 Ancelotti on Everton's defeat to Aston Villa


Everton went into the game in need of a win to extend their European hopes, a poor run of home form was a hot topic before kick off, and this game proved to be no different than any home game this year, Carlo Ancelotti stated in his post match interview: “We didn’t play good, we didn’t start well, we made a lot of mistakes, no balance, no concentration, it was a not a good of evening”


It was a script we have seen many times this season, losing to a team, that realistically we should be beating if we want to be serious challengers for Europe.


Carlo: “I think we have to be a lot more focused and have a lot more desire”


Despite an incredible win away to Arsenal only 7 days ago, it seemed a completely different team that played tonight, “This season, the home form is like this, it is difficult to say why, it’s the same team that beat Arsenal 7 days ago”


“We could do better at home for sure, it is unbelievable the run we had away”


“We were not good, we didn’t have a good balance, we didn’t have a good solution when we had the ball”


“The season is not finished yet, we have 5 games left, we have to keep fighting to try and reach our target”

Everton: Sell, or keep?

Jordan Pickford- Keep. I’d keep Jordan Pickford, he’s shown that he is capable of being our number one countless times this season.  Robin Olsen- Sell. I wouldn’t keep Robin Olsen, I don’t think he is very reliable and is not good enough. A good back up, but not a good first team player.  Joao Virginia- Keep. No brainier here, I’d keep Joao Virginia at Everton. Perhaps a loan move is on the cards for him. He performed well in the games he played this season, but I think he needs a loan move.  Seamus Coleman- Keep. The club captain, he will stay for another season but as a backup option I think. A right back is a must in the summer for Everton.  Jonjoe Kenny- Sell. Kenny is not good enough. He never has been and never will be, one of the worst players I have saw play for us as a right back, Cuco Martina is a better right back than Kenny! Sell for as much as possible  Michael Keane- Keep. Keane is a solid backup, but I think our best partnership is Mina and Godfrey. I’d expect    Keane t

What would Denzel Dumfries bring to Everton?

-
Dumfries is a 25 year old right back, who currently plays his football for PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch league, has had interest from director of football Marcel Brands. Everton are still searching for a new manager, yet the Dutchman is continually linked. Names such as Nuno Espirito Santo and Eddie Howe have been thrown around, as have Christophe Galtier, however, whoever the new manager is needs to add a right back. Should Galtier arrive from Lille, the Zeki Celik links would once again arise as they did in January of 2020 and 2021. Dumfries is a raw, attacking fullback, similar to Seamus Coleman. He would add a different option to Everton’s defence and would be a substantial upgrade on the Irishman. Dumfries’ versatility is also needed to be taken into consideration. He has played as a right back, left back, central defender and even as a winger for PSV, this is the type of player that we need and should be trying to sign.
