Special shout out to the Park End for chanting "Is this the Emirates?" to the Arsenal fans when we went 2-1 up and they weren't singing any more lol

No better sound than a rockin' Goodison.

Well that was great.

This is a massive test for Koeman now. He brought in Barkley, Valencia and McCarthy and was richely rewarded with great performances. I don't think Lennon performed amazingly, but he did enough imo to keep his place. I'd probably feel more confident with him on the wing instead of Mirallas / Deulofeu right now, as that pair have proven themselves to be way below the required standard this season.

He surely cannot drop the three of Ross, Valencia and McCarthy after that; that'd send out a horrible message to his players. Mori automatically comes in, and the rest of the side picks himself:

Stekelenburg
Coleman - Williams - Mori - Baines
Lennon - McCarthy - Barkley - Gueye - Valencia
Lukaku​

He has four club logos showing in a 2' by 2' shot. What a crap fan couldn't even get a fifth.

"Everton, who are they?" They're the team who just beat you, mate, that's who.

I think it will be very similar but, I do think Kev will come in.

I like Lennon, and he played very well yesterday, but Kev always turns up in the derby and I think we need to make sure we have that attacking impetus on the pitch to go out and have a right go at them.

That being said I'd have no issues if he started with the same team, Mori in for Jags notwithstanding.

Anyone have an idea where Gareth Barry was yesterday and if/how he will fit in against the RS?

nothing wrong with him, just can't play more than once a week mate.

Worth pointing out the most mobile our midfield has been was him not in it, something to consider for the future....

I'm not Lennon's biggest fan, but I thought he offered more of a threat than either Del or Mirallas have done this season. Mori for Jagielka should be the only change for next Monday when the RS pollute Goodison next week.

Fiiiight and Wiiiiin

 

[KaiserEFC]

Played very well after the first 20 minutes, hopefully a sign of improvement, we need to keep it up though
