Well James clearly wasn't quarantining in a Mayfair Restaurant last night! I think there is also some exemption elite athletes can apply for (similar to how the Reds were allowed to return from Austria) - but don't know if it applies to individual footballers.

0-0.
Every year at this time I’m filled with hope , may it last beyond Christmas , and I’ve written to the club asking if we can change “ NSNO” to “ Et spes est quod te interimet” - It’s the Hope that Kills you.
Is there a list somewhere of the players called up for international games? I know Coleman is with Ireland, but is there any of our players in international duty? I guess James and Allan are not playing international games this time around which would be an advantage to prepare the Spurs game.

Wonder if Kean might start up front. He was looking sharper than DCL at the end of last season.

I posted this back in Jan 2018 after the 4-0 drubbing Spurs handed us in 2018:
"London toffee here, was at the match.
It was like watching the U-18 team get schooled by the senior team. Tottenham were fitter, better drilled and much more athletic all around. They attacked the space and defended high up the pitch. It really gives me serious concerns that Everton's ability to be more than the sum of our parts is lost under the new regime. We always had weak links in the past, but the collective made up for this through good tactics, discipline and fitness. We also don't have any partnerships between players in the current side. In the past you always knew that certain combinations of players in the centre or left side would find space and make an option, in this current side the players dwell on the ball or pass back because they don't know where their team mates are or if their full back is making a run into space (clue: they aren't).
We have a dangerous mix of too young players ( holgate, kenny, dcl) and over the hill players (Jags, Williams, Rooney) who canni be relied on to execute a game plan for 90mins consistently.
Today really highlighted for me the lack of a plan or central idea for our club.
What is Everton in 2017? Not sure that I know anymore, am this makes me sad "
Most of what has happened in the last 2 years hasn't made me change my mind on the current team, but this season I can see some fresh shoots of recovery finally poking through. For the first time in a long time I started to see a team that I could connect with again (the Chelsea game under big Dunc) and it has been a relief for Everton to not be somthing that I hate myself for watching!
Once again, with a bit of luck and the right mindset from the players and staff, we could be a team that is more than the sum of the individuals within it, and thats all I ask.

When Everton played Spurs a few weeks back, such was current form I told the lads at work we might actually get a win away at Spurs. Once in a lifetime opportunity to break that jinx. Only for the usual outcome.
It will not matter what team Spurs put out if Everton freeze when they get on the pitch.
Sad, but true. For us!
Didn't Spurs go nearly a whole season without winning when Bale started? In his first season?

Spurs fans seem to be very confident about this game. I mean, we haven't beaten them in the best part of a decade, so I would be too, but I'm just hoping our new signings give us a lot more fight than what was on display in the last game against Spurs.

just like new managers I think there might be a new players bounce for us here. Even if not all the new faces kick off, some of the old faces will want to demonstrate that they can still keep up.

It was something silly like we hadn't won in the first 20-25 games he started. Will have to look that up now.
