After a busy summer transfer window, in which they signed the likes of Moise Kean and Alex Iwobi, there is plenty of hype surrounding Everton this season.
The Blues impressed at the end of last season and, coupled with an active transfer window, some have them among the teams they fancy to break into the top six.
Four games into the season and that’s a distinct possibility, with the Blues joint fifth in the table having picked up seven points from a possible 12.
It’s not been plain sailing, however, with a highly disappointing defeat to newly-promoted Aston Villa dampening the mood last week.
That was quickly forgotten courtesy of an impressive 3-2 win over Wolves last weekend, with Everton fans hoping that will be the springboard to better results following the international break.
That’s certainly a mindset Gylfi Sigurdsson wants to promote, with the midfielder discussing Everton’s start to the season with Visir.
“It’s been a good start. The first game was a difficult match against Crystal Palace,” he told the newspaper.
“There was a lot of wind and dry ground, but we were frustrated not to get three points in the first game. After that, it has been up and down.
“The loss against Aston Villa was very frustrating, but we are in sixth place, which is a good start. We have two decent games ahead that could put us in a good position.”
The midfielder has come under some criticism this season, with him looking out of sorts, particularly in the defeat to Aston Villa.
The win over Wolves saw him back to his best, though, creating five key passes in the 3-2 success, the same as the next three players in the game combined.
He admits that he wasn’t playing to his full ability at the beginning of the season but now believes he, and his team, are moving forward.
“I wasn’t quite at my best in the first few games, but the last few games have been better,” he added.
“I’ve been better, and the team is better going forward. We’ve now scored seven goals in two games. We knew we were creating opportunities but weren’t sharp enough up front.”
