Friday’s Toffee Bites: Everton targeting Swiss defender

Which Everton team will show up on Saturday? No one can really be sure. Will the sports psychologist’s effects be felt right away? Will the boys keep pushing forward and beat a team that, on paper, they are clearly better than? I know that I want to see more Cenk Tosun and more Davy Klaassen. Keep them in the team and see what happens. They have done everything than can lately to prove themselves. They deserve an extended run.
