I think this is one of those that is dependant on who we can sign as a right winger (which is marginally the biggest priority imo). If we get a rapid pace merchant we may need a solid, stay at home defender (aka Mykolenko), however if we managed...
Think Beto will start as the recognised starter and he deserves to as well. Watched the extended highlights of the win at Newcastle again the other day and while he didn’t score, he was absolutely superb. He’s proven he can slot as well, double...
Annoying. We can do better but that comes at a cost. Signing him would save us money to spend elsewhere and he would have been a decent option.
Hope we have a rethink rather than just moving to the next one on the list (e.g. Coufal).
He wasn’t perfect — no striker ever was, he missed a load of sitters, had spells where the ball looked like a bar of soap. But he gave us moments — proper Everton moments — when we needed it most.
That header against Palace? That kept us up...
