An enforced break from action gives Frank Lampard an opportunity to look back at Everton's season so far, and on the whole there's a lot of positives to take.
The transfer window has seen the club improve their defence and midfield options significantly and allowed the manager to change his style somewhat. From a five-man defence, the Blues can now afford an extra player in midfield instead and their most recent performance against Liverpool showed the benefits of that new strategy.
Confusion still surrounds next weekend's fixture against West Ham United and whether the Premier League will be allowed to return, with the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II to follow on Monday September 19th. Even if that round of matches is played, though, there will be another break straight afterwards for international games.
