Unchanged side including Robles. And West Brom have not had a shot on target in 3 of their last 4 matches. Let's see, eh?

Aaron Lennon started the match like his pubic hair was on fire, easily beating the full back. Everton start on top so naturally, we concede first, with Robles repaying the faith shown in him in a 'unique' way.

Everton have now conceded more goals at home than any other team in the top 5 leagues in Europe. Anyone remember how to defend again? Anyone? Here's a random picture for no reason whatsoever;

WBA seem to be experts at time wasting but mostly that just makes Goodison angry. Angry Goodison is usually good for results. Funes Mori, Lennon, Cleverley and Barkley successively go close but how Everton stay behind is a mystery, unless you understand Sod's law in which case I'm sure it's clear.

Lukaku finishes a quiet half for him with an effort but at half time Everton are inexplicably behind, left to rue the fact it should be 4-1.

No initial changes upon commencing the second half and it's still all Everton. When the first change rolls around it's Kone on - and on the evidence here, I'll say good on him from returning from an awful injury, but there ain't no way he's good enough for Everton.

Massively frustrating day. Fume away.

Lennon was by far the best player and should not have left the pitch.

Substitutions cost us again, that was crying out for some pace and direct running down our left, Mirallas and Deulofeu should have came on for Cleverley and McCarthy after the hour mark.

Lukaku also shouldn't have stayed on today.
 
Good first half, apart from switching off for their goal, but we lost confidence in the second half. Lennon MOTM, particularly in the first 45 mins he was causing Chester all sorts of problems.

Barry was good as was Ross apart from his finishing.

Rom had unusually poor game.
 

Terrible subs, its 2016 and osmans still coming on, Kone as well when kevs on the bench. We were playing well til then
