"Everton can win the Premier League"

I've had City down as champions since pre-season, seen nothing to change my mind. I think they've turned a corner with their away form too and could end up strolling it.

Everyone else is fair game and IMHO the determining factor could be strength in depth... which we lack with this squad unfortunately. Bob played a blinder in the last transfer window, let's hope for more of the same Martinez magic in January.
 

I think we will sign an attacking player in January. Possibly a wide player. When we've got a full squad we've only got Deulofeu (if Mirallas starts), Osman and possibly Kone who could make any real difference in attack. Gibson is obviously a good option at centre mid if/when he's fit.

Martinez loves his attacking players and obviously with Lukaku and Deulofeu both likely to return to their parent clubs next season we'll need at least two attacking players in before the start of next season anyway.
 
we still have Utd, Arsenal and Citeh at home. If we are able to pick off the lower teams, then we have a good chance of CL. 4 points off top after 16 games though....
 
Let's just go out and win the next game... and the next game after that... and the next game after that... and the next game after that, and see where we are in May!

At this moment in time, we have a better chance than Manchester United and Liverpool... and we are in better form than Tottenham and Chelsea... and we can match more Arsenal and Man City... and we cost just a fraction of those fat cat clubs.
 

We need a CM and a winger/striker. One of those could be a loan but we need to bring in one of each until at least the end of the season. We won't be seeing Kone and Gibson until right at the end if at all, and one more long term injury in midfield and we start to look very ropey.

Just imagine if Lukaku were to be out for a month or two.
 
we haven't even played every team once yet... this is everton remember.

No but we have played all the difficult ones and acquitted ourselves rather well.

The thing is at this rate, we'll lose some games that we would have drawn last year. However, we'll win a fair few that we'd have drawn last year as well and a win and a loss is better than 2 draws. We finished on 63 pts last year and i think 70 will be enough for 4th this year.

Question is are we going to turn enough draws into wins to make up those extra 7 points? I think so. No matter how poor we're playing we won't close ranks and try to 'get out alive', but just keep going forward. Against lower quality opposition that should prove enough, as today showed.

Can see Jela going in Jan. Wouldn't be surprised to see us go for a striker.
