I want Blues to aim even higher

There was so much to like about what I saw at Wolves on Saturday.

Watching from the away end, it was great to see Everton play with such positivity going forward.

Jack Grealish, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Iliman Ndiaye were all excellent and it was so refreshing to see an Everton frontline playing with such intelligence and skill.

They deserve real credit for the good parts of that display and to come away from Molineux with a win was brilliant - three wins in a week is an excellent response after that disappointing start at Leeds United.

While there may be plenty of good things to build on heading into the international break, I do want to focus on some of the areas for improvement that stood out for me, however.

As much as I enjoyed the trip to the Midlands, the afternoon would have been much more comfortable without the nervy ending.

The anxiety crept in because Everton made this match harder than it needed to be.

The start was impressive and Beto's early goal was a deserved reward for a team that was well on top. You could see that Wolves were struggling to cope and the supporters were beginning to get frustrated and that fed onto the pitch.

It is at times like that when Everton must learn how to be ruthless. Instead, in the minutes before the equaliser, it was those in Royal Blue who seemed to struggle.
