OK, not including the potential League Cup game if we get past Swansea, our EL group stage period encompasses 18 games. We play eight at home, 10 away (including four straight from the Swansea League Cup fixture to the United match). After all three of our away EL group games, we have an away PL match. We're also at Sunderland after our home match with Lille. SO that's four away PL games after EL fixtures.
That's a pretty onerous stretch by anyone's standards. And one that will almost certainly define Everton's season.
Makes it more important that we bring in proper cover for distin who at 37 for me will struggle to cope with too many matches.
Alcaraz isn't good enough and I would be concerned if martinez believes he is.
