In danger of getting carried away?

There's a lot to be pleased about at the moment. The stadium, the new signings making a difference, some very nice football being played, and wins, glorious wins.

It's something I feel many of us has craved for some time - to feel good about Everton and thst we're on the up. Its lovely, genuinely great to have a feel good vibe.

But, and there's always a but, are we in danger of collectively getting carried away? We've been starved of the above for so long it's only right to indulge, but should we temper the enthusiasm slightly? Its still early days this season and there'll be bumps in the road.

We need to keep the positivity, but fall into the trap of setting ourselves up for a fall, with heads falling off over a setback imho.

Or am I just being a killjoy miserable so and so?

You have to get carried away these days. I dont buy into the rubbish about building a team and taking time etc. I can see quality all over the pitch in this Everton team and with a couple of additions before the end of the window why not hope for big. The league seems to be more balanced this year where anyone can beat anyone more than ever. I think we could get top 5 and champions league football.

Why wait until next year? On paper our first eleven could be challenging for top 5 for me
 

Not getting carried away but we're going to have a decent season because we have players who can actually play football...Ndiaye, Grealish, Dibling...it's not rocket science this game - get good ballers in and it's all a whole load easier. That has gone missing last few years and had been replaced with 'solid' players who do a job, have a good free kick, are good in the air, solid at the back - no actual players who demand the ball and are comfortable with it at feet. We've been crying out for creativity.

There's some serious limitations though, as per the Myko blunder yesterday, which is why we will only have a decent season, not a fantastic one. But agree, this season is there for the taking if we can get/keep Jarad fit/make another decent defensive addition...I'm looking forward to games again!!

Yes and yes, it's why I'm not hyped on Beto.

I think it's good to stay calm, we are likely going to have a 'palace' type season and win some lose some draw some whilst playing some great football

The squad needs more investment over a number of windows to be able to compete again but it's good to feel positive about the future

Whatever happens, At least we can say it’s gonna be a fun ride.

Get Brannthwaite back in asap, get a bit of luck with injuries and who knows.

I’m hoping we give out a good few absolute batterings as well this season.
