The difference in having someone deeper midfield who can pass the ball forward...

Sig looked better when he had space in behind after Rooney went off. Niasse took his chances well and deserved the MOM award from me. Lots of work to do, Holgate did OK in there, I'd like to see Kenny start and the two up top creates tempo, making runs etc. We need this or we have 5 no 10's standing around not doing anything or making runs, yesterday it was painfully obvious.

I would agree - him not starting just seems odd but he is very effective from the bench.

Apologies for these lengthy ramblings....Watched the game on an iffy feed yesterday,twenty minute highlights today and I have replayed those goals over and over. Niasse's first is still giving me goose bumps! Gotta say though that save from Pickford against Defoe was just as key as the equalizer. Should Defoe have scored there (and he almost always does) I think the failing confidence could not have pulled back a 2 goal deficit and Koeman would be seeing his proverbial arse today.
Their goal was diabolical defending with Holgate showing King the inside track and his own immaturity by diving in off the ball. Looked like Baines slips in his eagerness to get across and tubby lets the ball go between his legs so Pickford sees the trajectory late and cant get down to the corner quick enough, especially after Baines slip has left pickford's left side open too. We really need another CB under 30.
Sigurdsson was 5X more effective after Rooney went off, and Davies just changed everything when he came on. Davies plays box to box and complements siggurdsson whereas Klassen plays too close to him. Kenny looked better than Cuco too. So are they great substitutions or was this bad team selection? I think only Kenny would have been a starter in my eyes even though I voted Davies for MotM - Davies took advantage of tired legs and on the occasions he has been on from the start has failed to be as effective. Kenny just looks a better player than Cuco defending and attacking.
The shape of the team though is just not working and first half yesterday was a prime example.Thinking about us right now it seems we are in transition, players like Baines, Williams, Rooney, Miralas, Lennon are not going to be here for us in 2020. However the core of a very strong team could be - Pickford, Keane, Kenny, Davies, Gana, Schniederlin, Klaasen, Siggurdson(our pirlo) DCL, Lookman, Vlasic, Sandro and they could all be here 3-4 years. We still have Seamus to come back as skipper and we will see if Bolasie returns with the same speed. The youngsters Dowell, Williams, Pennington and Browning may still come good, and perhaps some of the more recent youf purchases. Short term, adding a LB/CB, and 2 more attacking options is desperately needed.

'System doesn't help' - applies to all of the below as well
Pickford - 7 - Huge save that kept us in it.
Martina - 5 - Got forward well but just wasted his crosses. Brainless. Kenny needs to be in - with Martina as back up only, as it should've been.
Holgate - 5 - Looked a bit lost at times and was partly at fault for the goal. Unlucky not to score though. Will improve in that role.
Williams - 6 - Sometimes exposed because of his lack of pace not being able to make up for Holgate's positioning. Looking better though, bit by bit
Baines - 6 - He's really frustrating when he gets forward then goes back. The B'Mouth goal came from him trying to play safe.
Schneiderlin - 6 - Not at his best but he's showing little bits and bats of returning to form I think.
Gueye - 5 - Couldn't really get about like he normally would do.
Rooney - 5 - Shoehorned in on the right this time. Needs telling to play one role and one role only.
Klaassen - 5 - Showed some neat touches and passes early on then quickly faded.
Sigurdsson - 6 - Much improved once he became the only 'no.10' on the pitch.
DCL - 7 - Led the line admirably without much support. Should have done better with early header though, and from Kenny's cross late on.
Davies - 8 - Drove us forward. Gave us energy. Needs to start.
Niasse - 9 - The hero we don't deserve.
Kenny - 8 - Got forward brilliantly and defended equally as well.
Koeman - 4 - Crap, Ronald.
Pickford - 7 - Huge save that kept us in it.
Martina - 5 - Got forward well but just wasted his crosses. Brainless. Kenny needs to be in - with Martina as back up only, as it should've been.

It's either sig or Rooney who plays behind Calvert Lewin not both. Get that in your head koeman.
So either pick the boyhood blue who we got for free on huge wages or the club record signing and stick to it.

The success of these lads (plus Pickford and Keane) is all that's keeping me going at the moment. They're keeping us afloat.
I'm still not certain on Keane
I've seen him make culpable mistakes as much as our other defenders but ppl seem to want to give him a free pass because he's a new signing.

Yes he's received no stick st all for that utterly dire second Chelsea goal

It was my first trip to Goodison this season and in the end it was a boss one 
but a few observations from the game:
- I'm getting concerned that Koeman seems to be persisting with the 2 DM's & 3 number 10's setup and I rolled my eyes into the back of my head when I first saw the starting lineup come out. What he sees in playing Gana & Schneiderlin with the Rooney/Klaassen/Sigurdsson axis of doom in front of them I genuinely don't know. I get that, individually, they're all talented players but it's shoehorning of the highest order and it's simply not working - too many 'cooks' and not enough width & creativity. He must now see that it's not the way we should be approaching games as it changed so quickly when the subs were made that it was almost laughably obvious.
- Sigurdsson was pretty muck for the first 60 minutes but instantly improved when Davies & Niasse came on. For me it just reinforces that he, Rooney & Klaassen just aren't cut out as a three as they can't all be a 'number 10'. Only two of them should be on the field at any one time and that's only when Rooney is playing upfront, otherwise only one of them needs to play in the 'Barkley role'. I'm just concerned that Koeman is gonna keep trying to revert to the three as often as he can this season purely in order to try and justify his spending. For now I'd actually pick Sigurdsson there over the other two - Klaassen needs time and Rooney's head isn't quite there at the moment.
- I like DCL more and more with every game. He's strong, quick, good on the ball and is always keeping himself busy. He deserved a goal and the chance he got to make it 3-1 he probably should've taken, but if he improves in that side of his game he could become a real player for us. I also reckon he could work in a front two with Niasse and I think Koeman agrees, certainly based on his post-match comments, so it'll be interesting to see if he runs with that at some point soon. For now he just needs to keep working hard, the kid has the capacity to be great and his attitude seems right.
- Schneiderlin proved that, for me, he needs Tom Davies on the pitch with him. When it's just him and Gana sitting in the midfield we have absolutely no outlet. The guy is good on the ball, very good at times, but he needs a player like Davies that he can give the ball to and drive forward with. I felt sorry for Gana yesterday as he didn't have a great game and I think it was because he was trying too hard and not much was coming off for him when he tried to bring it out himself. I rate both players very much, but the value of having them both on the pitch at the same time is starting to run down.
- As for Tom Davies himself, I said the other week that he needs to be starting and I think I speak for everyone when I say that it's simply 100% justified at this point. The kid is a class act and is Everton through and through - we need him on the pitch all the time!
- I'm not on Martina's back as much as other people as I do think he's 'ok', but Kenny is simply better and he needs to start playing more in this team. He and Davies were fantastic when they came on and it was really heartwarming to see considering how both have come up the ranks together.
- I thought Holgate struggled at times if I'm being completely honest. Got well and truly minced by King for their goal and him and Defoe just gave him a tough time in general. I've advocated trying him out in that position but he needs to be a lot more commanding if he's going to make it there, but again he's young and the capacity for improvement is certainly there.
- Not much else I can say about Oumar Niasse that others haven't already covered, but now I think Koeman is fully aware that this guy is the one who'll be finding the net for us this season. He's arguably the best 'goalscorer' we have at the club currently and for that reason he needs to be a regular. His attitude & application have been spot on and I've absolutely no doubt that the events of this week have provided him with a considerable dose of confidence to kick start his career here - made up for you Oumar and it's now or never mate!
- Atkinson was woefully bad, like truly awfully bad and I'm not one to slag refs off all that much. The FA really should look into his performance but you just know they won't and that's why he in particular can get anyway with some of the bonkers calls he makes game after game.
- Best player over the 90 mins, for me, was DCL. Niasse, Davies & Kenny (ironically the three subs) also deserve huge praise.

Let not chat wham, shall we? We were poor, yes, but Bournemouth are hardly a 'relegation side' these days.

Great 3 points after we went 1-0 down.....didn't see it coming but glad when t did...... Niasse scored two great goals mom.....but Davies, Kenny, contributed well when they came on.....Morgan got stronger as the match progressed & showed good leadership qualities....we now need to build on this very average performance & gain confidence along the way...
