Well, in the end, it was another former Burnley man who made the difference as James Tarkowski headed home from a corner to secure a shock win for Everton. Well, maybe not a shock, given that Everton outplayed us for long stretches, showing early signs that Dyche has reinvigorated this squad. They hustled and harried and harassed, and, for the first time in a long time, we really could not respond or rise to the occasion. It’s a dispiriting result, considering the yawning gulf between us and them, but we had to know that we’d be facing a Toffees side different to the one that had won only three matches going into this one. For Dyche, it’s only the second time in 16 tries that he’s found a win against us, meaning he’ll probably experience something akin to joy, or at least less misery than he’s accustomed to. Well, the less said for now, the better. Let’s get to the poll and rate the lads. If you want to see results as they roll in, click here. A nifty little graphic will be available later.
