It has been a difficult start to the season for Everton so far this campaign.

[ad_pod ]

After 12 games, they sit 15th in the table, with just four wins from those matches. Not only that, they have scored just 13 goals, which is lower than all but five other teams in the division.

Considering they are languishing towards the foot of the table, it must be hard for the Toffees to see how well their city rivals Liverpool are getting on. The Reds currently top the Premier League table by eight points from Leicester City and Chelsea, with current champions Manchester City a further point behind in fourth place. On top of that, they are the current European champions as well.

On December 4, the two teams will meet at Anfield. The Goodison Park outfit have announced that they will be holding a screening for the game, but it seems that many of the club’s supporters don’t plan on attending.

They have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts, and you can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.

Meanwhile, many Everton fans want to see one man join the Toffees.

Sheffield Wednesday finally returned to winning ways on Saturday afternoon with a victory against an injury-stricken Charlton Athletic at The Valley.

Owls top scorer Steven Fletcher added two to his tally for the season, a 17th-minute header and a late second-half penalty, while strike partner Atdhe Nuhiu bagged in added time to clinch all three points.

A change of system bore fruit for manager Garry Monk as he elected for a 4-4-2 formation with the aforementioned duo leading the line, while there was also a first start for Fernando Forestieri out on the wing with Sam Hutchinson coming back into the side to give their two-man midfield some much-needed defensive balance.

It was the performance of Barry Bannan that helped the south Yorkshireman complete their first win in five straight matches as he put in an industrious performance, showing no signs whatsoever that he was just entering his 30s.

The midfield maestro put in an encompassing display that benefitted Monk’s side at either end of the pitch – per SofaScore, he recorded three tackles, three shots and a passing accuracy of 82%, that’s on top of his assist for Fletcher’s opener.

He certainly made measures to put any chatter about his own demeanour to rest after he was slammed on social media less than 24 hours earlier following comments he made about his teammate, Foresteiri.

The 30-year-old questioned the Italian’s work ethic in training which led to some members of the Hillsborough faithful telling Bannan to ‘concentrate on his own game.’

One fan who claimed that Bannan needed to influence further up the field undoubtedly now has egg on his face as he notched his fourth assist of the season, going joint-top in the Owls squad, after supplying Fletcher with a perfectly-weighted cross for the opener.

Another supporter blasted the long-serving midfielder for only passing sideways also looks a bit silly as he recorded four key passes, meaning his contribution was actually fruitful, whilst his feat over the course of the season is by far and away above anyone else in the squad as he is averaging 2.4 per game.

With Bannan the spearhead behind their victory, you doubt many fans are slating him now.

Since leaving Liverpool earlier in the summer for £6.4m, Simon Mignolet appears to be rebuilding his career with Belgian outfit Club Brugge.

The shot-stopper was a regular for the Reds for much of his time there, making 204 appearances across six years, and he managed to keep 66 clean sheets along the way. Now back in his homeland, he appears to be doing rather well, having not conceded in 11 of his first 20 games for his new club.

In the north of England, though, there were portions of the club’s fanbase who often lambasted him for his displays, and it was not without justification.

During his time at Liverpool, he made 18 errors that led directly to goals in the league. For context, that places him at joint-sixth on the Premier League’s official website. That makes his claims that he was unfairly treated by Liverpool rather bizarre. He told Het Belang van Limburg (via The Daily Express): “If I could really fight for my place, I might have stayed. But if I had ended up in goal if Alisson picked up injury, I would be allowed to push ten shots out of the box.”

Jurgen Klopp wanted a top-class goalkeeper, and he went and signed one in Alisson. The Brazil international cost £67m, but has since repaid the money spent on him with his impressive performances. Across one-and-a-bit campaigns, he has an average save percentage of 76.8%. Mignolet could only manage 64.7% during his time there, and he never matched the 27-year-old’s 77.8% last time out in one campaign.

The fact of the matter is, Mignolet just wasn’t good enough to be a member of a title-challenging side like Alisson is.

These comments about him being unfairly treated are nothing short of delusional. Had he proven his worth to Klopp when he had the chance prior to the former Roma man’s arrival, it may have been a different story, but his failure to impress is no-one else’s fault other than his own. As Liverpool now top the Premier League table, it is unlikely any sleep will be lost over these quotes.

Since the international break is now already in full power, so are the numerous transfer rumours that are usually pretty active around those times of the footballing calendar.

And Barcelona, just like many other big clubs, are always linked with a plethora of different targets.

Sport have come out with a story stating the Blaugrana are interested in Juventus outcast, Emre Can.

The 25-year-old midfielder has only managed to tally 150 minutes for the Bianconeri across all competitions this season, taking part in just four games in total.

But the same source claims the Catalans would be interested in case one of their own midfielders were to depart the club in the not so distant future.

And upon seeing this report, many of the Barcelona fans couldn’t believe that their club was once again linked with a player they are deeming sub-par.

Some of them were comparing this transfer to the ones of Arturo Vidal and Paulinho, and one fan would even prefer keeping Ivan Rakitic if it meant Can would not be on the agenda.

You can see some of their replies down below:

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Pundit View series, which provides opinion and analysis on recent quotes from journalists, pundits, players and managers…

Sky Sports pundit Danny Mills has claimed Everton midfielder Andre Gomes has been “a big miss” at Goodison Park since suffering a rib injury, with the Portuguese’s absence helping to show his true worth to the Toffees.

What’s he said?

Everton turned Gomes’ temporary stint on loan from FC Barcelona into a permanent arrangement this summer for £22million, per BBC, after the midfielder featured in 29 games across all competitions last season, assisting twice.

The 26-year-old began the new campaign as a regular in Silva’s plans, as well, with a starting role in each of the Blues’ opening four games of the Premier League season, but has featured for just six minutes since, coming in his return appearance from the bench at Burnley.

His absence from defeats against AFC Bournemouth, Sheffield United and Manchester City through a rib injury has helped to show what Gomes brings to the table, in the eyes of Mills, who believes the 29-cap international often goes under the radar.

Speaking with Football Insider, Mills said:

“He’s one of those players you don’t always notice until he’s not there. A lot of people go: ‘Yeah, he’s alright, he does this, does that, but what does he really do?’ Then he goes missing and they go: ‘Oh yeah, that’s what he does.’

“He doesn’t have those outstanding performances where he’s bossing it and driving through the midfield, scoring and shooting and all those types of things.

“He has been a big miss. It’s no excuse, Everton have got strength in depth and some quality and they should have coped better without him, but if they can get him back fit and firing that’s a massive plus.”

Schneiderlin showed why Gomes was missed

Since featuring from the bench at Burnley, Gomes has had the international break to help finalise the closing stages of his rehabilitation in the hopes of earning his fifth start of the term against West Ham United on Saturday.

So long as Silva has no doubts over the 26-year-old’s fitness, the Everton boss will likely be keen to hand his compatriot that start, as Schneiderlin and Delph were not able to fill the void Gomes’ absence created, as Mills pointed to.

Particularly against Burnley last time out, Schneiderlin showed why Gomes was missed, as the Frenchman often tried to keep things simple and play it sideways or backwards at Turf Moor, rather than advancing play up the field.

The 29-year-old offered no defensive support, either, with no tackles attempted or interceptions recorded, while WhoScored registered his central partner Delph as making one of each.

Gomes was not statistically superior to his Everton teammates in his first four outings of the season, with both Delph and Schneiderlin recording more successful tackles, interceptions, and accurate short and long passes, but it is in the things you often do not notice, as Mills said, that saw Gomes prove himself as Silva’s first-choice midfielder.

Carroll explained that he was buzzing for the midfielder after his goal against Man United, and you can understand why.

The striker knows better than most what it’s like to earn the adulation of the fans at St James’ Park and how much that means for a local lad who has always supported the club.

You can see just how happy Carroll was for Longstaff in his Instagram post, as the smile on his face tells the whole story as he celebrates alongside his teammate.

Aston Villa are finding things tough in their Premier League return. They precariously occupy 17th in the table just two points off rock-bottom Watford.

When those at the club first took a look at the fixture release earlier in the summer, it is unlikely many would have been pleased by the fact that they play European finalists Tottenham Hotspur and an Arsenal side boasted by a new club-record signing within the first six matches of the season.

It is also unlikely that has changed since, but after the Gunners’ recent showing, it should offer up some encouragement.

Just so long as Villa boss Dean Smith makes an adjustment to how he sets out his team this weekend.

On the Chalkboard

Unai Emery’s men faced a mammoth 31 shots on goal against Watford, who as aforementioned sit bottom of the table, and became the butt of one unfortunate statistic in doing so.

No team in Europe has faced more shots than the North Londoners this season with 96.

Villa’s Wesley is only averaging 1.8 shots per game himself with 2 being the most he’s recorded in any one game. Therefore, it doesn’t seem like he’s the answer unless someone can provide him with more chances.

Instead, Smith should look to tweak his midfield by removing the need for a defensive midfielder and pushing skipper Jack Grealish into the number ten role.

The 24-year-old recorded 76 key passes last season at a squad-high average of 2.3 per game so moving him further up the field will allow him to rediscover that element of his game.

Smith can also bring Douglas Luiz back into the fray to sit next to John McGinn as he can add a slight defensive element.

He played in the role in their only win of the season alongside the Scot so that the loss of Marvelous Nakamba isn’t felt so hard, thus enabling this system to work.

Having their midfielders further up the pitch would allow more pressure on the Arsenal backline too and as seen first-hand with Watford that can force them into mistakes.

Grealish could press from the front in a number ten role, alongside the striker, which could allow them to make life difficult for a backline including Sokratis and Bernd Leno who have made one error leading to a goal this season.

[ad_pod ]Some Crystal Palace fans have taken to Twitter to reveal that they think James McArthur’s absence from the starting XI played a part in the humiliating 4-0 loss to Tottenham on Saturday.The Scotland international had started every single one of the Eagles’ Premier League fixtures before the visit to Spurs, which he missed due to an injury, and his teammates didn’t have the best of times without him.

Roy Hodgson’s men found themselves 4-0 down before the end of the first half after goals from Heung-min Son and Erik Lamela, as well as an own goal for Patrick van Aanholt.

Whilst it is easy to say that McArthur was missed due to the result, his tireless running and energy in the middle of the park does often go unnoticed – any side would miss a player who does so much work for the team.

Let’s see what the Palace fans on Twitter have been saying about his absence…

This article forms part of our Profit Players feature series, which is where Football Transfer Tavern takes a look at how well a player has fared since being signed or sold, using statistical figures and statements from pundits to prove how good of a deal the club managed to achieve.

Chelsea paid around £25m to sign Oscar back in 2012 from Internacional in a deal that had then-boss Roberto Di Matteo appearing to jump for joy regarding the possibility of bringing him to Stamford Bridge (BBC).

Indeed, the former Brazil international appeared to take to life rather well in SW6 as he managed to record some rather remarkable figures in his debut campaign. Having signed as a 20-year-old, the midfielder managed to net 12 goals and provide a further 12 assists for his team-mates in his 64 appearances (Guardian).

However, that was, perhaps, as good as it got for the South American, as he saw his contributions (and appearances) dwindle as each year passed by.

Oscar made 41 times the following season (with a contribution of seven goals and nine assists).

He played another 11 more appearances (with one assist) before deciding to leave Chelsea for the Chinese Super League.

That meant he would end his time at Stamford Bridge with a respectable record of 38 goals and 37 assists in 203 appearances (Transfermarkt), although it might not have been one that was worthy of the fee that was understood to have been paid for him.

It was reported that Shanghai SIPG had decided to splash an alleged £52m on signing the now-28-year-old, therefore handing the Blues a profit of just over 100% on the original figure they spent on him.

Oscar, though, appears to have repaid that huge transfer fee back with his performances for the Chinese outfit, as he has totalled 117 appearances that has seen him contribute with 36 goals and 60 assists.

Having moved to the Far East after thinking about the future security of his family (Guardian), it would appear Chelsea managed to cash in on him at the right time, as his figures were starting to be on the decline in the high-intensity style of football that the Premier League brings.

Chelsea fans, what did you make of Oscar during his time at the club? Let us know your thoughts by sharing them below!
