Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace – Everton Player Ratings

A frustrating 90 minutes, but one that shouldn’t cause Everton Twitter to collectively hit the panic button (Yes, I do know that is absolutely futile because it’s already been jammed over and over). The first game of the season is always a tone setter regardless of whether it actually should be or not, and the […]

Everton v Crystal Palace – Alex’s XI

If we’d signed Moise Kean and JP Gbamin on the final day of the transfer window instead of Alex Iwobi, we’d all be buzzing going into the start of the season. However as it was, with the promise of Wilfried Zaha early morning, and the evening reality of Iwobi with no central defensive accompaniment, it’s […]

Everton predicted XI: Sevilla/Mainz (pre-season)

So, today’s a weird one. Everton have two sixty minute games against Sevilla (11am) and Mainz (2pm). I assume there will be two completely different teams that are put out by Mr Silva, which makes my job much harder. However, beyond making my life slightly more awkward than it needs to be, it is actually […]

Everton Predicted XI: Wigan Athletic (A)

Pre-season rolls on and we have had some indication of what’s going to be happening in the closing stages of the transfer window. Marco Silva has suggested that he wants his squad in place sooner rather than later, meaning the next two weeks could be very busy at Finch Farm. First, though, Marcel Brands has […]

Everton Predicted XI: Monaco (N)

Maybe a more appropriate title would be ‘Predicted XI’s’ as it’s a pre-season affair, which spells change across the board. However, Marco Silva has suggested that it is now time to take the games a bit more seriously, meaning more intensity, fewer changes and more cohesion. His comments suggest that we may see a stronger […]

Alex’s Everton End of Season Awards

It’s the end of another season, and that means it’s time for this pantomime. Granted, I love a bit of theatre in writing and this is as close to it as we can get; that being handing out psuedo-legitimate awards based on my own opinions and previous writings. It’s all very self-fulfilling and egotistical, but […]

Everton v Tottenham Hotspur – Alex’s XI

It’s the last game of the season and it means nothing. Well, the only thing it means for Everton is absolutely not injuring Tottenham’s players, who will be doing their utmost to get their confidence as high as it could be before their Champions League final. It’s about that time where we’re planning holidays, thinking […]

Everton Player Ratings: Burnley (H)

The game burst into life straight from the off. The Blues were genuinely dominant from the first whistle to half time. Burnley didnt have a single chance beyond one offside goal, while we took our chances – and a 2 goal lead – into the second period. The second half was a much more muted […]

Everton v Burnley: Alex’s XI

The curtain’s closing at Goodison on another season, and it’s been a good one, all things considered. Mr Silva has injected some much-needed life back into Everton Football Club after years of boredom at best, agony at worst. Regardless of your entire opinion on the manager, there isn’t any doubting that he’s made the team […]

Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace – Everton Player Ratings

Another disappointing result on a day where we desperately needed to make up some ground on our competitors for that 7th spot. There were some decent performances dotted throughout the team, no prizes for guessing who was the star yet again, but we still seem to miss the player that can take over a game […]

Everton v Crystal Palace – Alex’s XI

We’re in the twilight of the season, and it hasn’t half been a grind. There have been ups and plenty of downs. The ups have come more recently, with an incredible run against the top six teams, beating three in five weeks after not beating one in three years. Mr Silva’s Everton are starting to […]

Everton Player Ratings: Manchester United (H)

Marco Silva is the man. This was the best Everton performance I’ve seen in my life, bar none. The only one that comes close is the 4-0 victory over Guardiola’s Manchester City.  But from the off today, we absolutely dominated one of the hottest Premier League teams of 2019. Manchester United took 86 minutes to […]
