Verdict from Joe Thomas after Everton's clash with Doncaster Rovers in the League Cup
The saying goes that the night is darkest just before dawn. Maybe that is the case for this Everton team?
It was Beto who sparked a comeback that should not have been necessary and it was another new signing, Arnaut Danjuma, who finished the salvage operation. Their goals, and this win, now offer a platform upon which Dyche and his side now must build. But half-time substitute Beto changed everything, as Everton have signed him to do. He immediately won a free-kick on the halfway line as he offered the first challenge to a home centre back of the match. He chased down long balls, fought for headers and helped Everton launch their first co-ordinated attacks. The former Udinese man was the talisman Everton so clearly lack when Dominic Calvert-Lewin is absent, and he won this match for his new club.
In a game that pitted bottom of the Premier League against bottom of the Football League, one side with little confidence was always likely to come away with a result to build their season on. In this case, it may have been both as Doncaster will take pride in their performance while Everton can take the belief that some of the answers to the club’s on-the-pitch problems lie at Dyche’s disposal.
Time and again he found space that he exploited to keep the momentum with a Doncaster team that could have been ahead in the opening seconds after Pickford was dispossessed in his own box. Everton scrambled the chance behind for a corner that culminated in a cross finding Joseph Olowu unmarked and eight yards out only for the centre back to miss-time his header.
