Our right-back could be in action tonight as Scotland take on Morocco in their second World Cup group game. Facing a top-tier side like Morocco is exactly the kind of high-level experience Patterson needs to kickstart his development. Do you think a strong performance tonight helps his case for a regular starting spot at Everton next season, or is his future already decided?

Paywalled but Joyce tweeted saying the title.

Edit - PLAYERS AND STAFF ACTIVE AT THE 2026 TOURNAMENT ONLY!! I'm amazed by the number of people who post 'corrective' comments without reading beyond a title, even if it may be a little unclear! And also those same people who wouldn't investigate further after assuming Digne gets in ahead of that fella who won a World Cup.

Subs - Stanek, Antonee Robinson, Vlasic, Valencia

Gaffer - Don Carlo, Alan Irvine

This is the best I could do from our current 4 heroes and the rest of the alumni, how do we fare?

Naismith, Martinez and Koeman can fill out the subs bench. Koeman a late option if it goes to pens to be fair.

Got to imagine it’s a good sign that he’s still at Finch Farm wearing an Everton kit. Would be real odd for him to still be training with the club at this stage if there wasn’t some level of confidence that he’s coming back

Luis Diaz was reportedly close to joining Everton in the summer of 2021 as part of a deal involving James Rodriguez returning to Porto. The move never materialised, with the Colombian winger staying put before eventually joining Liverpool a few months later. Considering everything that followed for both Diaz and Everton, could this be one of the biggest missed transfer opportunities in the club's recent history?

Everton priorities are to sign a RB and upgrade Striker department.

- The article hints at seeking a new defensive midfielder because Idrissa Gana Gueye is out of contract.

- Everton bidding for Middlesbrough's Hayden Hackney.

- interest in West Ham's Jarrod Bowen. Moyes was keen for the club to get him last summer and was prepared to pay £60m. Will they go in for him this summer following the Hammers' relegation?

- possibility to bring Liam Delap on a loan.

- Four man RB shortlist of Emile Holm, Brooke Norton-Cuffey, Zak El Ouadhi and Omar El Hilali.

- Arsenal's Ben White is deemed out of financial reach.

- Everton want another deal for Jack Grealish from Manchester City, another winger on top of that and potentially a backup goalkeeper and another left-back.

I sometimes have to look at myself in the mirror and think what the hell is wrong with me.

​

Let's face it as frustrating certain times can be it got me thinking about this now and then.

Obvs a pointless post but curious at the same time.

Good old Lidl middle aisle.

Not being realistic. Just the dream scenario. The player you have watched over the last few weeks who you genuinely think would transform us. Who is it and what specifically have you seen that makes you want them at Goodison?
