TBH we played well for 20 minutes of the game and scored THREE - we got an early goal - everything we have not been able to do lately - but for 70 minutes we were gash the gap in midfield was alarming - but a win is a win , but we have to sort that debacle of a performance out today - TH made some great saves but his throws out were awful!

I thought we were quite awful at times defending etc and would not have disagreed if swansea had got a draw overall,everton made me a nervous wreck and when we went 3-1 up,i felt as though we were trying to conceed a 2nd,thankfully it happened so late as it did,last week we got a deserved win despite the press etc saying cardiff were unlucky,today i thought swansea were very good.a super win today and keeps our run going.

.....lots of 'ifs' there. All we can do is keep winning. Its an unlikely scenario that we finish top4, but this manager has put us in a position where it is possible. I think that's some achievement in his first season.

They may not finish in the order they are in now but I think it's pretty safe to say the top 4 now will finish in the top 4. We shouldn't get our hopes up that we will be playing in the CL next season, we should just be glad that we have achieved more than anyone thought we would.

Mind you, it would be nice to finish 4th, ring up talkSPORT, be put through to Adrian Durham, mention his comments when Bob got the job and then play this to him..

Exactly. We tried to make our life harder at time.

...agree. I doubt most are getting their hopes up, but we are leading the chasing pack with a furlong to go and now and then one either runs out of steam or falls at the last. We just need to hang in there, but we can't really afford any slips if there's any chance of it happening.

Mirallas and Lukaku doing a dance.

Ffs.

Thank Christ for that.

Swansea probably were the best side to come to Goodison this season.

Just happy with the 3 points

Cue Fulham to beat us 1-0 now

3 points is 3 points but we definitely need to up our performance levels in the coming weeks.

I was saying to my mate last week that a draw in the Spurs Arsenal game was the result we wanted. We'd be looking strong if that's been the case, although it was a food swing in the goal difference today too.

Yeah i was thinking that Howard tries to throw it out a bit too quickly at times

 

[Mrk]

We were poor and we have been for a while, but also long as we win I'm not arsed.

 

[Furey1878]

We won without playing well, speaks volumes about the quality of our side.

That said, we need a good kick up the @rse.

...wonder if Barkley could really add a string to his bow if he works on his heading. He's a big strong lad with that upper body physique that holds defenders off in the air. He nearly scored one from a corner last week. I'm sure coaches are noticing this.
