And thats a wrap till December.
How did it get to this lol it gets said every year but this is the worst everton squad ever seen
 
What really??????

I'm terrified that Virginia might have to play games.

Yeah suppose, quarter-comfortable then.

Luckily Pickford's injury record is pretty stellar, so I don't worry about it too much. But yeah disaster if he gets injured.
 
Well, lets just hope its the 4th worst!!


Does anyone think we will see Beto and DCL play up front together? They could really be a huge problem for defences!

Potentially a mouth watering prospect, or a likely disaster?
It worth a go particularly against the weaker teams.

First time in years I actually think the size of the squad is appropriate. Defence is actually horrid but midfield and attack aren't too bad at all.

Weakest areas are at centre half (one injury and we are so, so screwed), GK cover, and left-back, which have to be priorities. Could do with another CDM as well and probably a right back, both longer-term targets (although contrary to opinion I actually think Patterson is good enough).

One year we are lacking in defensive options, then it's attacking options, so this year it is defensive options. Can't we just have a lean, well-balanced squad please. Why is that so hard
 
Potentially our 'best' starting XI as things stand?

In case of emergency, we can recall Stanley Mills, Lewis Warrington and Reece Welch from their loans and put them on the bench

Speaking of tempting fate, in a bit Demz.

Numbers wise the squad is almost perfect, but thats just in terms of quantity and assumes everybody is "fit".

Numbers it is perfect, not almost. You want two sets of 11 don't you.

I'd like a squad comparison with our relegation rivals in terms of numbers as we seem light but I might be wrong, on my desk by Thursday, cheers
