I also read a report or blog in one of the newspapers where Ian Ross was supposed to have slagged OFM by stating that he rejected a list of players who according to Ross would have made quite a team.

Bill Kenwright this is your last chance mate - give Roberto the necessary funding so that he can add to the squad, if you can't then get out of the way as we now have a team and a manager who understand what the fans want and we want more of the same next season.

I'd go for Seamus but only just ahead of McCarthy and Mirallas who I thought had his best game for us. He was non stop all game topped off with a quality taken goal.

McCarthy was an animal. Some of his tackles were a throw back to when you COULD tackle.

Seamus was just on another level again though. Every club in Europe are going to be after this lad if he carries on like this. When he is on his game, there's no stopping him.

I thought Clattenberg had a good game too.

We were over the Pacific when it happened. Would have LOVED to be there.

Well done lads.

Good report as ever.

According to Moyes, his Man Utd were the best team and only a couple of dodgy defending errors were the difference between the two sides. Really??? I must have been watching another game or perhaps when you are paid £5M to manage a football team you see it somewhat differently from the rest of us mere mortals.

The pundits on the BBC claim he will be looking for at least nine new players in the summer. Well, we need to issue a "hands off" for any of our players... although, if the price is right, would we let them go? He wants Barkley and Jags and will make another attempt for Baines but I can’t see any of them really wanting to go and play for Man Utd unless it’s for a decent paycheque.

It’s going to be an interesting summer and we need to keep our best players and add to them. With Wellbeck out of favour, does anyone else fancy he could do a job at Everton? Lukaku’s first touch is appalling and, unless he can improve his hold-up play, will he be a target in the summer for a permanent move?

Maybe its just his mentality but he rarely delivered on the big occasion and as such his 12-year Everton career ended up with a truly horrific record against the likes of Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea.

Bobby Martinez is different. Bobby is a very positive person and he uses that to inspire the players into thinking they can beat anyone on their day. And its worked because this season alone we have enjoys wins against Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal. Our only real disappointment against big teams this season has been Liverpool but hopefully Bobby can put that right in the following seasons.

I don’t think Moyes will last long at Man Utd. he just doesn’t have the positive winning mentality required. I do however expect Moyes to rebuild his career and do a really good job at a mid-level Premiership team.

Bobby Martinez meanwhile will continue to build upon the foundations Moyes left him and take Everton to the next level. I think Martinez has it in him to actually win something and after nearly 20 barren years that is something to celebrate.

McCarthy, what a signing. I remember the price raising eye brows, my own included, but what a guy to have in the engine room, and at his age, the youth in our team is something special, him and, Coleman and Barkley, 3 of the young players in the league.

Although not the best technical player, I love Naismith's work rate - didn't think I'd say that in 2014. Big performances from McCarthy, Coleman and Mirallas, whilst Stones had another good un.

Great manager, team performance! MotM for me ...... difficult but shaded by Seamus.

Interesting to watch the Everton player interviews post game. You can clearly sense the difference RM has made

Great work and glad to witness the revitalisation of the Football School of Science

I've never seen so many balls hit long since OFM (aka TGT) graced GP, but just like the Arsenal game, he was spot on and stretched an admittedly poor Utd defence. However what winds me up about the meejah is that it isn't us that's playing well, its because Man Utd (and Arsenal) were poor-so we're not that good just playing piss poor sides.

Hugely satisfying win; MotM? toss a coin, Mirallas, McCarthy, Baines or Coleman.

By the way, the one thing I liked after he missed that sitter was his reaction, he really had a go at himself and carried on trying to be positive and though he missed another good chance he came really close with a shot their keeper did well to stop later on.

Not that long ago I used to think "What the fuck is Naismith doing in an Everton shirt?" Not anymore though! Through Bobby's coaching, SN epitomizes the confidence and belief the players have throughout the squad.

On Wednesday night the balance was just not right and maybe Lukaku would do well to read above! We could well still finish 4th in the drama that is the PL, if not then it's only a matter of time imo. The fact that the game was televised in prime time yesterday done us no harm at all and I have had loads of calls from workmates complimenting the Toffees down here in the smoke!

Brent. Glad you mentioned Alcaraz. To be suddenly thrust into the action after such a long layoff cannot be easy. Let's hope his legs hold up.

Patrick. Where is all this funding coming from? Does BK have a secret stash somewhere? According to economics ace, Matt Traynor, we're not exactly loaded.

Just as an aside, I did politely clap as he came out of the tunnel but I was in the minority where I was. Given all the press speculation I am hearing in the past couple of hours it looks like he may well be on his way out of OT. I think he has a fantastic ability of spotting talent, he just maybe lacks the final cut the get the best out of them. Perhaps he would be better suited to a role as Director of Football somewhere.

No method, random team selection, players bought and played with seemingly no method. Hmm, it was like watching the 'old' Everton in red playing the new Everton in blue. Still, a perfect antidote to those who were decrying the concept of 'filosophy' at the start of the season.

A good three points as there will be an inevitable improvement at OT now that Giggs is in charge.

I'm still waiting for someone to answer my question - if the squad Moyes inherited was so poor and the squad Moyes left was so good, why was the gap so big at the end of last season?

I just hope we have the same manager next season.
