I'm a young Blue, I've watched the Toffees only through the Premiership years (mainly from 04 onwards) and this is by far the most exciting side we've had. I think the thing that makes this team the cream of the crop has to bee the fact that give Lukaku a sniff, he punishes you. We have a consistent centre forward, who will finish any chance that comes in his way. In the past, we'd have stuck 10 men behind the ball and hoped for a set piece to give us a chance to nick something. But this current group feel they can beat anyone and this emotion is shared by all the fans. It's not arrogance or over confidence; it's belief and excitement and we're evolving drastically week in week out. What Roberto has done has implanted a strong possession based philosophy upon the team but I think the most dramatic change he has made to the team is he has given the team and the club enormous confidence.
Never in my lifetime have I seen an Everton team who I genuinely believe can shoot down the big guns and achieve something. Everton, for the first time in a long time, have a team that can do something this year and contribute to the great history our club possesses in abundance.
I've waffled on too much today so I'll zip up now.
