At last Ed 025 a score to stop the doom slayers.
{Ed025's Note - it was only sunderland but yeah GB, lets see what team koeman puts out on the weekend as i thought the young lads did well, or will they be binned for the favourites?..

Not ready to get carried away just yet, however a few goals, even if it is against a substandard team like Sunderland, gives a better feeling around the club and team.
Although we know in our hearts Niassie is no world beater, he will be feeling good this morning and if played at the weekend will be full of confidence; especially after the fantastic reception he got last night.
RK has some difficult decisions to make over the next two days, does he keep to a more youthful and pacier team or go back to playing 3 number 10’s all looking for a forward pass that ends up sideways or backwards.
With DCL and Niassie as out and out forwards, and Lookman or Vlasic, who looked good for an 18 year old, there will be willing runners for the likes of Rooney and Sigurdsson to play balls through and wide. Keep Gueye and Davies for battling and pace in there and we may see the makings of a team.
As far as the back 3/ 4, Kenny didn’t play his natural game, however did enough to be an option, as did Holgate. Jags for me as well as Keane. Williams had a good day as captain, however gives the ball away too much.
Momentum is what we now need over the coming games, as well as the support from the Goodison faithful.
A quick word about the Sunderland supporters last night, you all deserve credit for travelling down to support a team that looks to be playing for a wage slip and not you. I hope they offer you your money back.

Good post chalkie. I don't care who it was against it was a game that we won 3-0. We needed it to break the negative cycle. Hopefully we can kick on and finally get out season under way.

Agree with that mate.

Well very encouraging, but next few games are still must win ones . Agree with Ed it now depends on what side Koeman puts out against Bournemouth. Just hope that he gives Niasse more chances.
{Ed025's Note - im not oumar,s biggest fan mike but im with you he deserves his shot, bournemouth play some nice stuff and it wont be easy but i would like to think this is a game we should win mate..
