    Everton are *. Like you said, slow. They have zero pace in attack. Front 3 of Sigurdsson, Davies and Rooney...

    They've probably spent the most money in Europe outside the current elite today and are basically playing a severely deep 5-4-1 camped in their own half and box already with not even 15 gone..

    Embarrassing. You'd think with the money they've spent that they'd be this exciting, attacking, free-flowing side. Nowhere near it..

    Fair does they're playing against one of the challengers for the league, but Everton look guff.

    Especially after spending as heavily as they have.

    Yep. A whole lot of money on bang average talent.

    Bolasie is hit and miss but they badly miss him.

    Lukaku's first touch there...christ.

    Crazy to think that, after all the money they've spent, Ashley Young still gets starts.

    For the money Everton spent the players they got in were pish.

    Keane - £30m
    Pickford - £30m
    Klaassen - £25m
    Sigurdsson - £45m

    All average 'mid-table' players.

    Pickford's class, IMO. He might not necassarily be worth his price right now but I think he will be very soon. Good keeper.

    The rest are pretty average, Keane is hilariously normal. Don't understand how he's considered a top player and commanding of a £30M fee.

    The Transfer activity Everton done in the summer is the sort that can bury a club, Keane, Klaassen and Sigurdsson are quite average EPL players and they spent like £100million+ on them, they also have a few old players who are near done in their team now Baines, Williams and Rooney. Could need to rebuild most of their team very soon yet have just spent allsorts.

    I agree mate.

    Pickford was probably the only one that was a decent buy.

    A back 3 of Michael Keane, Phil Jagielka and Ashley Williams.

    Any half decent team would be having a field day against that.

    Lukaku's shocking on the ball for a £90million player, the amount of times it just bounces off him in random directions.

    Jagielka's quicker than I'd expect for a 35 year old. Hasn't looked bad.

    True but think of the team improvement with someone who can get in about the link-up as well. Mata and Mkhitaryan must be ripping their hair out when they play a 1-2 and get a wee opening but then give it to Lukaku and the ball pings off him in any direction compared to what youd get with a Benzema, Suarez, Aguero and whoever.
