• Mostly youngsters playing against men so they deserve a lot of credit for that win and that’s two goals lately from full back Davis who looks like a decent player.Catesby is just back from a long lay off after a serious injury, he was well rated before that injury so hopefully he picks up from where he left off — he looked quality.Pita and Akarakiri are also well rated along with Graham who came on as a late sub- has he been injured lately?...

• Ian (20) Just those five cost us plenty and there was quite a few more. Lookman always had the talent when he was with us but he was a very young lad away from his roots while he was with us, grew up while at Fulham who wanted to keep him and he did well at Leicester on and off including scoring the winner v Liverpool and now the Italian club are benefiting from his time in England.

Sorry mate, but No!You don't change what was working for 70mins, you do that and you're conceding the initiative.You keep on doing...as far as you can, dire circumstances etc excepted...what they couldnt cope with.Keep up the Intensity !(Did I mention Intensity?)...

• Even if Moyes is relying largely on the same group of core players that were at Dyche's disposal, has a touch of class to it, and it is that quality that has come to the fore to propel Everton into the European picture.No team will fancy playing Everton these days. They know that they'll be playing a well organised, never say die team that has some quality.Not to so long ago, we were beaten as soon as we conceded. We now look like a team that can score first and win. Or concede first, and can still take something from the game.More quality is needed for certain. But like the improved financial performance, it is still early days....
