Onana for me. Thought he got through a lot of dirty work.

Gray should have won it but he fucks up so many good positions.

[BedfordBlue]

Gray by a country mile

[Romey 1878]

Onana

[Haiku]

It has to be Gray. Onana deserves a shout out too. Godfrey looked solid. Doucs was the best substitute.

[Shukes]

Going to give credit to Onana. Made a difference on there, made a few mistakes… but never stopped trying. And I love the way he turns and lives forward.

Gray needs a shout, as he was a constant threat.

[c1982]

Gray - constant threat.

Gray just ahead of Onana for me

Same for me, just wish he would have taken a couple of shots when he had the chance.

[Palfy]

Went for Gray in the end, but a big shout for Onana, possibly the best game he's had in an Everton shirt. Also a big shout out to Doucoure.

2 stand outs for me, Gray and Coleman.

Gray's confidence seems to have really risen since scoring that goal v City and he's been our key attacker looking to make things happen.  Ran at them well, looked to make chances and worked tirelessly back and forth as well.  Only frustrating is his final ball/decision in attack is often a bit lacking.  A couple of great opportunities fell away due to a poor pass or decision as he got towards the box.  I saw an opinion after the City goal berating his lack of assists and that his decision was wrong to shoot!  I disagree with that but can see some failings in that final ball that lead him to few assists where as when he decides to have a blast he can get away with a few misses if he bags a beauty every now and then!

Seamus came back into the side after not playing for a good while and put in a brilliant performance both defensively and with no right winger most of the time he seemed to be given a bit more freedom to push forward.  A great run for the disallowed equaliser.

Only blemish for me was getting a bit caught out during their second goal coming across a bit too late but to be honest he was beaten by some quality attacking play and given Patterson's recent defensive issues I doubt he would have done better.

[FairWooney]

Agree with @Palfy actually that Onana was excellent and Doucoure had a good cameo also.

We may need to reject incoming offers for him if Iwobi is out a long time, unless we actually have any incomings!
