“I went through a lot of stages in my youth career when I lost a lot of confidence. But that is natural. You learn from your mistakes.

But I am working hard to reach that point,” says Anthony Gordon. [EFC]

It was a remarkable game with the Latics racing out into a seven-goal lead before the break, and finally winning 8-0, with the USMNT’s former Everton left back Antonee Robinson hitting the woodwork but not picking up any goals or assists of his own.
“Ancelotti has only been at Everton half a season with lockdown but Everton have had both good and bad results – so it’s nothing more than expected. Ancelotti is going to have to be ruthless to get Everton competing again, and I think he will be.

If there’s not a midfield to protect the back four, then you can’t really challenge the top six which is what needs to be done,” says Kevin Campbell. [Genting Bet]
The Blues are reportedly still in hot pursuit of Napoli midfielder Allan.
