Well struck Barkley - in the corner and it was in

Great effort Mirallas!!

Everton looking a bit rusty - another slow start

Greetings from Africa

I did not like the starting line-up and predicted a loss - humble pie for me and congratulations to Koeman and players especially the young guns.

If anybody deserves a goal today it was Davies - well done lad - fine skill !!!!!

LUKAKU DOES WELL AND THEN GETS HIS HAT TRICK IN POOR PASSES.

Lukaku disapoints again with simple pass

At least Barkley is trying very hard defending - great improvement

Mirallas now showing what i have been saying all along - just play him enough and he will produce! Same with Deulefeu.

Yaya is their weak link so far - we seem to be doing fine without a nr 10.

Lukaku will have to work on his fine playing/passing skills

Beautiful goal after great work by Davies and Mirallas.

Our pressing game has improved dramatically

Davies is a little over eager sometimes

Lucky there - just outside box

Barkley looks better on the left wing than in the middle

Nice open game

Correct decision

We should have scored there

We are going to sit back and hold thumbs to survive. the changes will come after their 2nd goal.

I do not like this line-up at all - looks more like a back 6.

Playing a back 3 against a much stronger side than yourself is looking for trouble - they will hit us early then.

Forget a new striker - buy the 5th or 6th best nr 10 in La Liga to get our midfield going!!!

I still believe we need a proper nr 10 to take control of the midfield and link the wings with the striker. Our interplay and creativity in the last 3rd is championship standard. We chop and change far too much in defensive formations and combinations to get a solid defensive system going.

Under pressure Barkley must still convince me on a regular basis as a creative attacking midfielder - he simply does not look like a player with lots of time to execute (the sign of a great player). i think he should play deeper than nr 10 and seriously brush up his defense or try to become a great nr 10 at another club. He won't be soon playing nr 10 for England again, i think.

By the way , who is our spare nr10?
