Everton produced perhaps their best performance of the season against Chelsea on Saturday evening.
David Moyes’ side thumped Chelsea 3-0 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Beto netting a brace and Iliman Ndiaye getting on the scoresheet.
Surely everyone is Moyes in now? 🤔

Troy Deeney reckons Chelsea would love Everton’s James Tarkowski
Deeney named Tarkowski in his Team of the Week as he was very complimentary of the 33-year-old’s display against Chelsea.
“It was another solid performance from the Everton defender,” Deeney stated.
“He showed his experience and control, and was always where he needed to be. He made those tackles when needed and more importantly was a calming presence in their backline.

“How Chelsea would love a centre-back with that kind of gumption, especially given the shaky defending they have shown at times.”
Should Everton actually be getting Beto tied down to a new contract? 🤔
He'll only have a year left this summer…

The former Watford striker also named Jordan Pickford and Garner in his team.
On Pickford, Deeney said: “One of the massive moments in Everton’s 3-0 win against Chelsea was his brilliant save to deny Enzo Fernandez. He has come up pretty big in such moments for Everton this season and, hopefully, he can continue to do that for England in the summer at the World Cup.”
Deeney isn’t surprised by Garner’s form this season, as he noticed what a brilliant skillset he had when the former Man United youngster was on loan at the Hornets several years ago.
“He could have just chilled out after getting called up to the England squad this week. But instead, he cracked on and put in a great performance.
“It was a lovely assist from him to Beto for Everton’s opener. Having played with him at Watford, I know he’s all about high energy and big tackles. He has got it all and I hope he does well for England to force his way into that World Cup squad.”
