• Laurie, I think he's had that all the time. The difference on Saturday was the intensity with and without the ball, and their ability to find big spaces behind Chelsea. Everton were magnificent, but Chelsea were dreadful. The Londoners backed their back 4 and keeper to deal with any issues, with little effort surprisingly coming from a front 6 of Pedro, Neto, Palmer, Fernandez, Lavia and Caicedo. Anyone that is backing that keeper needs their head testing. Whilst an expensively assembled side doesnt have one leader in it. Positionally this wasn't a great change to the Everton side. The back 4 largely stayed in their slots, but when they did break forward there was room to exploit, as there was very little cover coming from Palmer, Caicedo, Lavia or Fernandez. The statement that Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard, has never been truer. James Garner in contrast was every where. Picking the ball up from the defenders, quite often from a near full bac...

• We might never have met but you know me John. Belief is everything and confidence seems to be flooding back into the players. I remember Mark Pembridge, speaking on Radio Merseyside, just before we were hit with the draconian points deduction and he was saying how it looked like the players were beginning to play with confidence for the first time since Ancellotti left. That didn’t last long but, two and a half years later and just at the right time, this definitely looks to be the case once again. Moyes gets credit and Moyes gets stick but, if Moyes has really evolved and become a better manager, then it doesn’t matter what he says publicly, (dumbing down expectations) it’s what he thinks privately that matters the most. I’ve just seen a little clip of Billy Kenny, talking about Everton.

• 7 Games to go. Last season brought us 9 points. Sunderland (Southampton as the worst relegated/promoted side) and Palace were wins. Liverpool, Brentford and West Ham draws City and Spurs defeats. Sunderland drop 2, Palace still in Europe, same again = 4 Liverpool, yeah the devil will look after them, Brentford a real 6 pointer and West Ham we should win = 5 City, all over by then for them maybe a point Leaves 10 in total = 58 points. Last match of the season - Spurs away. 3 points to make it 61 = Europe and every chance seal their fate of 12 months in the Championship. April and May are never dull being an Everton supporter....
