Truly superb Everton goals today.

So happy for Kone.

i said he'd be like a new signing for us and It's finally starting to feel like it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant performance. We played it differently and were certainly more direct, but it reminded me a lot of Wolfsburg away last season. Against teams that come on at us, we are superb on the counter.

Howard - 7
Coleman - 7
Stones - 8
Jagielka - 7
Galloway - 7
McCarthy - 7
Barry - 6
Koné - 7
Barkley - 8
Cleverley - 6
Lukaku - 9

Out of order this. They played well ffs.

Minus 9 for lukaku. ??

Right on Dave, just shows we have got the players and the injured ones to recover and be available.

Players back + new signings = very good season in prospect.

VERY GOOD season.

Thought we were the poorer side today

That Howard save with his legs was the turning point for me, once we got that breakaway goal we were in charge despite ceding possession and territory against a good team. He has struggled to get it right in the last 18 months at GP, but RM got his tactics more or less spot on today. Terrific for all the Toffees who made the trip down there today, journey home won't feel so long now.

Barry a 6? He was brilliant today for me.

I have just two questions.
1. What the facking hell was with that kit?
2. Can we play in it every week?
