Jordan Pickford the lone bright spot in defeat for negative Everton

Sam Allardyce says Everton’s scoring abilities are limited.

Everton paid the price for a lack of ambition as Bournemouth ran out 2-1 winners on Saturday, handing Sam Allardyce his first defeat since taking charge as the recent eight-match unbeaten run came to an abrupt halt.

There was an unwanted but fitting irony to the result as this safety-first approach backfired for the second time in four days. Despite Allardyce setting his team up to defend, his players did so terribly. Everton conceded as many goals in this match as their previous eight games…

Jordan Pickford the lone shining light as Arsenal maul dismal Everton

After an excellent start by Everton that was capped off by a Wayne Rooney goal, Ronald Koeman’s side completely capitulated in the second half to lose their fifth league game of the season.

While Everton sit in the relegation zone, Gab Marcotti explains why Ronald Koeman may still have time to save his job.

Wayne Rooney discusses his hopes of scoring the 61 required to overtake Alan Shearer’s 260 Premier League goals.
It says much of the transformation that has taken place this year that many Everton fans felt a little disappointed to have only drawn 1-1 at Manchester City on Monday night.
Manager Ronald Koeman was among them. Granted, this was a City side reduced to 10 men by Kyle Walker’s dismissal, but it is clear Everton are growing in strength and have enough to hold their own against the very best in the league.

1. Rooney makes perfect homecoming
All summer long Everton fans have, privately or publicly, harboured their little doubts about Wayne Rooney. Some have never wavered, but for most there has been pointed talk of his “influence in the dressing room” and his “experience at the highest level”, those intangible qualities that would surely compensate for his fading powers.
