Stones too slow for def mid - can't close quick forwards down quickly enough

Oviedo creative again

Where is Barkley?

Why would Mirallas go down untouched with so much space between ball and nearest WHam player?

Mirallas doing hard work and challenging again

Lennon is a good runner but his delivery is poor

Our left hand side has come alive at last - unlucky yellow that for Mirallas

Great goal Lukaku

good feed by Oviedo

Great distribution by Mirallas and good shot by McCarthy

No we start with back 3

4 - 2 - 3 -1 it seems Stones in place of Barry

Stones ahead of Besic - big gamble

Don't like back 3 against a strong side like West Ham -

My concern with this side is link between backs and forwards -

At least Mirallas gets a start - hope we don't need Deulefeu to scratch this one out of the fire.

Would like to see Del at nr 10 some time

MikeO you have a point there - which might be the true reason - we concede too many if he is playing - even i was disappointed by the stats

maybe he should not play with an attacking right back like Coleman

Now lets look why Deulefeu has become a bench warmer :

1) he has been man of the match 140 times only playing 1163 min this season -

only beaten by Lukaku with 176 times but in 2331 minutes - more than double that of Del

third is world star Barkley with 102 times in 2362 minutes - even more than Lukaku -

fifth is Lennon with 75 times in 772 minutes - much lower strike rate than Del -

2) he has been the player with the most assists 9 this season in 1163 min -

2nd is Barkley with 8 but in 2362 min - more than double that of Del

3rd is Lukaku with 5 in 2331 min

Lennon who is keeping Del out of the team has only 1 assist in 772 min - super creator isn't he

Cleverly chosen ahead of Del lately has 4 assists in 1139 min - half that of Del

Kone has 5 asssts in 1314 min - not as good as Del

There you have it the creative Deulefeu clearly not good enough to start for Everton - hehehe - what a joke

Deulefeu is the new Mirallas it seems - when will we see him starting again ? or even just playing?

Barkley is certainly not running Everton in the second half

Why not give a few other players a run ?

Most goals ever in 1 season for Everton - well done Lukaku

He's took a corner and crossed a routine ball into the box lads, let's not get over excited. It's positive stuff but ffs calm down.

or you can call it two assists in two attempts if you are not biased

Barkley has gone missing a bit

Cleverly is a wannabe winger at best

Miralles is infinitely better than Kone

and Cleverly and Osman etc

Playing with 2 wingers is not that bad hey mr Martinez

Mirallas Mirallas great seeing you proving Martinez wrong - where would we have been with you on board this season ?

Great save Robles

Mirallas is looking for work all over the park
