For personal reasons that was my first match for 2 years. Set off from Gunnislake Cornwall at 4am. Cost me about £200 for me andmy lad to go. Back row in the corner of the upper gladwys. I could see the whole of Goodison rocking and the most perfect view of Tom Davies' goal including the build up. Worth every penny! Every Blue fan was making every tackle and taking every shot and every pass for all of the players. It was genuine joy. I had a Blue from the USA next to me. As Blue as anyone! NBTB . Mirallas is starting to show again. Told you mate. As long as he don't get injured he is getting there! The overall pleasing thing was we played for each other. Robles ran the full length of the pitch to celebrate one goal. Like a cup final. Next week Palace will probably beat us 1 nil in a dour match. but at least we are starting to look like a team again. at times. Consistancy is what is needed now. Over to Mr Koeman. He is the right man ye doubters. of that I am sure!

Mirallas is back to his best and showing his true potential. I knew he had it in him. I just lost patience with him. For that I was wrong.

Glad you got to the game Degsy. You picked a good one. Koeman influence is growing. Defense has improved 10 fold. In half a season. We have the 4th or 5th least goals against. Even with the Chelsea game.

Next season we will be a force to be reckoned with. The window in the summer (Walsh) and Koeman instilling his style and tactics in the players. I expect us to be challenging right at the top.

Agreed mate. I could see signs in Mirallas that he was getting back some weeks ago like I said. To be fair, if they had scored one of their early chances, another result might have developed. but we are starting to look like a team again. Not always pretty. but that suits me. I would rather not be pretty (like a Martinez team or Pep team) . I would rather have a winning mentality and grind some results. and batter other teams when the confidence is there. I think we just found a 50 million player in Tom Davies. He was everywhere and involved in everything. Barkley is starting to battle and tackle too. We must all not expect too much just now. It is still a rebuild project but like I said when you convinced me that Moshiri and Koeman were going to turn our club around, Walsh is the key. We can't keep signing 40 million players. we have to unearth gems from anywhere. Irish Leagues, Wirral Sunday Leagues, Afghanistan. anywwhere. Then leave Mr Koeman to make it gel. I can't believe people last week were calling for his head? This is 1000 times better than Martinez pointless possession football. We had 21% yesterday. 4 shots on target and won 4 nil. Lookman's stats are good. played 4 mins.1 goal! He should average about 24 a game if he continues like that. lol

Lads don't get carried away with one good result. As for Mirallas too inconsistent for my liking and hasn't really done it over the years so should be sold in summer along with 6 or 7 others to make room for youngsters and new additions to squad to make us a real force next season.

You are kidding Mondomac? Sell Mirallas just when he is getting back to his best and popping goals and assists into his game again? Ok let's take your scenario. We sell him for say 15-20 million. Now we have about 120 million available for players. Please provide me with a list of players who want to sign for Everton. Who are available for release from their clubs. Who are within the budget just described and are better than Mirallas. Because I for one don't know any players who fit that crirerea. So once Mirallas is gone and our budget improved, who is goind to provide the goals and assists? Out of the 4 goals yesterday, he provided 2 assists and 1 goal. Against Manchester City. Over to you.

Have to agree with Degsy on Kev, He was in great form down the right with Coleman whne playing under DM. When RM took over his consistency went down the pan alomg with his form and fitness. Under RK he has gradually got his fitness back and starting to get his form back. I don't think he is fully fit but over the last couple of game he is starting to show his true capabilities. Why sell him its unlikely that we will get a better player for the money we will recuperate and if he continues to play like he did yesterday then why would you want to get rid anyway?

16 Jan 2017 11:34:05
Totally with everything you say Degsy. Mondomac no one is getting carried away. If you read my post you would see that I said next season we will be a real force.

Not getting carried away with one result. Albeit against a team that has probably spent 10 times what we have in the last 5 years. Won plenty.

Its more of a combination of the improvement from last season. As I said especially in defense. For reasons outlined above. The overall fantastic direction the club is going in.

If I'm getting carried away by highlighting all the positive things that are happening to our great then to I'm guilty.

I'm listening to plenty of Reds getting jealous with us. That is evidence enough to me that we are heading in the right direction. If I'm getting carried away I apologise.

The trio that came to our club last year Moshiri, Koeman and Walsh imho will bring this club to the next level. When? Who knows? But its in the post.

What has he done over the years? One good game in ten is not good enough. RK is building a team that's his job. He will not tolerate slackers. Imo Mirallas not good enough due to lack of consistency. As for getting 15-20m for him your having a laugh.

16 Jan 2017 12:11:23
sa90 you read my mind on Mirallas. Exactly my opinion on him in regard to the previous 2 managers. I would even add Martinez obviously fell out with him. All too regular he was on the bench. Then about 87mins into the game Martinez would put him on. Very frustrating for Mirallas. He even got sent off for a rash challenge after being on by Martinez with only a couple of mins to go.

No doubting his ability and I agree with what you say about him. I thought that the damage was done by our previous manager. I was impatient. I'm glad Degsy and Mirallas proved me wrong. I hope he kicks on from here.

Mondomac, £15m at least yea. £10m is being touted for Fonte and he is 33. I'm aware his position will tolerate older age but Mirallas isn't 30 yet. So at the very least I would expect £15m.

I totally agree with Degsy on where would we get a player that's better? Extremely difficult to do so. His confidence and overall mental state was battered under Martinez. Not using him and when he did only when a game was over. Martinez also had a similar effect on Distin.

They get paid well yes, but for the good of the team they should be kept with a positive attitude.

Degsy you better bring the young lad to all the home games. A good luck luck charm if you don't and we miss champions league it's your fault:) P. S we should all get carried away we don't get the chance enough. Kev won't be sold Mondo he's definitely in our best squad even with a couple more in. It's pitty we can't play arsenal and city weekly

16 Jan 2017 13:02:31
I agree on all of the points here even Mondomac. One game doesn't make player. However, all of these player are having to learn a new way of playing and the ones that should go are the ones that don't learn or improve. The ones that should stay are the ones looking to put in the work.

Kev was given a number of tasks by Koeman at the start of the season to lose weight. He did it. Koeman then said to him to lose more weight. He did that too.

That is the type of player that we want. Someone who will earn that respect and I am starting to love Kev again. It's up to him now to grab hold of his chance and make that spot his own.

16 Jan 2017 14:24:38
I hope your right NBTB. I'm not on here to put any player down and hope Mirallas plays like he can on a consistent basis. Time will tell. For me the jury is still out on him so we will see now to end of season how he fares. I know one thing RK has shaken up the squad with his comments during the week, fair dues to him, top boss 😎
