Lukaku wasn't a risk, a gamble, or an unknown quantity. He wanted the step up from West Brom and Chelsea wanted shut. His signing was no master stroke, and the club made the £28 million available for a striker that had already bagged how many premierleague goals??? As for the current optimism, it was only a matter of weeks ago that even accounts here were questioning the direction and perceived lack of improvements Koeman had failed to materialise. Simply put, with the conman removed and a former world class player installed as manager, the players eventually worked themselves out from under the stink the clown had filled the club with and Koeman has shuttled out the rest. Perhaps the professionalism, the honesty and the pragmatic approach has lifted spirits, cleared heads and focused minds and the club as a whole can move forwards and be free of the scar tissue the former manager inflicted upon us all.

Disappointing, Valdes did great, ref forgot he could use a yellow on players that already had one, and on another day Lukaku and Lookman both score their chances easily. Unfortunate but Robles was there when they had their spell, a point on the road, cest la vie.

Finding the frequency in a new look midfield, he left one side and has come back to another. They're just trying not to step on one anothers toes. If only the forwards would consider that.....

Had and have serious doubts about Robles, it'll take a lot of clean sheets and spectacular saves to exorcise the demons of performances past, seems to have earned the nod from Koeman though so more power to them both.

Nah. If someone was mad enough to have played Cleverly, Niasse, Alcaraz, McGeady, and Kone does that make them successful for being first team players? Par with Koeman and Moyes?

Thankfully not Freudian.

Closest I could pick to Valdes was Robles, apt.

His apologists require reminding that the cost of a successful future is vigilance today. Never again should Everton be allowed to be sullied by such a conman. Keep your forgiveness, I'll carry the reminders on your behalf.

fuck you.

To score today, twice....

I was being ironic and making a point that leads elsewhere. Sar-chasm. Clearly wasn't clear.

I'd have chucked a trenches mention into that, you know, for old times sakes. "weak minded" indeed. Christ!

How French is he?

Jurys out on Holgate, and I'll highlight it for you "Raging successes"

I suppose the problem with being successful is the ability/expectation to maintain that success or dare say improve again.

That reply should have been "make it so Cornish", back at the top of the page, its a surely big shame that McGeady didn't have some Belgian connection, so he could link up with the pillock that signed him on our behalf. As for the Everton fourth in value trading table thing, it's built entirely on what Moyes left us. Besides Lukaku who was already an established prem player, which players did clown-shoes bring in that have been raging successes?

Ron has got it wrong though, he's described clown-shoes as follows "is a really good talker". Sorry Ron, listen to the collosal twats lies for 12 months and get back to me. The support that could spot the raging divot early enough had to swallow his shite for near three years. Dante's eighth circle of hell right there.

A lot of the animosity starts and finishes with clown-shoes, that so many fans/supporters were so happy with the contemptible fraud and in some cases have him still pretending to manage us divided the support to such an extent that matches were toxic before z-cars came on. Coco used his 9 lives up with us and I hope he gets sorely found out again with Belgium. As far as Koeman goes, he's performed a wonder so far in turning the club around from the state it was left to him in, players actually looking like they want to play, forward minded football, and an ability to defend something like conceding matters a lot. With the changes made so far and the players mooted as targets I honestly can't second guess this summer.

Right on. On a parallel note, wheres the forum neo nazi liberal and it's quoting of distressing communications and such like? Perhaps Everton will ban the rodents from the scum and convey to our players that no interviews with that rag will be acceptable, on domestic or international duty.

4-0 to us today, got a feeling a brace for Lukaku and a brace for Barkley. Volley these all over the show blues.....

Tunnel vision. kudos.

Howe sent his troops out second half to move the ball much quicker, and to press the space behind/in between Mori-Baines & Holgate/Coleman, with them probing for width quickly and us not upping the tempo to cut them off they grew into the game and got paid off. We have options on the bench to change the game though now, like different setups as sides cant plan to autosetup against us, that fluidity takes oppositions out of their stride instead of vice versa, and the options on the bench, we can change the game, our nature of play,. fresh legs, tenacity in bucket loads, cover yellow cards (expected Schneiderlin subbed tbh) its no coincidence we finished strongly, we had more legs and they tired as the game stretched. We'll grind a lot of sides down and do our scoring in the final quarter hour. Loving Lookman, seems like hes been here an eternity. I wonder how we'd be doing with Bolasie as an option to mix it in games. Options, fresh legs, varied play, total-football? total-management!

Quite the turn around. Quite the improvements that were going unseen. Quite the keeping of faith. Just over a half season, and a removal of certain players that makes ferguson look timid, some more improved signings and a season with Europa to fight in as well as and we could be on the up. I'll be honest, at this point we are exceeding expectation, I felt the corrosion implemented by clown-shoes was near totally devastating and would take the same three seasons to recover from compared to the three seasons of his nonsense being driven into the side and some of the support. I'm glad to have been proven wrong. There'll be down moments I'm sure but it feels like we are on an upward trajectory, and that so many younger players are getting a go in the process is just icing on the cake. Pleased for all concerned, knew we'd win handsomely, banishes that* chelsea game as well. Sorted.

Close but no cigar.

I never feel more like singing the blues when Everton win and Niasse gives the shite the screws.
