More frustration at Goodison Park

Paul Traill
03/01/2016

Another frustrating draw in this maddeningly frustrating season, though performances similar to that of the second half against Manchester City will more than give us a chance of progressing to the Capital One cup final.

A frightening insight into life without Lukaku

Paul Traill
01/05/2016

Despite a few uncomfortable moments from Bournemouth, we got over the line with three points. We've survived!

Everton lose in the most 'Everton' way possible

Paul Traill
06/03/2016

This nonsense is happening far too regularly now and has to be stopped one way or the other.

Brilliant Everton edge closer to silverware

Paul Traill
07/01/2016

We head to the Etihad knowing what we have to do, and what a chance to get to Wembley. What a chance to win a trophy. Bring it home Everton. It's been far too long.

A big three points

Paul Traill
04/02/2016

What a great way to finish a game and the players should be buzzing as we head to the Britannia on Saturday. A win there and who knows, maybe we could salvage something from the league this season yet.

Comfortable Everton into the Fourth Round

Paul Traill
10/01/2016

I'm glad Roberto Martinez did the fans justice by resting the correct players, whilst still giving much-needed game time to some of the fringe players, and also accommodating a couple of younger players. The perfect balance found from Roberto.

We've Learnt Nothing!

Paul Traill
09/08/2015

We desperately need to embrace other styles of play. We are far too easy to play against and, given the fixtures ahead, we could be in for some bumpy ride.

It's all about the Nais!

12/09/2015

An amazing performance from Everton and a richly deserved win. This was surely Roberto MartinezÂ’ finest hour as Everton manager.

Everything that could have gone wrong...

14/01/2016

Paul reports from what he saw of the match at the Etihad after getting caught in the traffic jams on the M62.

Any chance of a sub, Roberto?

Paul Traill
07/12/2015

Our corners are so bad it's almost laughable. What isn't almost laughable is Roberto Martinez' continued insistence on not making substitutes when it's clear they are needed.

A Change in “Philosophy”

Paul Traill
13/08/2015

Wouldn't it be awesome if Everton had a go at teams for a change? Just go for it, Everton. Make it fun again.

One for the boss upstairs

Paul Traill
01/11/2015

Despite a dreadful opening 20 minutes or so the match really entertained and we were treated to some excellent goals.

Roberto and his subs

Paul Traill
14/02/2016

Playing against a West Brom team performing poorly at home, what could go wrong? "This is Everton" I said... "We always mess things up just when things are looking rosy". And so it proved.

Divisions in the camp?

Paul Traill
17/04/2016

It was quite a turgid encounter from the start really. I guess you can accept a little rustiness when that many changes are made to the team but we really struggled to put anything meaningful together throughout, whilst Southampton passed up a plethora of chances.

Wenger masterclass outfoxes clueless Martinez

Paul Traill
19/03/2016

Goodison Park has been a fortress time and again over the years and to win only four at Goodison Park this season, with an abysmal EIGHT defeats is just woeful, especially with the players we have.

Positive end to season sets up summer of intrigue

Paul Traill
15/05/2016

A positive end to a poor campaign then, but the performance of the younger players certainly offers hope as we head into an intriguing summer with a new manager to arrive and surely several players both coming and going.

Charitable Everton provide unwanted festive deja vu

Paul Traill
19/12/2015

It's Roberto's inability to learn and stubbornness with team selections which kills me the most. We've one heck of a squad there and it's not being utilised, instead the same players are being selected week in-week out.

I hoped I'd regret driving

Paul Traill
20/04/2016

It says something when you get home and you're actually relieved you didn't lose by more than four. I genuinely expected to find we'd lost by five or six.

Knives are sharpening for Roberto

Paul Traill
24/01/2016

Three home wins all season and only six overall wins tells it's own story. Time and time again we shoot ourselves in the foot. Time and time again we let ourselves down.

So much for my wedding gift

Match Report: Everton 1 - 1 Liverpool

It's never us

Paul Traill
24/04/2016

It was truly gutting and the team didn't deserve that. Everton out. "It's never us" said Ste at full time. I couldn't put it better. We never fluke these things. We never fluke anything.

Yet more exasperation at Goodison Park

Paul Traill
28/12/2015

Poor defending cost us yet again and this will go down as yet another game we should have got more from this season and let slip away.

Yet another bitter pill to swallow

Paul Traill
28/01/2016

The better team won, no doubt about that, but we'll never know what would have happened, but it's Martin Atkinson and we shouldn't be at all surprised.

A sorry end to an era at Villa Park

Paul Traill
02/03/2016

Hardly a vintage Everton performance, though I'm pretty sure we took our foot off the gas at 2-0.

Excellent Everton destroy pitiful Villa

Paul Traill
21/11/2015

A great win which puts us into seventh place as we march on to Bournemouth.

Big Dunc fanfare masks deep team concerns

Paul Traill
02/08/2015

ItÂ’s apparent that not a lot seems to have been learnt from last season. WeÂ’re still over-passing the ball. WeÂ’re not shooting on opportunity. Though perhaps most worrying of all was the alarming regularity that Villarreal were able to cut through us and create opportunities.
