With the likes of Kean, Iwobi and Gylfi on the bench this has to be the strongest Everton side in years.
Premier League Gameweek 2
- Thread starter matys
- Start date
Every formation works if the training is good.
If we don't hammer Palace later, I'm gonna be so depressed. 
I bet you you're feeling good looking at the result so far. DCL looking deadly at the moment and very impressed with how James is settling in.
We have to make a good start. It ruins the weekend.If we don't hammer Palace later, I'm gonna be so depressed.
At this moment in time the PL has Pep and Klopp, the undisputed top managers in the world. Then we have Jose, Ancelotti, Biesla, Nuno and Brendan who have a lot to offer. Arteta, Lampard and Ole are in charge of the traditional top 4 clubs and just by virtue of their teams will be up there. This is going to be a proper premier league season.
Popped out for a burger and it's 5-2?! How many has DLC gotten me lads?
Just thought you meant he needed a shave or something.
Went for a lunch, missed 4 goals.
More like proper battle for 4th and Europa places.
Rough start to the season for West Brom.
Pickford could have done better for the Fk?
I thought he was very slow to get across.
Windows Error 7383873. We actually look good.
I remember comparing him to Jonathan Walters in his thread with a bit more talent.Carlo is doing wonders for him. He now gets his third.
Mostly being quicker and a better dribbler.Similarities were that both often work their arse off, both decent if not overwhelmingly dominant in the air, both a physical presence who are happy to throw their weight about and up until Ancellotti arrived their goal out it was about the same.
Now he's improved on that DCL is markedly ahead of any level Walters reached.
There was contact and the player, understandably, fell to the ground, thus Gibbs punished and James let off. What you deem as minimal is another discussion.
At no point did I say those things are mutually exclusive, and it’s not a matter of having a system. Gibbs took violent action and James fell. That’s all there is to it, and why James wasn’t punished.
If you guys want to police how a player should react when they get pushed/shoved in the face then please proceed, but it’s pretty easy to see why one was punished and the other isn’t, which is all I was responding to.
Have to say Everton look like top 4 contenders so far. Well deserved away win last week and now showing class in a game that is usually very tough. Everton fans might be in for a fun ride this season.
Not sure about that. The defence and goalkeeper will hold them back
No, top 6 may be. Top 8 for sure.
Goalkeeper especially is a problem.
2 out of those 3 are pretty shit to be honest.
Pickford is awful. Everton should try and buy Romero
Smalling and Romero.
Always one team that surprises or atleast follows the top pack to the end. I can see Everton be last years Wolves.
Can't believe he's England's number one tbh.
You're not the only one. When you look at past goalkeepers, there were even top class goalies who couldn't get a look in for England.
It wouldn't be a surprise seeing them challenge for top 4. They have one of the top 3 managers in the league (easily), they built a very good team where they can say there isn't a huge difference in quite a few positions between the top clubs or they even come on top in (fullbacks, dm, front 3). Thats a recipe to be top 4 challengers.
Maybe you're right, they look good so far though.
The red card changed everything, but it is not good to see Everton picking up 6 points in two matches.
We don't need Everton in the mix with Leicester and Wolves for the fourth place!

People getting way too hyped on Everton. They’re playing a 10 man Championship side today and at 11 v 11 were getting pushed back plenty.
Indeed. Let's not get carried away yet. The red card changed it all.
James deal looks like such a coup for Everton. No transfer fee involved. Absolute madness.
It will give them a bit of confidence. WBA won't be filled with confidence after this.
It has to be said, that Calvert-lewin is a bloody good looking man
[
yeah people are getting carried away - it will be a long season
Everton's next match is against Brighton.
The Merseyside derby will be interesting as both teams may be on 9 points each.

Also it’s amazing how good this transfer season has been during a pandemic. The league is loaded with talent and those that don’t keep up are going to be in serious trouble.
Already 27 goals have been scored in only 8 completed PL matches - 3.4 goals per match!
