He was all over the place when they came back into it with two goals. May well need replacing for next season.

And Williams is a bit of a liability.

Pay him what he's worth. Why wouldn't he stay?

The way he has been playing these games shows he hasn't given up yet on being a diamond! Kudos to Koeman for driving him hard, without giving up on him (a la Deulofeu)..

Keep it up, fella! Still a long way to go yet!

Everton fans are simply the best and deserve this change in fortune. The sleeping giant that was Everton is awake and flexing its muscles and the future looks good. I expect a lot of torture on the way but it wouldn't be Everton without.

Agreed, Williams has proven to be somewhat less than hoped... although watching him gallop off on the wing was a great moment.

And it may seem strange after yesterday's Bournemouth defensive debacle, but I continue to rate Steve Cook as a summer acquisition and possible Williams replacement. I didn't think he was culpable for any of our six goals, and he certainly can't be blamed for the buffoonery around him. I know Koeman would prefer Van Dijk or Keane, but they may not be "gettable".

The wife's away, I've been drunk since about 19:30 yesterday. More of this please, blues!

Initially it could just have been a desire not to tread on Jag's toes but, even without our captain in the side, Williams isn't leading anyone. Add to that the fact his defending hasn't been great; some badly mistimed lunges going in against Bournemouth as they have been all season really.

If you not sure if someone is American or Canadian just ask them to say a word like "out" or "about". A Canadian will say "ute" or" abute" and then usually add "eh" at end of every other sentence.

I think also our Canadian friends pronounce house, 'hoose'.

I agree about Williams; not impressed with him at all.

On the matter of Williams; like a lot of Blues, I was chuffed when we signed him for all the reasons mentioned above. Yes, he has been disappointing overall but to be honest, watching the game on Saturday it occurs to me that Funes Mori is the real problem. He gets out of position so often up the pitch and that must be a nightmare for the bloke partnering him. If Jags is fit then, in my opinion, he should play in the game against Boro'.

As for Funes Mori, I thought he would Mature into a rock-solid defender, genre Vincent Kompany, circa, 2009-14. He seems to be struggling, doesn't look comfortable on the ball, and often appears to be quite 'donkey-ish'.

Mr Ed – is it worth a separate thread for voting Player of the Month?

He keeps playing so deep, we end up having to hoof it up to Rom just to get out of our own box. I am beginning to think Robles and him are "close friends" as he seems determined to play as close as possible to his own goal... :P

Perhaps he is under instructions not to, but he has lost a yard of pace when the best practitioners at wing back these days are flying down the flanks. Coleman manages to do it on the right, and many of our goals stem from his efforts. So 7 is very generous.

Tom's well ahead, mate! Now how may times can I vote using some aliases????

I tend to partly agree with your

"This hoof ball from the likes of Williams is not helped by Ronald's insistence on having EVERYONE back for corners and deep free kicks, even when cruising 3-0 at home."

But in my view that tactic has been part of our DNA for years – Moyes did it throughout his tenure, and I think but am not so sure that the Smith/Knox regime did it before him. Leaving a couple of pacey players up near the half-way line would cause the opposition to keep at least 3 back.

I also don't understand why having so many back, we don't defend the back post.

Doesn't really make much sense to me as there is no outlay; but what do I know?

● We're only in 1 competition meaning the lads get plenty of rest in comparison to most teams... ie. more depth needed.

● We need a much better defence and leadership in there. Time to invest big.

● Enjoy Rom while we can – but others need to chip in with more goals.. especially from midfield and set pieces.

● We need to be able to manage different systems and not just rely on fast breaks as many teams will just drop back and wall us out.

● Team spirit and confidence is vital (sorry for stating the obvious) – that tends to keep the best players loyal a bit longer.

● Continue to trust youth and you will be rewarded. Nice mix we got now of energy, motivation and experience.

At 6'-)" he's always struggled against players good in the air. He is now slow and heavy and has difficulty coping with fast and tricky players.

He tries to make up for lack of height by placing his hands over the opposing player's shoulders, thereby preventing the opponent from getting off the ground. It's a tactic that frequently draws a foul in the opposition's penalty box when he's attacking but which in our own box, so far, fortunately, hasn't resulted in a penalty being awarded against us.

For all his faults and perceived "decline", Jags is a much better all round defender, in my opinion.

I agree, Coleman not at his best, but forgiven as he has been inspirational recently.
