Wonder if Niasse will be pulled before restart.

They usually get a cup of tealol

NO MAHREZ.

Another weirdly lucky break goes our way this season.

Ha, I know, I thought that exact thing when Leicester hit the bar. Niasse's post hit cancelled that out, or will the sad act who created that thing disregard it because it should have been scored.

Looks like Kenny will be straight on for Coleman. And the other two changes I'm expecting at some point are Tosun for Niasse, and Schneiderlin for Davies to see out the win.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

And messed it up!

yes? try to see my post in context with what i replied to though

NO MAHREZ..

This can't be underestimated. It's the kind of thing that breaks football clubs.

However we had to ride our luck to start with and then build into the game. Fingers crossed this is the start of Goodison rocking from now on. Made up for Walcott. Get Tosun on after 60 odd minutes and see what he can do.

West ham. Was at that one!

We're winning 2 nil and looking good. Is it really the time to be moaning?

You are right, COYB

I'm not getting too carried away, this is only the second league game we have played well

Neither am I mate tbh, it’s not just tonight I have always thought on paper we comfortably have the best squad outside the top 6. We get a good left back and a decent manager and things will turn round pretty quickly imh.

 

[Number_25]

9 points to go until we hit the 40 point mark

I'll see your Brett Angel and raise you a Bernie Wright

Not even a Stuart Barlow trumps a Bernie " The Bolt " Wright

Theo Walcott so quick, good finisher and knows when to get into the danger areas......what a waste of money.

Impressive 1st half after a dodgy 20 minutes. Goal settled us and we started to believe. Some neat interplay going on especially Walcott and Siggy. Naisse should have had a couple but his determination makes things happen. Cuco is an accident waiting to happen but also shown some neat touches. Great to see Seamus get at least a half under his belt and has performed very well. Keane has been involved at the back and up front. My greatest disappointment in that half was Davies. Thought a break would have helped him a little.
Got to be totally focussed 2nd half and keep at them rather than sitting back because if they score early I reckon we could implode on the pitch and on here.

Is it too soon to check how many points off Man City we are?

 

[TyphooToffee]

And the woodwork again may it continue

Lucky old Everton eh?

 

[desblue]

Seamus and Walcott sorry

Has scored goals for us and won us points, without which we would be well into the relegation scrap. Granted, he is the most aesthetically pleasing footballer, but he does his job well, which is to score goals.



He will have plenty of time to play. But we need goals right now, and Niasse is the only striker we have had until now that has shown he can score. Tosun will play in every game, but needs to show he can score before he is automatically first choice. He will get half an hour tonight. He is a new player, in a new league, needs time to adapt.

All fair points, i think Tosun has looked better than him from what iv seen. Niasse has just missed two sitters and hasn't contributed any form. He has helped us with a few goals, but he doesnt deserve to be near the side. My view that is, I understand why others would think different.
