A terrible month for The Toffees with 1 win, 2 Draws and 3 Defeats on the table the owner Al-Sadd has set more pressure on the head of manager David Moyes saying he has less time to get things right and bring better players in on January. The month started with a 2-0 defeat to the 19 time league winners Manchester United where the team was dominated for the majority of the game. Everton then travelled to London to face Spurs at White Hart Lane and the game was back and forth but no goals came from this game and that was more to the fact that Everton were still without their £9.75m signing Moussa Dembele who was still injured. Everton’s first goals came from another game in London this time against QPR with goals from Fellaini and Stracqualursi but the game ended with a draw as QPR managed to score twice in the game. Everton’s next game saw them take a trip home to Goodison Park to take on Bolton and this was a game that many of people were expecting them to win but Bolton had other ideas with them securing a 2-1 and Everton’s goal coming from Montillo. The next game in line for The Toffees was the Merseyside Derby against Liverpool, Blue vs Red and many people at this point of the season were expecting Everton to be doing a lot better than Liverpool but that wasn’t the case with Liverpool in 8th and Everton in 10th, the only goal of the game for Everton came from Montillo as they were beaten 2-1 by The Reds. The last game of the month saw them make a trip to Sunderland with David Moyes job pretty much in doubt if they didn’t secure a win but in the end they managed one with a 2-1 win over Sunderland and both goals coming from Player of the Month Walter Montillo. (NOTE: Moussa Dembele was injured AGAIN in the Merseyside Derby)
League Position – 10th(25 Points)
Player of the Month
Player of the Month undoubtedly goes to Walter Montillo, in which was a very bad month for the Toffees who secured 5 points out of a possible 15. Montillo hit 4 goals an assist and 2 MOTM performances which is great for the Argentinian Playmaker.
