777 takeover and Branthwaite stays: 5 things every Everton fan wants this Christmas.

For the hectic Christmas season, when the games really do come thick and fast, it has already exceeded supporters’ expectations.

Evidently, that works for Sean Dyche and his team. They are hopeful that by continuing

on such a strong streak, they will have the ideal basis to accomplish something very spectacular

during the second part of the season.

The club’s primary emphasis is probably still contesting the initial deduction that was given just last month,

even in spite of other reports that suggest additional punishment and possible administration.

Numerous media outlets banded together to discuss the harsh punishment

after it was discovered that 10 points had been taken for breaking the Premier League’s

profit and sustainability regulations by a mere £19 million.

In the new year, Everton hopes to bring that process to a close and salvage some, if not all, of those points.

They would currently be only three points behind Newcastle United in seventh place if not for the deduction.

It’s not unexpected that they’ve had a run of excellent play lately given that they put themselves in such a strong position.

That three-game winning streak is outstanding and unheard of, as was previously said,

but it is merely part of a fantastic run that dates back to September.

With an EFL Cup quarterfinal approaching and nine straight victories across all competitions,

supporters will want to see this team continue to perform well at least until January.

Since their lack of creativity in front of goal has hindered them early in the season,

Everton’s biggest problem remains to be their wastefulness.

Prefaced by their ridiculously high projected goal total, the hosts lost 1-0 at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham.

Although that trend has dissipated in recent matches, they still have scored just 20 goals

in the league from an expected goals of 27.99. They are far from the level they will want to be at.

With numerous standout stars from this campaign thus far, as Vitaliy Mykolenko and

Abdoulaye Doucoure have both shone, it is Jarrad Branthwaite who has instead taken the mantle as Everton’s prized asset.
