Get Fab back as the #1 FFS.
Not sure why you say that unless TalkSport are not giving a fair impression of the match. Areola has done okay. 
Arreola played him into no man’s land with nowhere to go,couldn’t turn out and couldn’t go back utterly brainless at that time of the game. It was only the third time Areola had either done that or issued it to a blue shirt though.
Decent save at the end though,could easily have squirmed under him.
Mav played some excellent threaded passes between the lines tonight.
What on earth was that freekick taken by Paqueta in the first half?
In a promising position just outside the Everton box, perfect for a ball in on top of someone's head. Instead, 3 players stand over the ball and simultaneously split 3 ways, with Paqueta running squarely at the defence with the ball at his feet. Everton defence step out, take the ball off him and play it up the pitch. Absolutely baffled by that.
But overall not a bad game and came away with 1 more point than I expected.
Also, didn't hear much of the 'amazing' atmosphere the new Everton stadium is supposed to have compared to LS, was pretty much silent, even when they were leading.

AWB/Bowen one flank and Diouf/Jimmy on the other could give teams plenty to think about.
I think for sure Nuno was given tapes of our games and made the call on JWP, he really offers so little in terms of defensive cover, transitions, pace, or even forward passing - I think he realised if the ball broke to him on the counter the play breaks down. Good to see he felt Potts could do a job as Magassa was struggling, lets hope that's just a part of adjusting to the PL. Also we had Soucek missing, I wonder what he is thinking having watched that.
Diouf and Summerville should be a good combo down that left, I just hope Summerville stays fit and that injury was a freak one.

He was a long time getting up after Pickford clattered him. Thinking back to what that b did to Van Dyke I immediately had my concerns.
He (Pickford) is second only to Bruno Fernandes in terms of PL players that I have an irrational and intense dislike for. Richtea1970 said:

Yep, we both looked at each other and burst out laughing at that!In a promising position just outside the Everton box, perfect for a ball in on top of someone's head.
