Dari tim yang berupaya menjauh dari jerat relegasi pada sebulan lalu, Everton kini berubah menjadi skuat yang percaya diri mampu menembus papan atas di akhir musim.
"Kami mencetak 11 gol dalam lima laga terakhir dan mencatat sejumlah clean sheet," ujar manajer The Toffees, Sam Allardyce.
Tren apik Everton bermula dengan kemenangan telak 4-0 atas West Ham.
Saat itu, Allardyce masih duduk di bangku penonton menyaksikan The Toffees pimpinan caretaker David Unsworth.
The Sam Allardyce revolution continues apace at Goodison Park. Another unbeaten game, another clean sheet, more to the point, another elevated opponent left scratching their heads as to how they did not seize three points: everything is going right for the Big Man since he arrived on Merseyside.
“We scrapped it out, dug it out, battled it out,” beamed Allardyce afterwards. “Defensively you can’t knock the players in terms of keeping such a talented team at bay.”
He was right there. An Everton side who, for an alarming few weeks in the autumn, gave every appearance of forgetting how to defend, locked out the champions, completely frustrated a sparkling Chelsea front line. And it was not through a surfeit of luck. This was a proper rearguard action, disciplined, organised, effortful, with Michael Keane, Jonjoe Kenny and Jordan Pickford demonstrating that young English players still know precisely how to behave when their backs are to the wall.
What will have pleased Allardyce even more was that it suggested he has a squad, more than just a team. Wayne Rooney, who has been on sparkling form since Allardyce arrived in the Goodison dug out, was laid low with illness, so the home side were obliged to step out shorn of their talisman.
But then Chelsea too were depleted. With Alvaro Morata suspended for his fifth yellow card of the season, Eden Hazard was playing up front for the visitors, in the middle of a front 30, or more precisely a trio of number tens.
