Everton’s Playful 10-Word Message to Declan Rice After Arsenal’s Victory Over Ancelotti

David Moyes has successfully guided Everton out of the difficult position they found themselves in under Sean Dyche, overseeing a significant turnaround.

The Toffees are now clear of the relegation zone and showing promising signs of improvement.

Mikel Arteta even referenced Everton following Arsenal’s impressive victory over Real Madrid, acknowledging the Toffees’ strong performance over the weekend.

Everton earned a valuable point at Goodison Park thanks to a determined second-half display.

Declan Rice stole the headlines for Arsenal with two spectacular free-kick goals against Madrid.

In response, Everton took to social media to share their thoughts, cheekily reminding fans that such brilliance isn’t new to them.

Arsenal had previously hinted at experimenting with Rice in a defensive role against Everton, but his midfield prowess once again shone through.

Despite Rice’s heroics, Everton were competitive throughout the match and secured a well-earned draw.

On social media, Everton posted, “Two free kicks in one game? Been there, done that,” accompanied by video clips of Leighton Baines scoring two remarkable free-kicks against West Ham in 2013 at Upton Park.

The comparison between Rice and Baines will spark debate, but both deserve recognition for their excellence in set-piece execution.

Baines, now part of Everton’s coaching staff, continues to impress behind the scenes at Finch Farm, earning praise from young talents like Jake O’Brien.

The club is keen to remind supporters just how exceptional Baines was during his playing days.

Everton’s performance on Saturday showed they are capable of holding their own against top-tier opposition.

However, set-pieces have been a point of criticism from fans, especially following Charlie Adam’s appointment earlier in the year.

Interestingly, Moyes himself has pointed out the need for improvement in Everton’s set-piece routines, suggesting a focus on this area during the upcoming summer.

Although Rice’s free-kicks were a highlight, Everton can take pride in ensuring they weren’t among his victims.

The club’s light-hearted reaction on social media served as a nostalgic reminder of their own set-piece prowess and a subtle nudge that they, too, have had moments of brilliance in that department.
