Agreed, we can’t guarantee consistency of results every week. But we should be aiming for consistency of performance.

The teams listed have the knowledge and experience to get the results when it matters or beat teams they usually beat like your Burnley's Fulham (Yes I know Liverpool drew with them but I was using them as an example) in routine wins where I don't think Everton are at this stage yet, I know we'll drop points but if we avoid stuff where we were like 1 win in 7 then again then I think top 6 is very possible.

I think injuries have been cruel to many teams this season. You have to believe we will be stronger with Digne, Allan and James back in particular, but all teams could point to similar influential losses. They are no different and all seasons are like this. This is where the depth of the squad is so important and the coaches ability to deal with these losses and keep the team winning. I think Ancelotti has handled our losses OK but it is surely true that teams don't achieve success, squads do.
In good seasons, fringe players who you do not always expect to step up, are forced into action. Maybe as Godfrey has recently, who possibly was not signed to be a first team player immediately. In the second half the season, Ancelotti will learn if he can rely on his fringe players to step up in key moments.

Listened to the talkSPORT podcast, I know i shouldn’t. But Alex crook who covers the south coast and still has a bee in his bonnet, from when we got koeman off Southampton.
said Leicester have had the worst injuries after Liverpool. Yet v Arsenal, we had Coleman, Digne, Allan, Gomes, Gbamin, Delph and James out.
Apart from the RB and the Turkish CB. Not trying to spell them
. They’ve had players missing a game here and a game there. Like Evans, ndidi and Maddison.I said last season, that wolves and Leicester who were getting praised all over the place, would struggle once they got a few injuries, to be fair Leicester have coped, but wolves have only lost the main CF, selling jota & Doherty haven’t helped, but they don’t look great. And traore who had 2 great games v Man City last season, is back to being a headless chicken and not a 80mil pound footballer.
The January window and luck with injuries will play a big part on who gets the top 6 place. With no Europe, that could also help us, in the 2nd half of the season.

I'm not sure why considering he is a ManU fan tbh, I have come across him a few times to do with work related stuff, he is a bit of a muppet tbh, i think it's a bit of esk syndrome in that under a previous regime he was well in there and these days it's not so much.Listened to the talkSPORT podcast, I know i shouldn’t.

He tends to always be on talking about Southampton. He kept tweeting like an idiot that Southampton will get 35mil for Hjoberg. Though he had less than a year left on his contract.

For me the last few games were huge for Carlo... The matches against Southampton and Newcastle were awful to watch after the start we had...... It was as though he was some one trick pony who had been found out......... But his CV suggested otherwise, and his quality has shone through.
But yeah, some fans think he's here to live in Crosby instead of Milan just to pick up more money to add to the rest that he won't ever need to spend cos he's got that much... Just so he can give his son a job.
Not so ..... People like Ancellotti would do a job in Tesco stacking shelves and do it well, they wouldn't sulk, they would look at how they can do it better. Finish their shift, go for a walk on the beach and fit back with a glass of red and read a book.
The bloke is football through and through, he's also a class human being. He understands the needs of the fans, he is hungry to deliver and still appreciates all he has.
Yeah.... His son is probably getting a million or two a year and no doubt he's being worked for it, his dad will be pushing him and educating him so he can carry on his legacy - no question.
We're in good hands.

Burnley are a notoriously difficult side to play against and often take points from teams they apparently “have no right to beat”.
They are dog muck to watch, but they play with an efficiency which has seen them become a mainstay in the league in recent times.
The fact is, this league is the most difficult in the world, and any team can and does pull results out often against teams well above them.

5 teams in the top 8 have beaten them, United and Liverpool haven't played them yet, We're the only side who didn't beat them.

What bugs me a little is we have to go to the "top 4" sides in the second half of the season. City, Man UTD, RS, Chelsea. Even Arsenal at a stretch.
Knowing our luck it will be when crowd numbers are increased as well, just swings it back in their favour a tad.

My point is if Everton want to become top 6 contenders we should be beating the likes of Burnley like the other teams have, That's how you get top 6 consistently beating most of the lower teams, You can get away with the draw or loss against the "big 6" or whatever it's called.
