OPINION
It is a statement of the bleedin’ obvious that Everton must do all they can to tie Andre Gomes down to a permanent deal after the impression he has made in the last month or two. Nevertheless, it is worth repeating in the wake of another tour de force from the Portugal international how big an asset he can be for the Merseysiders. The midfielder was making only his eighth appearance for Everton after joining with a hamstring injury following the completion of a season-long loan from Barcelona. It’s fair to say Gomes has been worth the wait. His class and composure stands out like a blue beacon in the brutally demanding Premier League. The summer signing was quite at his superlative best against Watford but he supplied the assist for Everton’s opener, scored by Richarlison, and his distribution and quality on the ball was on a different level to everyone else on the pitch. Gomes is a brilliant player and no wonder the Goodison faithful love him.

Disappointing result for #EFC today. After such a promising derby performance to drop four points at whole against Newcastle and Watford. We lack a top class striker, and Walcott is so frustrating. Andre Gomes though is just brilliant #COYB

Got away with that. Apart from Gomes’ passing, sub par from everyone yet again #EFC

Lucas Digne easily top 5 player on Everton. Gomes, Richarlison, and Digne are three fantastica additions to this club. Need a striker in the window if we truly want to compete for Top 6. #COYB #EFC

Decent game at Goodison so far. Richarlison taking a battering, André Gomes again boosting his stock. Will be a major coup if #EFC manage to sign him permanently.
