It is undeniable that coach Ancelotti has created steel in Everton to get the current results. What this Merseyside team lacks in the first half of this season despite having recruited many outstanding stars like Alex Iwobi or Fabian Delph and the squad already has stars Richarlison, Theo Walcott or Calvert-Lewin.
As at the Crystal Palace win on the evening of February 8, Everton showed a strong personality that makes the current top rivals like Chelsea or Tottenham have to be afraid.

After a smooth start with Bernard’s opening goal scoring the 18th minute from Walcott’s assist, Everton suddenly found themselves in a difficult position when they could not impose the game. Partly because of Walcott after an assist to leave the field due to injury.

At the beginning of the second half, Everton had to pay the price when Crystal Palace held many attacks and equalized 1-1 by Christian Benteke, after the mistake of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, wrongly judged the situation for the ball to go into the net.

Facing the situation of being divided points, coach Ancelotti has made reasonable adjustments in terms of tactics that are reorganizing the defence and increasing the counter-attacks faster.
