NORMALLY we bemoan the seemingly endless international breaks that disrupt the start of every season and prevent everyone, players and supporters, from getting into their groove properly.
No rhythm or pattern develops and it’s hard to work out how good new signings look or get any indication of how the season is going to pan out when the games come along in awkward clumps.
However, in this instance, with Everton suffering so many injuries, the two-week hiatus looks like it might have been a Godsend. After all, the whole side looked tired in their last outing, the disappointing 1-1 draw with Stoke City that came on the heels of that dramatic fight-back in a rain-soaked Minsk.
