Enjoyed it today. Wasnt so much the result(though needed) it was the performance.
All i have to say is
WHERE THE FCK HAVE YOU BEEN ALL SEASON.

Players gave everything for the manager today which is encouraging, they are obviously behind him, and really fought. This is a good team when it wants to be. Only trouble is that they seem to require an incentive to put this level of effort in, which is why we seem to do, or at least look better against bigger teams these days, and then turn off against lower opposition. Away form is poor as well. Do hope the board will see the wisdom in giving the manager time though...

terribly bad..

anuywat back on topic … I thought the evv showed plenty of energy todaty

Yes they did. They looked like a real Everton team, fast tempo, aggresive and passionate. Personally I won't ask for anything more. If my team gives it that every game then I'm a happy man.

Forza Everton.

Biggest thing i noticed today. Players are still playing for him.
Huge thing.

Central midfield was key, Davies and Gomes both brilliant, fast, forward balls rather than slow sideways ones.

Is Damien Rice the most overrated player since Eric Dier?

Massively over rated - had to laugh at Sky sports having some feature on Utd saying they should spend £100 million on him

Iwobi for me, think he made us tick. His movement was superb and he was constantly looking for the ball

Gomes and Walcott were also stand out performances today. Gomes bossed that midfield and I haven’t seen Walcott that fired up in a very long time

His brother Declan even more so.

Got a shot like a cannonball though.

Just got back from the match was my first one at 38 yo. If you don't count being in the corporate bit at Old Trafford. Really good performance and was right on line with the goal for Sigurdsson screamer.

Isn't that the managers job, to motivate the players against the smaller teams. That's what the good managers do. It's easy to be up against the RS, city etc. The teams that win things are usually up for every game

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Same team next week please Mr Silva,maybe you have somehow stumbled on a formation that works for us

Get Zaha and Richarlison either side of Iwobi in the middle and you have a great midfield 3 in attack.
