13 Aug 2021 There is just one day before the new Premier League season kicks off. That means it’s prediction time. Everton finished 10th last time around and McNulty thinks they’ll end up in exactly the same place come May 2022. McNulty thinks they’ll be sandwiched in between David Moyes’ West Ham and Leeds. “It may be that Benitez’s hands-on training ground approach, allied to his renowned organisational skills and tactical acumen, will work better with this group of permanent underachievers more so than with Ancelotti’s relaxed style."
9 April 2022 Everton 1 Man Utd 0 Everton secured what could prove a priceless victory in their battle to avoid relegation as lacklustre Manchester United were beaten at Goodison Park. Frank Lampard's side were plunged into even deeper crisis when they lost at fellow strugglers Burnley in midweek to leave them facing the prospect of dropping into the bottom three this weekend if results went against them. In a game low on quality but high in tension, Everton's victory came courtesy of Anthony Gordon's 27th-minute drive, which took a heavy deflection off United captain Harry Maguire to leave keeper David de Gea wrong-footed.

The absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, injured once more after figuring for an hour against Arsenal, underscores the folly in not signing a replacement for Richarlison, an error in the summer compounded by the failure to correct it in January.
Nothing much to argue with here.
