Genuinely didn't see it coming, we lacked width last week and responded by putting another central player in, however the subtle tweaks made worked and I'm happy to be proved wrong.

I accept your apology mate. Well in.

Lads?

Is right.

I enjoyed that a lot and I'm going to enjoy it again. Koeman didn't achieve as much as Martinez with fewer games and a squad just as good (even after the transfer plundering of the kopites) and I'm glad to upset the Soton love train

Loving Tinkerman putting West 'am in their place here.

I will say that Saints may have sold a player too many with Clyne and Schniderlin leaving.

Unbeaten!!! G'wed

We were boss. I want to see Rom in beast mode more often.

When Ross and Cleverley both missed point blank shots in quick succession, did anyone else think the boys would turtle up and allow a SH comeback? I know I did. But this was a different Everton squad today and the counterattack that set up Rom's 1st set the tone.

Oh and how about our #10? Good first touches, creating space for himself and others, clinical finishing. Feeding Rom in stride instead of standing still/back to the goal makes all the difference. Very happy for this young man.

5 goals in 3 halfs of football. Even Rebecca Lowe is a fan!

Like a boss

Was the last time we won a St Mary's the year Wayne Rooney was on the bench but never played? If so I was at that game! I remember the Everton fans chanting Rooney's name and he had never played a first team game!!!

 

[Jamo Martinez]

good stuff.

We really need Kone to find a burst of form like Jelavic in his first 4 months at the club.

Is that too much to ask?

Thought so.

3-0 to the mighty blues.

Just thought I'd mention this like.

 

[Heathcliff]

MOTD said we had 6 players involved today 22 years old or under. Bodes well.

Savour days like today where we science a side off the pitch. All lab coats and clipboards. You got scienced pal!

10 minute edit things has expired so ill make a new post.

Koemans post match interview was good - we allowed Everton to much space and to do what they do (or words very similar)
Very telling indeed.

 

[Michaelcoyb]

What a perfomance.

I think the lesson today is: Dont fume before a ball is even kicked.

Vaultings were thoroughly deserved.

I've seen Everton live a few times with friendlies in the states. Went to Southampton today (First real match) to watch the blues and man was that amazing! Great performance from our boys today! Am I a good luck charm?? lol
