Ian Snodin: It’s been a shaky start to the season but don’t give up on Everton FC yet

IT'S certainly not been the start to the season we all hoped for but there's no reason for anyone to panic. The 1-1 draw with Wolves was disappointing and one point from two games isn't great. I thought we would be at least three points better off than we are and we're playing catch-up already.[LNB]But I don't go along with the idea that expectation is weighing heavily on the players' shoulders.[LNB]That expectation is there for a reason and that's because we've got a very good squad this season.[LNB]With the quality we've got I'm sure there are much better performances to come and we'll soon climb the table.[LNB] The opening two results haven't shaken my belief that it's going to be a good season for Everton.[LNB]In the first half on Saturday we played some good stuff. We got down the flanks well, played at a decent tempo and it looked like we were going to be comfortable winners.[LNB]I couldn't believe we didn't get a penalty when Mikel Arteta was fouled in the box. But justice was done when Tim Cahill scored from the resulting free-kick.[LNB]It was the goal our possession and play deserved but in the second half it was a different game.[LNB]I think we have to give credit to Wolves boss Mick McCarthy and his assistant Terry Connor.
