Everton came out of the dressing room a different side from the limp XI that started the game against Chelsea, and went on to win 2-0 at Goodison Park to lift the cloud of gloom over the team once again.
The fact that the Toffees are capable of looking incisive and effective is a good sign, and one that we witnessed away at Newcastle United last weekend too. However, like in that game also, quite how the players can pull a polar opposite disappearing act in the same game will remain a mystery to us fans.
