Everton’s impressive form under David Moyes continued on Saturday when they hammered Leicester City at Goodison Park. The Blues got off to the perfect start when Abdoulaye Doucoure fired his side ahead after just 10.18 seconds.

Beto then added a second five minutes later before the forward put his side in total control heading into the break when he added a third on the stroke of half-time. Leicester’s misery was compounded when Iliman Ndiaye added a fourth in the closing stages.

The victory means Everton are nine points clear of the relegation zone, and next up is an FA Cup tie against Bournemouth. And with that game and the win over the Foxes in mind, our Blues jury have returned to have their say.

Alex McMonnies - There is a renewed vigour around the Grand Old Lady

The feel-good factor has been well and truly restored at Goodison Park. Just a few weeks ago, it was shaping up to be a truly miserable final season at the famous old ground, which has seen so much glory down the years.

But with the return of David Moyes, by far the most prosperous Everton manager of the 21st century so far, to the dugout, there is a renewed vigour around the Grand Old Lady, which witnessed a formidable performance on Saturday afternoon, as a struggling Leicester City team were swept aside with ease.

Within just 10 seconds of the game getting underway, it was clear it was going to be a good day for the Blues, as Abdoulaye Doucoure created a bit of history in Goodison's final campaign, with the quickest goal ever scored on its hallowed turf. It also felt like a truly special day for Beto, who has endured a frustrating first 18 months with the club but enjoyed by far his best game in an Everton shirt with two well-taken goals in the first half to hand the Toffees a 3-0 half-time lead for the second consecutive home match.

The centre-forward owed a huge debt of gratitude to both James Tarkowski and James Garner for two wonderful assists. The latter made his first start since October after a back injury kept him out for an extended period, and it looked like he'd never been away with a truly imperious display in the middle of the park. With Tim Iroegbunam also returning from the sidelines, as well as Carlos Alcaraz coming in on loan from Flamengo, there is suddenly going to be plenty of competition for a place in the Everton midfield.

There was understandably disappointment from many over the lack of additions in the January transfer window, but with three wins out of three, relegation is nowhere near as big a concern as it was at the turn of the year and made any substandard signings just to make up the numbers a lot more unnecessary. Hopefully the summer will see this side finally reach the next level.

In the meantime, Everton have two important home matches coming up, so the timing of Goodison suddenly becoming a fortress could not have been much better. Bournemouth await in the FA Cup on the Saturday, offering the Blues a chance to avenge their humiliating capitulation back in August, before the final ever Merseyside derby at Goodison Park takes place on Wednesday night. Two wins from those two games would see the feel-good factor on L4 reach stratospheric levels.

James Kellett - Everton can find positives in their business

The January window has shut, and Everton can find positives in their business. It is quite plain to see the squad is not beaming with quality, and signings must be made in the summer.

Even though this window was one of little business, it can be viewed as a window that will benefit us. The one piece of business - Carlos Alcaraz - was shrewd and seems to be a player that can offer his services for numerous seasons to come.

Casting minds back to 2018, a January window saw the signings of Theo Walcott and Cenk Tosun. Both arguably served well in the short term but offered little in the long term.

David Moyes made it clear about the restricted funding and his hesitancy to panic buy a short-term boost. Although only one signing was made, I think this window was still an ambitious one, and the club appears to be in the right mindset by prioritising future windows in which better investment can be made.

Paul McParlan - Creating lasting memories

It was good to see David Moyes state in his programme notes before the Leicester City game on Saturday that he wants to give the supporters “something to shout about.” And in our last season at Goodison Park, this is exactly what the fans want to hear.

This was something that Sean Dyche never seemed to grasp. He never appeared to understand that we wanted to create memories to take with us when we leave the Old Lady. Under his reign, there were far too many turgid, soul-destroying displays that numbed the hearts of Evertonians when we wanted something special. It had reached the stage where fans felt that going to watch an Everton home game was something to be endured rather than savoured, and that was wrong on every level. We deserved better.

David Moyes has brought a feeling of optimism back to Goodison Park since his return; he has changed the mindset at Goodison. It is no longer about sitting back and grinding out a goalless draw; it is about starting on the front foot, taking control of the game, playing quick, fast-paced football, and giving their defenders problems to deal with. The transformation has been astounding, and listening to fans at half-time and after the match, buzzing and talking enthusiastically about the match, rather than trying to wipe it from their memories, has been a joy to behold.

Utilising a player’s skill set is a key part of the manager’s job. Players such as Beto and Jake O’Brien, who had been frozen out under Sean Dyche for no obvious reason, have been given a chance to show their talent and have responded brilliantly to the challenge.

Beto is clearly not a target man, but he showed on Saturday that if you give him passes in the right areas where he can use his pace, then he will score. Iliman Ndiaye, instead of being confined to the wing, has been allowed to roam freely and unravel opposition defences with his sublime trickery.

The football has been entertaining, the team is oozing confidence, and the players are starting to express themselves rather than being constrained by a negative tactical diktat. And instead of fans streaming for the exits before the end, they are staying behind to cheer the team off the pitch.

That bond between supporters and the team has been recreated, and everyone benefits. There are now two massive games looming for Everton. First up are AFC Bournemouth in the FA Cup on Saturday, followed by the visit of our rivals on Wednesday.

These matches offer another chance to create memories from our final season at Goodison Park. Beating an in-form Bournemouth to make the fifth round and perhaps another home tie would be a good start.

And if we could add to that by winning the final Goodison derby, then that really would be something special to remember for years to come. Memories are made of this.
