We had a lot of pace and work rate in the side which seems to me the squad Koeman originally wanted to have. If Koeman wants that type of team, he needs to target those kind of players in the transfer window. Hopefully Koeman lines up with something similar against the Reds. Great performance all around
 

I have been listening to Wenger whining all day about the corner from which we scored and his it had come off young Calvert-Lewin.

Which it did to be fair.

But that wasn't the corner we scored from....Jags had a shot from that one and Cech knocked it round the post.

No Wenger....you lost because you couldn't defend two corners.

i hate how nobody in these press rooms really have a go at him and properly laugh in his face. Great manager back in the day but what a moaning little c... of a man he is. Like you say, the goal was about 3 mins after that corner was given. But the thing that i hate about nobody having the balls to tell him how it is, how come throughout his career whenever there's been a controversial moment or a favourable decision for arsenal, it's always "i did not see".

Yet what has happened that has now given him supersonic vision to now see who got the final flick with two jumping for the same header about 80 yards away from him in real time? Give it a rest you miserable old fool, can't wait until he's gone, i can actually go to enjoying arsenal winning the league again then.
 
Amazing what a performance and win like that does for you, I'm still buzzing and upbeat despite being in work. I reckon my productivity is up as well!

Last night reminds you why you're an Evertonian, crowd on top and the players actually putting a shift in. As said this can't be a one off though, we must build on results like this.

has the result sunking for you yet mate?
 

Not only did he take it well, I don't think there's another fullback in the league who would get himself into a position where he would have that chance. To be able to regularly get that far forward and still not get caught out defensively is pretty amazing.

But it's not his achievement alone.

When attacking, the whole team has to play as one unit - and the same applies when defending.
 

This could have been a huge problem for us, let's not gloss over it. Any decent team would have scored one of those chances we had to wrap it up, the fact we could only produce a Barkley pop shot was a little embarrassing. We should have conceded at the end; most other games in that situation we would have, and those chances to score a third would have come back to bite us on the arse. I hope Koeman doesn't let them forget that.
 
Big critic of Coleman, his shooting and crossing is fairly poor..

HOWEVER, was exceptional this game. Defended well, seemed to be keen to link up with Valencia (I feel for Coleman as he's not had someone in front of him who wants to combine for a while), took his goal well.

His career here has been kind of strange. I think he's been either really good or really bad depending on what season you are talking about. I thought he was terrible last year. I swear last year every time he got the ball 3 things would happen. Defender sits back because he can't cross, Coleman takes him on anyway and does the same ol' cut to the left at the top of the box where he'd run into a wall and get dispossed. However this year he's mixed up his game and his timing on runs has been excellent. Though he's still not much of a crosser his runs have made created so much space that even just an OK cross is occasionally causing havoc.
 

Lack of killer instinct towards the end could of cost us, however It was a great moment to see us win and hopefully the players now say this isn't job done but more like this is the job we are expected to do.

If we went out with that fight against teams like Swansea we'd win 5-0.

For me this is now what we should be striving to achieve every game and then raise it even more on big games.

I still think we can go to another level and only give 95%

When we are a few more months into koeman hopefully this is what we see more often.

I will love it if we can get a win on Monday playing like that.
