"I messed it up against Crystal Palace. I got frustrated, I had a bad half and got taken off. It was tough but you can't let it keep you down. The guys [teammates] around me have been great. The leaders, like Seamus and Tarky, really helped and told me to keep fighting, keep training good, because I have the confidence and I have the level, I just have to keep going," says Jesper Lindstrom.

A much needed behind-closed-doors friendly took place the other day after the game against Liverpool was called off due to concerns about Storm Darragh.

A special shoutout to Everton Reddit for digging up this gem of Dixie Dean.

"I think last season, it was a massive step in the right direction for me. I was on loan the season before and then to come back into the Premier League, I probably didn't expect to play the games I did. It was definitely a big, big step for me to be playing more than 30 games. But it gives you that self-confidence, as well, to know I'm good enough to be here, so I just need to keep learning and keep progressing. I think, on a personal level, that's what it's about – developing as a player and to keep learning," says Jarrad Branthwaite. [EFC]
