I’ve got to admit, a couple of weeks ago I thought Everton were down.
So to be writing in this column that I can see them going into a game against Manchester City with (an admittedly slim) chance of getting a result, speaks volumes for their remarkable performance at Brighton.
I’ve no idea where it came from, but seriously, that was a totally different team to the one I’ve watched struggle to deliver any sort of identity or personality in recent weeks. Ok, all season in fact.
