ANOTHER draw. Another afternoon of misfiring in front of goal. And another draw there, which has resulted in some supporters of 10th-placed Everton having a little gloat about it all. They’ve not had too much else to shout about so fair play. I remember those days....
SOMETIMES, you play the game out beforehand in your head. You don’t particularly want to, but you can’t help it. You’re doing the shopping, travelling to work, pretending to listen to your boss, your mind wanders, thinking about the big game, imagining what might...
