s just Jagielka. Anyway, I wish I could discard that completely and never think about it again. I’ve got a few hundred words to scribe, though. Not even going to say the game started well. It didn’t. As soon as the whistle went we were in trouble, and it came to a […]
Let’s reminisce. Last season, we played Chelsea at Goodison. And a certain man single-handedly made a show of the entire Chelsea team. A perfect hat-trick sealed off a perfect day, and in truth, it was Steven Naismith’s swansong. His reward for the game of his life was a transfer to Norwich to be replaced by […]
Now while this is a complete two horse race, I still feel it’s necessary. This season started off with Mason Holgate bursting through the first-team ceiling and cementing a place in both the right-back spot and Everton fans’ minds. However, it was short-lived as Séamus Coleman came back from injury and Koeman preferred reputation over form, […]
That was better. The game started off very lively, but it was mostly West Ham splitting our defence in two with simple passes. Little did they know that this period would be their first and last good spell of the game, as our front three decided they’d had enough and embarrassed West Ham. Lukaku netted […]
West Ham. I could do a 20-minute read on this fixture. That’s not why you’re here, though. And that’s not what I’m down for. Right. West Ham. We’re coming off of a garbage run, and Koeman’s probably realised in the last few weeks just why we’re paying him so much. That money needs to be earned. […]
James McCarthy is facing a further three weeks on the sidelines after the Irish midfielder tore a hamstring in training, according to the Daily Mail. This latest setback hampers McCarthy’s already injury-stricken season, playing the full 90 minutes only once – on the opening day. He has only appeared in short cameos since he was […]
There’s not much you can say after that, and to be honest, I don’t expect many of you to be reading this now. Just trying to flush it out the system. Full credit to Burnley however, who did play exactly the way they set out to and beat a (yet again) disgraceful Everton team. It started […]
It doesn’t feel like the City game actually happened, does it? Don’t know. Feels a bit like we’ve been gone forever again. Probably just me. On to Burnley now, and Turf Moor, a ground we haven’t visited for 2 years, and that last time we had Sammy Eto’o up front rolling back the years as […]
There was shock in the summer when we let Brendan Galloway go out on loan to West Brom, having only Bryan Oviedo and a winded Luke Garbutt as cover. Galloway- who enjoyed a similar start to Mason Holgate only in the 15/16 season – was considered to be Baines’ successor, and with the legendary left-back out […]
On Monday night, David Unsworth’s side traveled to play Reading to keep up their title bid. They initially trailed 2-0 after a quickfire double from Andrija Novakovich, but an inspired Oumar Niasse netted a 20-minute Hat-trick to bring his side into half-time with a 3-2 lead. In the second half, Kieran Dowell, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and […]
We all have our cult heroes. I’ll be exploring who many of us were sad to see go in the modern era, and why it may have been better to keep them around at Everton just awhile longer. While the likes of Leon Osman probably overstayed their welcome, many of were surprised that Denis Stracqualursi […]
The game started exactly how many of us expected it to … in Everton’s box. City were all over us, and this remained the case for the large majority of play as we came away with 23% possession and a point. The first half was littered with chances for City and we did well to […]
