Can't wait to get home now and watch the game then straight on the lash to top off a fine Saturday evening.

Big 3 points today, lads will be full of bean's when city come to Goodison next week and hopefully a signing or 2 this week would really build the momentum

 

[Titus Bramble]

Proper boss that.

Played well on the counter, and took our chances when they came our way. Crisp, quick passing and great defending... Everyone had a good game.

Disappointed with Southampton to be honest, their only tactic seemed to be knock it up to Pelle which our centre halves had under control.

WE'VE GOT A DIAMOND CALLED ROSS BARKLEYYYYYYYY

Really don't like that the front decal is orange and the numbers on the back are white, looks like someone bought jarg lettering and numbers for the back because the Premier League ones are too expensive.

The difference a week makes. from doom and despair last week to two games unbeaten, our striker scoring some great goals and barkley being a top midfielder.

is it too early to be optimistic, especially as we are meant to be signing two more attacking players?

Great to have some optimism mate. Shows you how much Everton affect our weekends/lives that we all spend so much time on here being miserable through the week so it's nice to have a day like today where we are all buzzing

 

[Prevenger17]

Great performance all round. Not to put a dampener on things, but opposition corners are still a worry, aren't they? Who was the lad wearing the Kone suit, he was class!

 

[Nobby Nobbs]

Thank you. He is a fighter and a strong willed man so fingers crossed he can beat it.

The best of luck to you dad mate a friend just been diagnosed and it can be a long process but a positive attitude goes a long way

 

[Berenger]

How long will it take to finally just build a team around Lukaku? When he thinks he's the main man and is full of confidence, he plays like that.

All the top sides have one player who is accommodated because they are brilliant, and Lukaku can be that for us if we want him to be.

Yeah but we can also build around Barry though.

Let's see where we are 10 games in after players have been signed and have had time to bed in before judging whether we are going to finish in the top 3 or the bottom 3.

 

[Abraders]

Our 3rd kit is absolutely mega.

Everton were totally boss.

Kone is our new hero?

 

[bourneblue]

Just back from the game, superb win, Ross Barkley was outstanding, Lukaku back to what he does best score goals. Mention to for Kone formed a very good striking partnership with Rom.
Happy days !!

Think they'll always be a worry tbh, we don't have a lot of height

 

[KevMirallas]

That was friggen brilliant. Can't fault any of them. Barkley, Lukaku, Kone and Jags get special mentions.

We back? We back.
