Redmond is one of the most frustrating players to watch in the league.

tbf this Everton team on paper could be top 6. This isn't comparable to Leicester, they have a very competitive team with good players and they don't have europe in a crazy congested fixture list. I wouldn't be surprised if they did win, strange things will happen this season. But I don't think it will happen.
We had positive results for us yesterday, and Everton dropping points would be great. Southampton are in form so could see them get something.

Tight game this. Looks like it could go either way.
Anyone else think it's kinda ridiculous that So'ton play such a high line with 2 slow lumps at CB. I like watching them play but they do look borderline suicidal at times. Surely quicker CBs should've been their no.1 priority in the transfer market?

I certainly won't be writing them off as I was a guilty party in writing Leicester off week after week.
Everton have a decent squad, good enough to cope should they not have too many injuries and Ancelotti is a very wily coach. He knows how to win tough games and manage them. He's not going to reinvent anything and they aren't going to progress teams but they will have know how.
Italian coaches have always done well in the PL as well, Ranieri, Mancini, Conte and Ancelotti himself all winning the title so it's not mad to think they could do it, especially as everyone else is chucking points away.
We do have a better squad than them of course, it just depends on how we cope with schedule and if we can stop giving goals up from set pieces, something Ancelotti's teams don't.

To be fair. DCL was involved at a much younger age at Everton. If you count it by age, DCL record is 33 goals in 86 games (in all competitions), from the season he was 21/22. Which is a very solid record, Kane's was around 59 goals in 101 games. So there is a difference yes, but the record you are using is misleading.
We don't know, DCL was a much more highly rated talent than Kane ever was. He started regularly playing for Everton as a teenager and has always been hyped up as a future England international, the same can't be said about Kane. Kane is a truly special player, but he is special because he works really hard, not because of talent.
It's very hard to tell what DCL will become as a player as this may just be a purple patch or may develop into a routine, if he keeps this rate up all season (unlikely) and then replicates something similar in the future, he'd be the next big thing and would warrant all comparisons. They are not stylistically that similar though, so it's an odd thing really to compare. But good on DCL he's proved a lot of people wrong this year and truly looks excellent.
