I spoke to Tom who runs Everton blog Post Match Pint. Here are his answers to the questions I have set him.

What is your view of how things are going on the pitch at our Blues?

The results speak for themselves! At the start of the season you struggled to score goals and with all the uncertainty off the pitch I thought another relegation might be on the cards. However since the takeover things seemed to have clicked on the pitch as well. With money promised in January things could be looking up.

Where do you think we need to strengthen?

Hmm tough one. You have good players right throughout the team – Hart, Johnson, Bowyer, Benitez, so I guess it is a case of trying to strengthen everywhere with quality. If a few injuries hit I don’t think you have the back up players to maintain your good form.

Do you think we will survive the drop or are we legitimately looking higher?

I think staying up will always be the priority – look at Hull last year, they got a bit to cocky and nearly paid the price. However you’re playing with confidence so there is no reason to not keep raising your expectations as the season progresses.

Which player(s) do you think are our danger man/men in regard of Sunday’s game?

Benitez and Jerome (if fit) seem to be in form. Seb Larsson bagged a few good goals recently, as has Lee Bowyer. Your team is full of confidence so all need to be watched. Toffees fans will also keep an eye out for former Blues Carsley and McFadden.

Everton fans must be a little disappointed with the start to the season so far – where is it going wrong at the moment?

Injuries mainly! We had our entire spine of our side taken out last year (Jagielka, Areteta, Yakubu) and it has only got worse this season. (Neville,Vaughan Anichebe, Rodwell, Distin, Yobo, Gosling and Rodwell are all out as well).

Most teams bar the big four would struggle with our injury list. It is frustrating as I reckon our first team, when all players our fit, are capable of challenging for a top four spot. Off the field financial problems and the Lescott situation unsettled the side at the start and Moyes had to buy players very late in the transfer window. Then we had the ground move rejected by the government so it has all been a bit crazy. However we had two battling draws against Spurs and Chelsea so we hope we have turned the corner now. Unfortunately I think we are too far behind in the race for Europe so we may have to settle for a top 8 finish at best ?though lets move away from the relegation zone first!).

Do you think Moyes is the right man for the job, reason why yes or no.

Yes. Had he had the right backing financially from the chairman I’m convinced he would have had us in the Champions League by now. He has done a fantastic job turning the club from a relegation side to one that regularly finishes in the top six, without spending a fortune (unlike sides like Spurs who seem to spend money for fun!) But every time he has looked to push us on he has been forced to sell or operate on a very tight budget. The small squad and the ‘team spirit’ that has emerged from it has been of benefit, but if we want to try and break into that top four we need to spend big money, and for that we need a new chairman, not a new manager.

Do you think your run in the Europa cup is distracting you regarding the premier league, and do you think you can win the cup – or would you rather be out of it?

I think we would have struggled in the league regardless, though the extra games didn’t help with the small squad. It’s strange as so many teams strive to get into Europe then don’t want to be in it when they do. I personally love the European nights at Goodison and would hate to see the players not take it seriously. We have got Sporting Lisbon coming up and potential? Atletico Madrid. With us so far behind in the league, as long as we pull away from the zone I think we should go for it (and maybe be Liverpool in the final!!!)

What should I have asked and what is your answer?

Issues troubling Everton fans at the moment – the chairman and the ground move.

I’m a big Bill Kenwright fan, most Blues are, and like having a Everton fan at the helm. But the reality is he is skint and if we want to progress we need new investment. He once said that the search for a new owner is going on 24/7 but while we see other clb getting bought out and the likes of City and Villa overtake us it gets frustrating. Either way I get the feeling things will come to a head soon.

With the ground move, most fans were against the move to Kirkby or felt it was the only option. However if given the choice a redeveloped Goodiosn would be the dream (not a ground share!!!). But that is expensive too. If there is an Evertonian with a billion quid burning a hole in his back pocket and is willing to build a new ground and give some to Moyes, now is the time to act!!

What do you think the result will be?

It will be close and it is not a good time to be playing you. However we have to build on the last two results and think we may nick it. I’ll go a tight and very nervy 2-1 Everton win (**crossing fingers!!**)

Tell me a little bit about yourself Tom, what do you do and how long have you been running your blog?

PostMatchPint began in February 2009 as a result of my work writing blogs for Betfair, it was the perfect combination of my work and passion, with blogs I write for work as well as my own rants about Everton being put up on the site. I grew up near Liverpool before moving to Leeds and finally I have made the dramatic move to Sydney, where following the Blues will involve late nights and satellite TV instead of my usual trip across the M62 to Goodison Park. I hope we are still in the Premier League when I get back!
