🚨🇪🇸 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 | Andoni Iraola is CLOSE to joining Crystal Palace, reports @marcosbenito9. 🔵🔴
Game state not important for this? Like Everton I feel do a lot of sitting in and protecting a lead which means teams are battering them with shots. XG has its use & is great, but I hope people don’t use this as the “actual league table” or anything like that.
Looked at midfield profiles for Everton through the data lens ahead of this summer and which ones best fit a David Moyes system. Some interesting names came out on top.
Thelwell bought some good players Garner, Ndiaye, Iroegbunam, Jake O'brien, Tarkowski, Young all for less than £50m - probably worth £150m £20m profit on Onana as well I think we'd even make a profit on the much maligned Beto Would have liked to see what he could have done without the financial restrictions that were in place whilst he was at Everton
Onto palace away at the weekend, must win game if we want Europe in my opinion, still a glimmer but big push needed. 🙏🏼
🗣️David Moyes on Merlin Röhl & Tyler Dibling: “Merlin, we like, Tyler, we like. Tyler, we're giving more time to because of his age. “Merlin could have easily been involved in some more games and played a little bit more time. “It'll do him no harm to have sat back for the best part of the season and looked at it. No, we like them, they're both good boys.” (Via @LivEchoEFC)
