If you love goals, Everton is the team to watch this season. I'm sure we're very popular with the neutrals.

Player of the Match: John Stones (Everton)

Wolverhampton Wanderers 0 - 0 Everton

Everton were ahead on points but couldn't land the knockout blow as the forward players were more interested in popping off long shots and Wolves disrupted the flow of play by persistently fouling.

A bad backpass by Leon Mason gets intercepted by Nicklas Helenius for the easy goal and almost the victory.

Despite the satisfaction of the board and the fans, I feel like we're underachieving.

Well 9th isn't too bad, keep going!

Brighton and Hove 1 - 2 Everton

Leonardo Ulloa took the lead for Brighton with a powerful shot from outside the box. Bryan Cristante poached a low cross from Gabbiadini for Everton's first goal, and he scored the game winner when a cross intended for Gabbiadini instead lobbed the keeper into the net.
Player of the Match: Bryan Cristante (Everton)

We didn't play well, but no shame in losing to the team who went top of the table with this win, pending the result of Manchester United's game in hand.
Player of the Match: Victor Wanyama (Stoke)

N/A

If we can convert more of those draws to wins, and make a run in the second half of the season, we'll definitely be in play for continental football next season.

Going strong in the Prem, much better than in the past anyway Gabbiadini is such a tank!

West Brom 4 - 2 Everton

Between fatigue, international callups, and right wingers gifting West Brom shots on goal with bad passes, it was just a terrible outing.
Player of the Match: Shane Long (West Brom)

Ipswich was just Ipswich today, helpless as Manolo Gabbiadini broke through for two goals and servicing Rob Reddy for Everton's third goal.

Player of the Match: Leon Mason (Everton)

Newcastle 1 - 3 Everton

Gabbiadini had two goals by the 9th minute, but was shut out for the rest of the game. It was enough of an impact to win the game, however. Leon Mason added a third goal to seal it. He was intended to be a winger but is excelling at deep lying forward where he is playing due to injuries.
Player of the Match: Manolo Gabbiadini (Everton)
Injury Update: Leon Mason suffered a twisted knee and will miss 2-3 weeks.

Everton 2 - 1 Arsenal

Despite starting a 17 year old kid as one of my center backs, despite the team overall being tired, despite Manolo Gabbiadini being worn down and forced to sub out, and despite Nicola Leali almost gifting Theo Walcott the equalizer, we beat Arsenal!
Player of the Match: Olivier Giroud (Arsenal), for his fantastic effort in tying up the score at 1-1.

In

- Nicusor Stanciu from Chelsea on a Bosman. He will join on July 1, 2017.
- Paul Bamba from AJ Auxerre on a Bosman. He will join on July 1, 2017.
- Loic Hourcade from Girondins Bordeaux on his first professional contract. He will join on July 1, 2017.
- Erik Lamela from Valencia for 15.75 million. Sometimes you gotta splash the cash.
- Enzo Phillipe has been signed from PSG for 1.7 million.

Out

- Neal Maupay to West Ham for 5 million. Nice profit off of a free transfer, and he wasn't going to be breaking in to the first eleven any time soon.
- Ryan Bertrand to Reading for 4 million. With our new system, he wasn't seeing the field, and he's not good enough at left winger to crack the first eleven there. Plus, he's approaching 30.
- Vladimir Balic to Sheff Wed on loan until the end of the season for first-team football.
- Isaac Cuenca to Ipswich for 1.5 million, with Everton obliged to pay him 18,250 p/w until the expiry of his old contract in June 2018.

IF our run of form keeps up, and Erik Lamela provides a boost from the right wing, we will have a chance at continental football next season!

Looking good! Keep it up you've changed Everton a lot since you took over them while they were in a relegation fight

Brilliant results! Shame about the West Brom game but clearly a brilliant recovery, with fantastic wins over Arsenal and Chelsea Time to press on for that Champions League spot!
Nice transfers too, Lamela is great and Hourcade will be a star

Everton 1 - 1 West Ham

Everton were lucky to take the lead with Fininho's strike, and they were also unlucky to lose the 3 points when Terence Boyd equalized for West Ham.
Player of the Match: John Stones
Injury Update: Panagiotis Tachtsidis suffered a fractured wrist and will be out 6-7 weeks.

February 8: Grzegorz Krychowiak suffered a torn calf muscle and will miss 3 to 4 months.

It sucked to lose our lead, but we did well to force a replay at home. Dentinho and Popo both made their debuts for Everton today, and Erik Lamela made his first start.
Player of the Match: Rafael Rivas (Everton)

February 16: Bryan Cristante suffered a sports hernia and will be out 4-5 weeks.

Hull 1 - 1 Everton

Manolo Gabbiadini skinned two defenders and fired in a laserblast of a ball for Everton's goal, but Popo's foul in the box and Serge Ribas's penalty equalized. Otherwise, both defenses were very solid.
Player of the Match: Corry Evans

Manchester United 3 - 1 Everton

Our first loss since the West Brom game, and Jose Mourinho's squad took us over its knee and spanked us good. We thought we were bad, scoring first when a Manchester United player bounced a ball off Gabbiadini and it landed at Erik Lamela's feet, giving him an easy opportunity for his first goal. Danny Welbeck equalized shortly after. Andre Ayew took the lead for Man U shortly after, and despite Man U's dominance on the ball, it was close until Danny Welbeck headed his second goal in in stoppage time.
Player of the Match: Danny Welbeck (Manchester United)

In

- Aliaksandr Zhavnerchik has been granted a work permit and has been signed from Levante for 200k.

Not winning means not advancing up the table, but we're still within two wins of passing Arsenal.

Stoke is playing out of their skin in your league wow!

FA Cup Quarterfinal
Everton 4 - 1 Sunderland

Sunderland's desperation was apparent as two of their players picked up red cards during the match. James McClean picked up a red for going in late on Erik Lamela, and late in the match, Jose Fonte was sent off for a professional foul on Manolo Gabbiadini just outside the penalty box.
Player of the Match: Luca Garritano (Everton)

March 10: Portland Timbers defeat Chivas 4-3 on aggregate in the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal, advancing past that stage for the first time in four CCL appearances!

Player of the Match: Luis Suarez (Liverpool)

March 16: Lucas Walbrecq suffered a torn calf muscle while playing for Belgium and will miss 3 months.

March 20: George Green strained his calf during training and will miss 3 weeks.

Everton 0 - 5 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Defenders played like crap, kept letting Celso Borges in behind them.
Player of the Match: Celso Borges (Wolves)

In

- Mike O'McCallaghan from Swansea for 85,000 pounds. He's worth a LOT more but he was unhappy and Swansea tranfer listed him on the cheap.

Out

N/A

Our poor form has sent us tumbling down a little bit, but we are still in with a chance for the FA Cup.

Got a nice squad together right now. That defeat to Wolves hurt though didn't it?

I saw some decent results, then BAM! 5-0 defeat to Wolves. Ouch.
