Europe of any description would be successful; top half but no Euro spot is good enough to keep Moyes his job, but not spectacular. Not in this league.
They weren't right though.
We had a great counter attacking game with bags of pace in the team and a midfield of tenacity and quality that'd put this current Everton team in the bin quick smart.
Only Ndiaye, Branthwaite and possibly KDH would...
He was a potentially great number nine before his back injury, he was bullying first division defenders and scoring for fun as a teenager. It's easy to forget that he only turned 20 in the 69-70 title winning season, during which he scored 20...

For once DaveK is making a good point - the league is so packed that we are just as likely to end...
