Everton’s unbeaten run in the Premier League moved to seven games on Wednesday night. The Blues picked up another valuable point against Brentford after Jake O’Brien scored 13 minutes from time.

David Moyes’ side fell behind in first-half stoppage time when Yoane Wissa turned the ball home from close-range after Everton failed to clear a long throw into the box. But with 13 minutes remaining, O’Brien was on hand to head home Vitalii Mykolenko’s cross, with the point extending his side’s unbeaten league run to seven games.

The draw came just a couple of days after the Blues were held to a 2-2 draw by Manchester United at Goodison Park. And, with both games in mind, our Everton jury have returned to have their say.

James Kellett - A much needed break

Following David Moyes’ appointment in January, if I was told by February, Everton will be 15 points above the relegation zone with a superior goal difference, I would have told you to stop dreaming.

Yet here we are, albeit still relatively low in the table, the worries of relegation have been greatly relinquished, with the implementation of Moyes triggering an impressive unbeaten league run of seven games - Everton’s best league run since 2017.

On paper this has been a marvellous run of form, but on paper does not do it justice. As the team has slowly chipped away at creating a buffer between themselves and the bottom three, their efforts have been commendable.

Amongst the consistency of picking up points, players have been dropping frequently for Everton; injuries and suspensions have tried to put a spanner in the works for the Toffees, but they have still come out fighting, showing a resilience that has been sorely missed.

With the Blues off to the UAE for warm weather training, this is something I truly take comfort in. Wolves and West Ham are the only clubs Everton will face in March, but looking ahead to April, it can only be described as a daunting schedule.

All five matches are against the top five teams in the league, and it is obvious we are going to need every player in the squad to be available. So I say to players and fans alike, cherish these two weeks.

Enjoy the position we are in at the moment and the well-earned rest, but with the prospect of players returning to boost the squad, maintain that excitement for the challenge ahead.

Paul McParlan - Taking your chances

Everton’s unbeaten league run extended to seven games with a hard-fought draw away at Brentford on Wednesday evening. It was an important point on the road that keeps Everton on an upward trajectory.

This time last year we had not tasted victory in nine games, which shows that the progress David Moyes has made in his time in charge is immense. One of the key factors in this improvement is the number of chances Everton are creating in each game.

On Saturday, more clinical finishing would have secured the win against Manchester United, and at Brentford we could and possibly should have been two up by half time, if Beto had taken those opportunities. And although he did not score himself, he still put the Bees defenders under constant pressure.

It is an old adage in football that managers are more concerned with not creating chances rather than a failure to take them. Towards the end of Sean Dyche’s reign, Everton were hardly having any shots on target, and the football was dull, uninspiring and soul-destroying to watch.

Watching Everton now is a completely different experience; the team can quickly turn defence into attack, and passes are being played in behind opposition defenders rather than being aimlessly launched forward. It has been a pleasure to watch a change in mentality from us worrying about how to stop our opponents to them worrying about how to stop us.

The resilience displayed by the Blues in west London was encouraging. After conceding a soft goal just before the interval, they responded well in the second half and were the better side. More chances were squandered, but what a brilliant and powerful header it was from Jake O’Brien to level the game.

The Irish defender has been a revelation since coming into the team and is acting as an inspirational role model for any youngster who has been diagnosed with Type One Diabetes. You can only wonder how Sean Dyche considered that he was not ‘Premier League ready’.

The work ethic that David Moyes has instilled into the team is paying dividends. Jack Harrison might frustrate fans with his failure to deliver a telling cross, but you cannot fault his effort and commitment to the cause.

Everton were down to the bare bones of the squad on Wednesday, with our most creative players, such as Dwight McNeil and Iliman Ndiaye, missing. The team looked shattered towards the end, but they kept going.

There is now a break of 10 days before the next fixture away at Wolverhampton Wanderers, which may give some players the chance to return to first-team action. If we had taken our chances in the last two games, then Everton could have gained six points rather than two.

Nevertheless, we are unbeaten in seven games, and surely David Moyes is in the running for manager of the month. He must be in with a chance?
