We all know international breaks can feel boring but this could be a very important time for the players, after we’ve dealt with so many injuries and suspensions.
Everton have had to jigsaw together a starting XI for one reason or another and you do need a reset button at some point. The lads have been under pressure a lot and physically played too much football at times because of the situation we’re in. Frank doesn’t really want to leave any players out.
The international break will, fingers crossed, help those players recover, both mentally and physically. Frank has said he’s not going to go away on a summer training camp like some clubs do. They’re going to get the lads in at Finch Farm, there’s things he needs to work on and we’ve got to take the positives out of what he’s brought to the table in his time at the club.
