Doesn't seem long ago people genuinely thought Everton had a chance of being right up there this season.

We desperately miss having Coleman and Digne available. Poor results correlate with unfortunate injuries and stupid suspensions.
Everytime I watch Iwobi he hits about 10 crosses a game and all are always woeful. You'd think by sheer law of averages one might be decent.

The bottom line is we're not very good. Including the coach.
You did look to have a real flair early season though with the improved DCL and Richarlison and the start J-Rod made.
Disruptions to two of their seasons plus Digne being out seems to have hijacked you.

Villa were my favourite team to watch after that. Although their results have actually been quite poor for weeks to!

"Showing us what a top coach can do."
Haha - beware the knee jerk fools.

Myself included to be fair as I thought we were in for a woeful season after those home defeats - when roll on a few weeks and another win and we're quite far up!

We just have a similar problem to you last season where the standard between the first XI and the bench is enormous.

Digne makes Everton click

Whats your record without Digne. I believe he is your most important player.

They did look pretty strong at the start but no one was up to speed.

These days that's probably the same for almost every team though.
Most teams only have about 2-3 players that can legitimately carry out an equal job to someone in the first eleven.

Even Man City i'd say.

A couple of weeks back, it was Richarlison making them click.

Soon it'll be someone else who is unavailable.
I mean, obviously? For teams that aren’t full of world class players like Everton there are going to be 2 or 3 top class players they have that they’ll look a lot worse without.

Pen incident - 2:0 KDB

Problem with VAR summed up with that incident and the Traore yellow for diving. They are almost identical in terms of minimal contact (if anything Traore gets more) but VAR enshrines two different outcomes. No one would be annoyed with it as they currently are if it was giving more consistent decisions.

I feel with stuff like this you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. If you exaggerate like that you get slated for diving. If you don’t people with always say well “Why didn’t he go down” etc.

They really need to get together and adjust things now that there is VAR because that’s not a penalty but technically by the letter of the law it probably is.
