If ever a contest highlighted the dilemma at the heart of Everton's season, it was last weekend against Nottingham Forest.
They had the better chances against Steve Cooper's side whose spending on new players has reached £150m this summer, but in the end were perhaps fortunate to have escaped with a point.
If there was a contrast between the teams on show at Goodison Park, then it came towards the end of the contest. The visitors went ahead with a cool finish from the highly-rated Brennan Johnson, showing exactly why he was the club’s top scorer in their promotion campaign.
