Oh Dwight…
 

Yeah the goals and assist are rough, but for comparison from whoscored, here's our squad's ratings. He should be able to get back to his usual 5-6 assists. Doesn't tell the whole story on him for sure. My biggest fear is that I'm not confident we'll actually be better than Burnley were last season, but that's a whole bigger issue.

I think my concern is that if I ask myself “would we have stayed up if we swapped our current team 1 to 1 with last season’s? I find myself answering “probably not”

I think it’s pretty widely accepted that the managerial regime we started the season with was largely responsible for us being in danger in the first place. I suppose the question is, does any perceived reduction in squad quality more than offset any positive effects of the new regime?

The answer, of course, is “I haven’t got a clue”

Always fun finding out, though, innit?

Yep agree.
The worry is if DCL picks up an early knock and misses say 3 months then we are looking at Alli playing up top as a false 9 or Rondon through the middle with McNeil out wide who Davy Klaassen could probably out run. At least had we signed Cornet he could have filled in up top through the middle if required. Potentially a frightening season ahead dependant on any other signings.

You’re a braver man than I to use the word “fun” when describing anything about Everton mate lol
