As unfortunately and infuriatingly placed as they are, International Games are a part of Football, and while it means we miss out on the Blues for a week – be that a good or bad thing – we, in turn, get to vent our passive-aggressiveness on England rather than Everton.
Granted, it always seems to come when we’re in a run of form, and everyone goes off fit and healthy, then come back with 17 fractures and some exotic illness. We look on tediously to see who won’t be available for the next few months rather than who’s played well. Maybe it’s a precautionary look out for any surprise performances or disappointments, maybe it’s a complete lack of caring. I know which I fall into, anyway.
From the mystery injuries to Big Sam calling up Jordan Henderson rather than Ross Barkley, the Internationals are really full of surprises, aren’t they? So as the break drags on, we have a chance to take a look at how our players are getting on outside of Goodison…
