Player Valuation: £8m
Like the recent calendar I got, its a misHmash of a season
Positives.
Pickford looks to be back to some resemblance of the goalie he can be and put the media hype past behind him - good to see his vocal side too Vs Burnley
Dom Calvin Lewin undoubtedly the star of the show - where would we be without his goals.
Unfortunately that's about it from me for the positives
Negatives
Formation: All over the place, Carlo doesn't seem to know what side to choose and what formation to use.
Injuries have taken its toll but a manager of his experience cant use that as an excuse for what is by all accounts a decent squad ( on paper anyway)
Rich - An average season so far, some nice assists but he will need to step up
James - Problem with James is he doesn't tackle or cover his defenders so essentially leaving gaping holes - that are getting exploited big time. Its a tricky one but to utilise him you need to take the negatives he provides also
Waste of Locker room: Sigs, Delph, Gomes, Delph Bernard absolutely nothing to offer - so that is 5 players itself that are taking up valuable squad places
Davies: Lets admit it, just not good enough
Iwobi: Probably the same! he has glimpses of quality but for the most part he flatters to deceive
The forgotten men: Gordon, Nkounkou. Kenny - reportedly missing, last known location unknown
The future: The fixtures on the horizon are going to make or brake Everton's season - quite literally as the sole chance of cup success looks to be realistically the League Cup, a bad run and we will be in the bottom half, above or in the relegation places even. A good-ish run and we can stay within touching distance of this 'big 6' thing.
A poor season in my mind so far, the lack of real characters or leaders is apparent. Allan and Doucoure have done as much as we can expect them to do but too many others are passengers
DCL and Rich wont stay at Everton if they continue to dither, no chance - they are off to the CL and big money offers will be put on the table.
I was hoping the team could challenge near the top 4/6 but with injuries the lack of quality in the squad is there for all to see - and injuries WILL happen. Not getting youngsters into the match day squad is puzzling.
Previous Everton managers were sacked due to the half arsed efforts of the players as much as the managers fault itself, Carlo need to be strong and call time on quite a few players if he doesn't want to fall victim to the expectant fans again but having no spectators at Goodison might be a blessing in disguise.
