If we think about it from an Everton perspective we need City to win this. Palace winning means they get European competition and more exposure on the European stage plus more revenue.
This sunderland game has been a fun watch so far. Gritty and end to end stuff. Mayenda looks rapid, only 20. I’m sure we’ll see him in the prem. Can’t help to feel that Sheffield United would smash either of these.
United will win it. They have the better players and Manager. Spurs injury crisis will be too much. Losing Maddison was huge they wont be able to cope with United. 2-0 United.
Signing Richardson would be taking 10 steps back in my opinion. We need to build a squad for the future. Signing Richarlison would regress the whole project. He’s injury prone and quite frankly not that good. Of course he’s better than our current options but Everton can do a lot better than him...
Would be interesting to see how he deals with the pressure at united. World beaters seem to join united and forget how to play football. Osimhen would be the better profile United need. I think Osimhen is going to get a lot of attention this window.
We can never make any progress, we always regress. Richarlison had his time at the club. His best tally was 15 goals in all competitions 5 years ago. We need better. We need to get away from sentimental signings.
The difference with 2020 and now is that there are realistically 3 teams that can catch them. Pool still need to go away to Brentford, Forest, Fulham, Cheslea, us, City… far from over. Will go down to the Pool - Arsenal game towards the end of the season.
Southampton are down for me. No signs of them ever seeming likely to win a game. They do not have one single player that’s quality enough to win them games. Ipswich are another team that’s completely out of place in the premier league. Surprised they’ve stuck with McKenna (maybe they’ll want him...
Yeah they had just come off winning 7 out of 8 they were completely out of form. We would have stuffed them especially with the game being at Goodison.
