You're right. A Mori and Williams centre back partnership lacks so much pace. If he can stay fit after his injury, I'd love Pennington to be given a chance again this season. Nailed on we will be in for Keane come the summer.
A back three hides Williams and Mori, deficiencies it also helps Coleman, the two center halves will have to be addressed for next season
 
Just a word about Ross Barclay, I have never been over excited about him, made too many mistakes, however, yesterday was another Barcley.
He has lost weight, he is fitter than he has ever been.
The introduction of younger players and their success has lifted a great weight lifted off his shoulders, Martinez praised him too high when it was evident he was playing badly, I now think this was detrimental to him and the team. Koeman, on the other hand, has given him tough love and Ross knows he has to be an all round player just to keep his place.
The Ross of yesterday can become what we all hoped he would for Everton,

I'm happy that we had that little wobble and conceded three.

Koeman will probably be going absolutely beserk at them in training for nearly throwing that game.

Hopefully the defence will have a big kick up the arse for Middlesbrough.

Boro are the league's lowest scorers, let's not let them start against us.
 
Barkley not Barclay you can Bank on that in the future.

Just a point of interest:
Kenneth Williams (of Infamy & Ooh Matron fame) often refers to "having a Barclays" in his diaries.

Other than that, perhaps it's Ross's longer hair that is making him play better ... like Samson (not Kenny)
 

Very uplifting performance overall, Rom clearly MotM, but Barkley, McCarthy and Schneiderlin all really stood out to me.

Only players who werent impressive for me were Williams and Barry. I thought the swap of Barry for Holgate should have happened 10 minutes sooner.
