Three Everton questions to emerge from the past seven days include David Moyes' contract

Everton will have mixed feelings about reaching the international break.

On the one hand, Everton are unbeaten in all competitions so far this season, taking nine points from five Premier League games.

On the other, their dismal end to the transfer window means now is a good time to take stock, reset, and try and maintain the early season momentum.

Several of Everton's players are away on international duty, of course, and David Moyes will be desperate for everyone to come back unscathed.

There are still a couple of weeks to negotiate before domestic action returns for Everton.

But that doesn't mean the talking points stop, and Goodison News has looked at three questions to think about from the past seven days.

Where do Everton stand on a new contract for David Moyes?

In reality, this is something that might not get properly addressed until much closer to the end of the season.

Moyes signed a deal until the summer of 2027 when he returned to Everton in January 2025.

Both Moyes and Everton will have to give it some thought in the coming months, and you wonder whether Moyes is waiting to get some sort of asurances on the commitment of the Friedkin Group.

An imminent answer feels unlikely, but as an Everton fan are you wanting Moyes' stay at the Hill Dickinson Stadium to be extended beyond June?

Is Jordan Pickford's England situation a blessing in disguise for Everton?

The external noise surrounding Jordan Pickford can get pretty tiresome from the perspective of Everton supporters.

Toffees supporters have known for some time just how good Pickford is, but for some reason those on the outside often seem to throw shade on him.

The vultures have been out again after Pickford was benched for England's 3-2 Nations League defeat to Spain, with Leeds United's James Trafford given the chance to play.

Trafford is set to face Czechia again on Tuesday, with Pickford slated to face Croatia and the rematch with Czechia.

Is the changing of the guard imminent for Pickford? But also, could the fact Pickford is not playing all four matches a blessing in disguise? It should in theory reduce the risk of him getting injured and causing an issue for Moyes.

Just how good is Everton's start?

This has been a topic of discussion among the Everton media space this week.

The Blue Room posed the question of whether this is the best start since the days of Carlo Ancelotti, while Toffee TV invited questions from supporters about how they rate the start.

Going unbeaten, especially given the context of the transfer window, is obviously impressive and should be celebrated.

At the same time, does there need to an element of realism that there have been three draws in the league, and the Carabao Cup wins were both against Championship teams?

It's not about downplaying achievements, but is it more just a case of keeping a lid on expectations?
