Eccles is a great player to have on the bench at this level of football, never bought into the he should be first name on the teamsheet some were saying but he's a fantastic option to have as 3rd or 4th choice and shows squad depth now
We've only just moved into the top half so let's not be too quick to say we have a top 6 squad now. A lot of improvement and additional reinforcements is still required to get this team near or into the top 6
Ref is a shambles, should have booked rudoni and let him off. This time the watforr player should have been booked and rudoni gets the yellow and nothing for them.
Utter bizzare
5 of them for the Everton u21 team probably recorded as 'pro' goals as they were likely in the JPT. So 22 goals in proper football
Please go check and correct me if I'm wrong

Simms scored 19 last season alone which pretty much matches Cannons whole career and also scored big goals against Wolves and Man Utd
Not even arguing Simms is better here but it's a...

Cannon is doing ok but hasn't really done enough to justify £10 million fee imo
Cannon is arguably better than Simms but if you have £10 million to spend do you want
Tom Cannon
Or
Ellis Simms +£6.5 million to spend
It's not really close for me, I would take the second option.
When he was fit again Dovin was Carrs number 2. Dovin was very clearly Carrs number 2 goalkeeper.
Not sure Collins did enough to justify Carr keep him number 1 after Dovin was fit again.
And not sure Dovin did much wrong before his injury to not be put back into the team when fit again
Bit daft Collins was persisted with so long, can only think Lampard was going off the existing coaches judgement on this. Still a bit concerning really that the new coaching team couldn't make the call after two weeks of training but not going to worry about it too much anymore, came to the...
