What an excellent job Sean Dyche did with Everton last season, keeping the Toffees in the Premier League despite being given a 12 point deduction from the league.
The expectations around Merseyside will be even bigger this season. Surely the Toffees won’t have any more points take off them and they can focus on finishing as high up the table as they possibility can.
If they didn’t have the 12 points take off them last season, they would have finished in the top half of the table!
You build a successful team from the defence out and Everton have signed a talented young 23 year old Irish boy from the small seaside town in Youghal in county Cork.
The city of Liverpool has alway had a strong contention with the island of Ireland and now they have one of Ireland’s brightest prospects.
Everton already have the pride of Donegal in their captain, Séamus Coleman who is now 35 years of age and coming towards the end of his career. Who better to replace him and be another club legend than a 6’6 foot centre back also from the Emerald Isle.
Everywhere Jake O’Brien has gone, he has done well and made a massive difference. Expect the talented youngster to do the same on Merseyside. Everton will face Brighton at home in their opening match, Spurs the following week and finish with Bournemouth before the International break.
That’s not a bad opening three games for the blue side of Liverpool and I’m sure Sean Dyche will be aiming to pick up at least 5 points or more out of those three games.
Everton will move into their new home Everton Stadium located at Bramley-Moore Dock in Vauxhall, Liverpool at the end of this season. So I’m sure the Toffees will want to leave Goodison Park on a high and bring that momentum into their new home.
The Toffees are still the only team to have never been relegated from the top flight league in England and this season you can bet they will be pushing for the top half with 1xBet ..
Despite Everton’s lack of success in an extremely long time, their fans are still hugely demanding and even more passionate about their club.
Sean Dyche has proven to be the right man for the job thus far and with the smart buy of Jake O’Brien from French club Lyon it will give the Toffees a rock in defence and a defender with a keen eye for goal. Keep a very close eye on Everton and Jake O’Brien ..
