If a manager had the jerk reactions of people in here they would be dead by 45.
All for one

Everton’s the team that plays WINNING football

I give Carlo credit today for the win, considering it was a tough away game against a fighting WBA. His decision to let SIgurdsson take the inswinging corner worked. Gomes looked better in the 2nd half while DCL should have scored the 1 v 1.
Really happy to see Bernard given a decent shift today and he showed why he along with James is the most comfortable on the ball playing forward passes. I hope Carlo doesn't tinker with the CB partnership as Godfrey and Keane is the way to go.
Good to see him making the changes when they were needed, hooking Iwobi off at the right time. Although starting the game with actual wide players was very pleasing to see but knowing Carlo, he only did that as part of Sigurdsson rested and James unavailable.
Overall I maintain doubts on our approach, esp at home. Our inability not to kill games at home will cost us and the poor tactics against West Ham, Leeds, Newcastle and Fulham at home will be the difference at the end of the season. We are certainly riding our luck for the last 2 games, saved by the VAR by mm and presented a great chance to Southampton last game by deciding to see out the last 10 minutes.

We also had a goal ruled out by mm v Southampton which would have seen us cruse home.

The bottom line is we're right in the race for the top 4, a situation we'd have very gladly taken at the start of the season.
We've got plenty to work on, obviously. Yes we've looked really passive in a lot of games and we keep starting games looking like we're hungover, so clearly there's work to do. But we're winning more of these games than not, something we haven't done for quite a few years. I think also, like most teams, lack of crowds and fixture congestion with a relatively thin squad is becoming more and more obvious.
Carlo will be acutely aware of the improvements required longer term but that's what excites me. We're bang in the race for 4th yet a load of games we're not really playing that well. In fact quite poorly in terms of controlling games. Just imagine if we add some more fluidity and pace to our team, we could have some really exciting years coming up.
In short, doing brilliantly. Not getting too carried away because I'm aware we're edging games as opposed to just bossing teams. Fact is though Everton are winning games. Long may it continue.
