So was that impressive? By looking at the records, no. With a goal difference of minus three, AvM being injured again after fighting back from serious injury and lost of form. There was even side shows where Yobo's brother got kidnapped in Nigeria and the resignation of the club's CEO, Keith Wyness.

Well it's not all gloom, I guess. Firstly, two youngsters were on the scoring list - Jut and Baxter. Also, the latter has been on an electrifying form. what's promising is that he's only 16 years old. Other youngsters who were thrown into the fold - Kieran Agard, Dan Gosling and Jack Rodwell all performed extremely well.

Secondly, we saw the return of Arteta, Ossie, Bainsey and Vaughny. We need all the players we can get. Thirdly, Pienaar preformed extraordinarily well in the last couple of games.

So Everton may not be in the top four, maybe not even the top six, but what I know is that we will give those supposed top four clubs a run for their money. There's a future!
