Inevitable Disappointment thread: Everton 20/21

[agricola]

Signed Allan, James Rodriguez and close to signing Doucoure. Sigurdsson, Delph and Walcott all rumoured to be going. A manager that has won three Champions Leagues. Very decent youth prospects in and around the first team, and the women won four nil away from home at the weekend.

On the other hand, its Everton.

Once again we find ourselves in the briefest of annual windows where hope exists.

I know, its sickening. I even found myself thinking - for only a few seconds - how nice it would be to win away at Spurs at the weekend.

How long is said window. Typically?

The biggest disappointment is Everton are never in competition for the championship

 

[agricola]

the least Everton start to the season for at least a decade

 

[dessiato]

1-0 will do

Nice to see spurs losing

All it ever needs is one goal more than the other team. It's not a lot to ask for, is it?

 

[agricola]

Beat Salford 3-0, a very strange game lit up by Nkounkou being amazing and Kean's penalty run-up.

 

[agricola]

what an odd sensation this is

 

[Yossarian]

In the interests of public health, it might be time to just declare the season over and crown Everton champions.

Jurgen Klopp seemingly getting mixed up when he said the title would be returning to Liverpool this year.

To be fair it has been Spuds and Albion

Will be interesting to see if Everton can sustain this. Obviously won't win the title, but they do look genuinely impressive this year - a very solid squad and a top coach. The only concern would've been big name signings like Rodriguez taking a while to fit in, but that doesn't seem like a problem at all. Wouldn't rule out a proper top four push.

Jordan Pickford errors go unpunished in Everton win at Fleetwood Town

Richarlison scored two goals to set up a 5-2 victory for Everton at Fleetwood, who scored both their goals through Jordan Pickford mistakes

Five goals but Pickford first choice England keeper
?

 

[Argonia]

Might bung a fiver on Everton to do a Leicester

 

[butchersapron]

Almost go down?

 

[agricola]

first time they've won the first five games of a season since 1938/39

and people thought the world geopolitical situation was bad before

 

[Fedayn]

Bigger worry for me is it's the first time since 1993-94 we have won the first 3 league games. Mot a great season to be fair, I hope history does not repeat itself.... Ever the pessimist....

 

[Badgers]

Sorry

 

[agricola]

Twenty goals in six games, DCL has two hatricks in successive home games and the women are in the FA Cup Final.

Everton did manage to get Richarlison, Kenny and Allan injured in one game, though.

 

[agricola]

but for Pickford I am not sure this side could even be described as Everton nowadays.

Tom Davies playing at right back and being fantastic? Sigurdsson playing well in midfield?

 

[mwgdrwg]

I think the term that millenialls use is "loving life".

 

[dessiato]

I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts.



Could this be Everton's Leicester season?
