Frank Lampard has often talked about the balance of his Everton squad since the dramatic end to the 2021/22 campaign, and it seems that now things have completely shifted.
Over the summer, fans have been desperate to see quality additions in multiple areas of the pitch - and at times it's proven quite a frustrating period for all involved. This has not been an easy window to work in for all manner of reasons, and it has transpired that a huge bulk of the work the Blues have needed has taken place towards the end.
At the beginning it was the defence that really came under the microscope, even if a huge chunk of supporters were desperate for some focus to be placed on the midfield. James Tarkowski, Conor Coady and Ruben Vinagre all arrived to bolster numbers at the back - while Dwight McNeil also confirmed his switch to Goodison Park before the beginning of the campaign.
