What have you made of Everton’s start to the season?

I think it’s safe to say I’d be speaking for all Evertonians when I say we didn’t think it would be quite this good.

Yes, our summer signings were exciting and we do still have Carlo Ancelotti in charge, but if you had told me in August that we’d be sitting top after 7 wins and a draw against Liverpool from our first 8 games, I’d have laughed in your face.

At this point, it really is Top 6 or bust, and I think we should be incredibly disappointed if we manage to avoid European football next season.
