Good result a brilliant goal by Sigurdsson and is Pickford 2 for 2 on penalty stops or am I thinking of the England game? Anyhoo.
Our defence looks strong and Ashley Williams I would of given man of the match to. Absolutely outstanding last night.
Martina getting more confident in left back. For a freebie that was really good business. The last 5 minutes when we were just passing the ball around I found highly entertaining brilliant possession play and we looked confident doing it.
Sadly I thought there was some negatives. Still lacking the main forward and Lookman looked off again 😣. I'm hoping Lookman just needs the confidence and will just play the game and not over think his opportunity at Everton.

Chelsea next let's stuff them at Stanford Bridge. I still feel we dropped 2 points at City and not just do well to get a point.

Hope that was a touch of sarcasm mowfeet about williams mate. I thought he was awful when put under pressure. He was an accident waiting to happen hence the penalty given away. His tackling and decision making left an awful lot to be desired imo.

{Ed025's Note - i thought he had a decent game jimmy except for a couple of poor decisions, but he does need to cut them out i agree mate..

As i said Ed its when he's put under pressure he let's himself down. He's ok when say its a backs to the wall job when he doesn't have to think heading it away making block tackles and the like. Don't get me wrong i am a Williams fan and i know he can do better as he's proved in the past i just hope he can get back to his best .

{Ed025's Note - its a lack of concentration for me jimmy, he can look very solid like he did last night but i always feel he has a mistake in him which can be very costly mate..

Yeah I thought he had a decent game too. Thought the penalty was very harsh on him.

{Ed025's Note - i thought it was a pen pierre, he was very good but he needs to cut out those silly mistakes mate..

I said Williams was MOM just as he gave the penalty away!

Sig looks like a bargain to me. His goal was what genius players do. I mean players who are a couple of steps above the rest.

Lookman was poor for me and his ball retention is a major problem. I think a loan to a championship club would have been better for him. I still think though as he gets a little older he will be a magnificent player for us.

The MOM in the end for me was Davies. As soon as he came on we took control of the game for the first time. The last 20 minutes or so literally took any momentum out of them and we started to look like A top premier team. There was one chance were we put 30 odd passes together and should have ended with a goal.

If we'd have done that in the city game we'd have 6 points on the board.

Finally, Pickford. Again. Brilliant. Nothing more to say except Big nev might finally have a buddy to join him at the top table in 10 years for Everton goalkeeping legends.

Still undefeated.

Ed025 for me he came back from the summer break in poor shape he had put a few pounds on, although pre season works it off it is not good practice for a seasoned pro that is of his build, he has looked slower and likely to give away needless fouls. You would think with the competition for starts he would be right on his game.

{Ed025's Note - i think hes fit enough wakka its just his decision making that is holding him back for me mate..

before he gave the pen away he got caught with the same foul earlier, let's hope he sorts things as he is a decent centre back.
