Your daily dose of Everton news and rumours

Dwight McNeil believes his Everton side paid the price for failing to take their chances against Ipswich Town as he opened up on a frustrating spell on the sidelines:

“It’s my first [long-term] injury and it’s been so frustrating. It was just nice to be back out there with the lads, but it’s going to be a tough one for me as well, because I want to win, I want to help the team win, and like I say, we were in the best position to do that, and again we conceded two goals, and we got punished.” [Liverpool Echo]

Beto admits his Everton side might be being haunted by ghosts from the past after surrendering another lead against Ipswich Town:

“There is not a reason, but we know this is happening. Maybe when you are on the pitch, we think too much about this; the ghosts from the past come, but I don’t know. I just think we need to keep going forward because next time maybe when we are 2-0 up, we keep the result or score more goals.”
