Good to read you speak Barry up in your comments, he's took a bit of stick on Twitter about his performance, but I thought he looked good against Palace.

Robles deserved a lot of credit, you rightfully gave him it.

Mori is another who is often scrutinized by many of our fans, but I really think both Funes Mori and Robles need to be cut some slack and be made regular first team starters, imo they are both the best we have at what they do.

Mori in particular deserves much more credit and respect from a lot of our supporters. I honestly believe he would get in most Premier League sides, and he should be the main man for us to build around at the back.

It's good of the fa to give us this weekend off, hopefully we can reap the benefits of it a week Tuesday.

I'm also a Mori sceptic since his first "straight to the opposition" clearance.. agreed he had a better game.. but long way to go for him.

With Barkley, Davies and Holgate all doing a great job we must be one of if not "the" club of choice for talented kids..

It's great to see these young lads flourishing for us. There isn't a club in the Premier League that gives more opportunities to young players than us, they might not always end up as regulars for our first eleven but they will be given a chance.

I believe Dortmund have a policy where they look to produce three players every year, one that will get in their squad/team, one that will go on to make a career in the Bundesliga and one that will just have a professional career in football.

Sounds like something we do to a degree. Holgate and Lookman just prove that there are some great potential players out there.

The litmus test for Robles will be when he next drops a clanger and if the faithful allow him some slack.

I can see Barry being dropped for Gana. But the way we're playing he'll have to fight for his place like everyone else.

We had seats (never sat down once) right at the back and the sun could be avoided by using the stands roof structures so had a good view of the whole game.

I don't know why some people are having a pop at Lukaku as I thought he played the target man role exceptionally well. My only criticism would be that he needs to get closer to the keeper in case of spills. It was obvious from the start that their keeper couldn't hold the shots and if Kevin de Bruyne had played for us he would have had a hat trick.

I'd be happy with that team selection in every game but I'm relaxed now that we have Barry's replacement in Schneiderlin and I expect that will happen sooner rather than later!

But my new favourite player is Seamus!! Sixty grand!!!

I only saw the highlights on BBC so it's hard to make good judgements on players. It's nice to read that Davies is maintaining his good form and is helping bring out the best of Ross. Mirallas certainly is a dilemma as one week he can be great and work hard and then go back into his shell and not seem to care as much.

I too fall into the category of scrutinizing Mori too much and always waiting for him to make the mistake that we all like to say "is in him". Lots of defenders make mistakes every week but we tend to only highlight the ones that we want to prove to ourselves "yes he is a liability".

I think he forget this is only his 2nd season and it's a very different style of play between playing in Argentina than in the Premier League. He's only 25 and has 18 caps for his country. Most of time playing at Everton he has been in an ever changing back 4 (or 5) and so it's only lately he's getting a settled run with those around him. I wonder how do Koeman rate him.

It's a pity that great goal chance he had didn't go in as it would have really boosted his confidence. He got 5 goals in 37 games last year but none so far in 19.

However, 60 Grand moves onto 4 goals for the season joint 2nd best with Ross. Hopefully playing a back 3 will lead to more chances for Seamus but I'd like to see Baines getting more shots in as well. I miss his great free-kicks and there is no reason why he doesn't be bombing forward more and getting in more shots.

10 days to our next game v Stoke so hopefully we get at least another player in before then.

Our fortunes seem to have changed for the better since I returned to Cyprus after the Leicester debacle and my mate Ossie has rung to say ToffeeWeb is hearing a lot less of me these days.

But what's there to moan about ?

Phil, how long are you staying in Cyprus?!

In part this must be due to improved fitness levels but also due to stronger characters and enhanced ability to close games out. I didn't think Saturday could get any better until, on the up escalator at Euston, we spied the hordes of London based RS coming down. Boy did we give them some stick!

Just got to quibble with one thing:

"before changing at Highbury & Islington to take the lengthy overground journey to Norwood Junction"

Next time, I'd recommend continuing on the Victoria line to Victoria station and taking a national rail service from there. Much quicker!

The players are finally settling down to what Koeman wants and the results are coming.

The second half of the season should be very interesting indeed. A couple more in and maybe Jags out will see us through til the summer.

If Jags does go I wish him all the best and thank him for 9 years great service – just a pity he never got to raise a trophy as Captain.
