Everton Premier League season review 2009-10

10 May 2010 13:49
Manager: David Moyes[LNB]Job well done. Everton have finished roughly where everyone expected them to finish, but that is to David Moyes's credit, not his shame, given their lack of financial firepower. [LNB]Best Player: Steven Pienaar[LNB]The South African has emerged this campaign as the most influential player at Goodison Park. A likely star of the World Cup and a target for several of Europe's giants. [LNB]Worst Player: Jo[LNB]Retained on loan from Manchester City purely as squad ballast, he was returned to Eastlands and then Galatasaray after going Awol in Brazil over Christmas. [LNB]Moment of the season: The Giants' Graveyard[LNB]Not content with drawing at the Emirates and Stamford Bridge in dramatic fashion, Everton went one better and beat Chelsea and Manchester United deservedly in a week at Goodison Park. [LNB]Big Issue[LNB]Without significant funds to spend in the summer, it is hard to see how Everton improve. They possess a stronger squad than at any point under Moyes's tenure, but need to work out how to push on. [LNB]Verdict: 7 out of 10[LNB]Everton have finished where they were meant to finish, but so good has their form been since November that they should start next season in bullish mood.
