What's changed at Everton recently? Looking like they might be in a relegation scrap a few weeks ago, now sat in 10th having beaten Chelsea and City without conceeding.
Also, why can't they play as well before January as they can after it, this happens every season?
Landon Donovan should get a lot of credit. He has brought balance to the side that we usually lack. Moyes deciding to play Straculursi has also helped. We spent most of the season with Saha up front on his own and he can't play that target man role at all. Denis can hold the ball up nicely and link play again.
I'm always more confident against the big teams at home that when we play the minnow. Moyes' negative football naturally works against the big teams but aren't effective against sides that are just as negative as they cancel each other out.
