Everton’s return to European football hasn’t gone at all according to plan.

The Icelandic midfielder, a recent £45m arrival from Swansea, scored just 13 seconds into the second half of Everton’s Europa League playoff against Hajduk Split – and what a goal it was too.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman expects Ross Barkley to leave the club during this summer’s transfer window.

However, a number of players have put their hands up …

Liverpool’s consistent inconsistency has come back to haunt them once again this season, with their latest 3-2 defeat to Swansea City putting a huge dent in their chances of winning the title this term.  Every time the Reds have come close to upsetting the status quo when it comes to winning the Premier League they have not lacked the ability …
