Dig Deep Blues

This season has not started the way we expected it to after a tremendous last season.

At this current time we sit 17th, one spot out of the relegation zone. After 7 games we have only taken 6 points. One win, three draws and three losses. We have also conceded the most amount of goals in the whole premier league. Injury has ravished through our squad this season with key players such as Kevin Mirallas, Seamus Coleman and Ross Barkley out through injury.

But my fellow Evertonians i ask you to dig deep because through thick and thin we will accomplish greatness and return to our formula that sticks.

Some people ask why we are playing so poorly. Is it because of the extra games due to the Europa League? Or is it the so called 2nd season syndrome?

Roberto Martinez said that he wants to make Everton a greater club by playing in Europe. We have show class performances in Europa League so far especially against Wolfsburg.

I feel that the current squad we have is the strongest that I have ever seen. We have the youth of John Stones, Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku mixed with the experience of Tim Howard, Gareth Barry, Samuel Eto'o and Steven Naismith. We have such a balanced group of players but we are lacking that intensity going forward. We are nearly averaging 2 goals a game which does not seem adequate for us to achieve our ambitions when we are conceding over two goals a game.

With Ross Barkley soon to be back training, I hope that he can bring that intensity in our final third like he did last season.

In last season's campaign, our worst period was when Romelu Lukaku was out. Roberto Martinez keeps reassuring us that he is not fully fit from the World Cup but the World Cup was 3 months ago.

I keep seeing on social media after every game we play of our own fans trash talking our team. Yes, i agree we have not be great this season but everyone please back Bobby and our Blue boys and I am sure the school of science is on its way back.
