We are 100% getting Sean Dyche in.

This was still very much Koemen's team, and will be until we can get players back from injury, get more games under the influence of Unsworth (or whoever comes in) and maybe pick up a good transfer in January.
The idea of playing wingers was Unsworth, as was the "never give up" gritty attitude shown by some in the second half.
In the meantime, it will be interesting to see what he does with the players he is lumbered with.
We need to win games now, no matter how. As much as I like a team that tries, we are in a position now where it doesn't matter how we get the result, just WIN.

We just as well have Unsy than Douche

Must admit, I agree mate, don't want to get back in that scenario where a defeat doesn't matter as much as long as we put in a battling performance.

The other thing is as well, whether Unsworth gets the job or not, he should be judged just as rigorous as Koeman was, can't be any leeway because he's 'one of us'

I think if we play with the same passion as we did tonight against lesser clubs we win.

He's a great mid-table manager, and that's where we'll stay as long as he's our manager.

Problem is though mate, passion doesn't put the ball in the back of the net, and that's where we are struggling.

I know mate, but we've been struggling against so called lesser teams. We were up for it tonight and if he can instil that for the rest of the season we'll be ok. We've got quality but not enough up front. We gave it a real go second half and until we get someone up top it's the next best thing.

Unsy or douchbag?

If it was up to me I'd start games with a front two of Lewin and Niasse.

The travelling fans were brilliant. Amazes me how we don't get that kind of support at Goodison.

It's got to be given to tuchel or someone of his Calibre I hope. And specially if he's said he would welcome an approach unsworth will restore some pride but long term na hes just not it

Right now, maybe not but, as others have said, assistant manager or a managers job elsewhere to get the experience, then he'll be good.
It was an improved performance compared to others this season. Actually attacking a 'top six' side, wouldn't have happened under RK.

Better than nothing which is what we've had for the rest of the season

Valid point mate which is why it's good to see Mirallas get a full 90 and Lennon brought back into the fold. I mentioned Lennon on Sunday saying he would be ideal for Kenny as defensively he knows when to track back. No surprise when it was going tits up for Martinez Lennon was first name on the team sheet. Unsworth wasn't stupid in picking him, he knew what he would get and he got himself into a couple of positions where if he wasn't lacking match sharpness he could and should have had 2 tonight.

I think we have enough up top to get by and score, they just need to be played accordingly and get the confidence going and it will come good.
