Stubborn Everton refused to self-destruct after 'tough' break and now Europe hopes are stronger

|
By Joe Thomas , Michael Ball 
| Yahoo Sport UK
Having three weeks off as a player is tough. You have to try and stay fresh to make sure you hit the ground running when you return, but the break disrupts your momentum and that can be a challenge. We saw that early in the Brentford game. Against Chelsea, Everton broke up for the international break with a fine win built on intensity. That was gone in the early stages at the Gtech.

Chris Beesley & Michael Ball I'm fully behind what seems to be a growing campaign for Everton to build a statue of Neville Southall at Hill Dickinson Stadium. I idolised Nev growing up when he was the best goalkeeper in the world and then I was fortunate enough to become one of his team-mates in his final seasons with the Blues. The subject was a talking point when Everton were preparing to move to the new stadium.
