The festive season

With Fellaini and Rodwell returning for the Chelsea match and gaining a well deserved point. November was a frustrating month with 2 defeats and 3 drawn games, hopefully the Chelsea game will be the start of a good December for us.

December will go on to include Wigan at home Saturday, followed by a trip to Manchester next week to face City, then Birmingham at home, and finally away against West Ham.

The league is exceptionally close this season, and a string of 3 wins would take Everton well into the top half (and maybe beyond).

Everton fans have become accustomed to the team being slow starters, usually because we have to wait for a list of injured players to return. They would normally be returning one after one, about this time of year. This season we have done some things right in pre-season that we haven't before, or maybe we have been lucky, either way we have not been suffering from injuries much.

West Bromwich marked the rock bottom of our season so far, from there it can only get better. As usual then, our season starts now.

In Moyes we trust!
