The Official Everton thread...
Discussion
I went to this one - my three sons are Boro fans. Really it was a very comfortable win - I have never in all my life watched an Everton side play with such control. Funes Mori was OK against a limited Boro attack but not sure he is the best against stronger Premiership forwards and his distribution was not as good as Stones.
I personally didn't think Lukaku had the best of games; his goal was good but his ball control was not the best. Stones looks like he has been playing in that position for 10 years - never flustered with almost faultless distribution. I made Barkley man of the match - everything goes through him.
If we can hang on to Stones Barkley and Delofeu and add to it we really could make some progress over the next couple of years after 12 seasons of being mostly consistent but not quite there. We need another quality centre back, a replacement for an ageing Barry and, I would suggest, an upgrade of the likes of Naismith and Lennon.

Forgot to post this from last week, filmed at The Queens Park Pub, where we all go before the game, great atmosphere and true respect to Speedo Mick & Mad Clive, no idea how they lasted as it was fecking Baltic, but they did
