He is an extremely one sided player. His teammates call his left foot “the paintbrush.” His right is terrible

agreed that as he goes so go the Toffees. I love him.
Remember how he was totally wasted by Lampard and we all wondered why we spent that money? Mostly because (and I may have gotten the details wrong, trying to forget the Lampard year) Lampard insisted on McNeil playing on the right – I guess he wanted Dwight to cut in and shoot but that’s really not Dwight’s style, to play on the right you still need at least a basic semblance of a right foot.

Romero has to learn to control himself. There's no need to be picking up bookings or risking getting sent off while 3-0 up with ten minutes left.

Absolute madness. Gotta hope the manager has some words with him about that. He's way too important to the team to be needlessly missing games.

If Everton’s appeal wins, they’re launching into the European places.
Although I’m giddy, the danger is the lack of depth in the squad. There really needs to be better bench options for CB, LB, the wings, and attacking midfield. The best XI has been healthy with only the odd game missed here snd there for short term rests.

But yeah, after starting the season with 0W 1D 4L , Toffees are now 7W 2D 7L and 23 pts would have them 2 pts up on Fulham in 10th and only 3 pts behind Newcastle in 7th.

That, but also, Dyche just has faith in him. He’s young- he just turned 24- and Dyche just told him, don’t feel so much pressure, play with a smile on your face and he’s responded. Of all of Evertons attackers he’s got the ruthless streak- when he picked Trippiers pocket at 75’ of an 0-0 game on Thursday I pumped my fist before the shot was launched because I knew he was going to bury it.

Branthwaite is out for the next game for picking up his 5th yellow and the depth (more like shallowth) at CB is such that we are going to see someone like Keane there, ugh.
