Everton Updates
January
4 Points from a possible 15 in the league, January saw us slip down the league. January started abysmally with us losing to a very well organized but bottom of the table
Brighton.
FA Cup match against
Wycombe provided some relief and we trounced them
4-0, with loan signing
William Carvalho getting his first goal for the Toffees. We also beat
Blackburn later in the month to proceed to 5th round.
Back to the rigors of the league and we suffered another loss against
Arsenal. Gonzalo Higuain is fighting a loan fight up at the top.
The only win for us came against an out of sorts
West Ham side with goals from, you guessed it, Higuain, and Nir Britton.
An even game against another struggling side in
Fulham brought us to a haul of 4 points from January. We ended up losing the
Newcastle as well, with James McCarthy sent off before half time.
Gerrardo Martino is rumored to be very close to the sack and unless things improve, the odds of him surviving his first season at Merseyside look very slim.
February
February only got worse than Junuary. No wins at all sees us go down to 14th in the league. We picked up 2 points from a possible 9, with draws against West Brom and Leicester. Playing at home, we should have won both these games. To add to the woes, we have been dumped out of FA cup by Wolves.
In short, Everton have nothing else to play for this season and it looks like everyone is going through the motions, waiting for the end of season break. The only spark has been the performance of Gonzalo Higuain, who has scored 19 goals in 29 games.
Biggest disappointment?

Our very own Ross Barkley.
23 Games, 69% Passing acc, 2 Assists, 1 goal. Bang average in tackling, passing, or shooting. The lad is not living up to his potential.
