EVE
I may have touched upon the fact that, in a season, I consider some fixtures write-offs. Anfield is obviously one of them, Stamford Bridge is another (Although I was very pleasantly surprised with our performances at both ground this year.). The Etihad is most definitely the third. I don’t mind playing City at home too […]
The usual preface, I never like criticising referees, but Kevin Friend’s performance was up there with the most shambolic displays I’ve ever seen at Goodison. Richarlison would’ve had to have been shot in order for him to even think about getting a free kick, and it probably wouldn’t have been a booking. Beyond giving Mr […]
The corresponding fixture last campaign was most certainly my personal highlight of the season. David Unsworth’s big moment came as Leighton Baines netted from the spot in added time to seal the win before Sam Allardyce came in shortly after and entered our club into a very dark period. Getting the win was the least […]
The first half was a whole lot of Everton. Despite Newcastle taking the lead early on through a quick break, not once did they look like they would hold on to that slim margin. From the off, Richarlison, André Gomes, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Cenk Tosun dominated Newcastle. What was the most impressive part about the […]
I don’t watch Anfield derbies, and I’m pretty sure I’ve made that clear for as long as I’ve been writing these things for the last few years. Sunday afternoon was no exception, so I will not be the absolute voice of authority on what exactly happened as I only cherry-picked some highlights (and lowlights) that I wanted to […]
It’s a very cruel world. There are plenty of evil things that happen and not a lot of good to offset those bad things. One of those principle bad things that happens is the Merseyside Derby. They aren’t fun, and as I realised last year, I went through the entirety of secondary school without ever seeing Everton […]
I can’t wait to very quickly forget that game ever happened. It was a completely typical performance that would have resulted in a draw or even a loss last campaign, but this season’s Blues are not the same side, and a great defensive performance coupled with a masterclass from a certain André Gomes gave us […]
I really don’t mind the international breaks. That’s probably for two reasons; I’m absolutely accustomed to seeing Everton lose, and lose consistently, so it’s a welcome relief from the suffering. Secondly, I follow a few other sports, so there’s always something on. But because of the circumstances this time around, I really wasn’t a fan […]
Let’s make no mistake, we have an abysmal record away at the other big clubs. We simply cannot beat them, whether it’s under Roberto Martinez (barring one Manchester United victory), Ronald Koeman, Sam Allardyce or even David Unsworth. So far, Mr Marco Silva is 0-for-2. Granted, Chelsea probably are the last team of the list […]
Mr Silva named an unchanged team for the third week in a row as it looks as if, at least for now, the boss has found his strongest eleven. That strongest eleven dominated the ball in the first half as we looked typically fluid going forward with Bernard and Richarlison linking up multiple times to […]
With the appalling run of away games we have between now and Christmas, games like these are simply must wins. If we want to end the season in 7th, these games are simply must wins. Basically, we need to win, in case that wasn’t so clear. Brighton are a good team, and the litmus test […]
Unfortunately, as soon as United had netted their first, the game was well and truly wrapped up. For all the positivity surrounding the club now, and deservedly so, we can’t do anything away from home and that shows absolutely no signs of changing under Marco Silva as of yet. That’s not something to get too […]
