Barkley needs benching. Coleman had an improved performance.
Struggled to break down the defence. Definitely an improvement defensively , but against so called bigger and better sides i think we will struggle.

So far wouldn't criticise the defence considering how it's been in passed seasons, and the necessary changes to personnel/system this season. The attack goes flat which allows teams to push up against us and pressure our defence. The Palace midfield had more legs in it which showed throughout and we didn't react, to me like we had reacted vs WBA and Sunderland. Was an option taking Barry off and putting Davies on to advance more than Barry did, or putting Lennon/Mirallas on for Barry? That would make it Gana sitting in on his own to do what he does, with the 4 in front out numbering Palaces midfield, pushing them back and servicing Rom again at home.

The test Bournemouth posed to us was us not given the time to settle and play; appreciate they didn't batter us but they did what they had to and got the 3 points at home. Boro were up and at us and we did what we to do to win; continuing our run. Before last weeks game I'd have accepted a draw to lengthen our run; don't forget during our dark days at Goodison we turned over teams we wouldn't have expected to. Get the point about goal scoring; so far this season we're scoring goals from crosses contesy of Bolasie. Now for us to take a team to the cleaners -which may take time considering this is new Everton following the previous 2 seasons Everton-; we need whoever the attacking 3/striker are to scheme/move/hustleand link up. We'll get the goals by mixing our attack play so the opposition never know what to expect from us. Balls in from wide in the air or drilled in low before or after the full back, pass through the centre high up via 1 pass/through balls, wide men and central attack mid can link up with the striker via one two's to put each other in on goal and then we can shoot outside the box. Probably gone into detail there but it could take time for the attack players to gel, get on the same page to work in sync and mix things. It's on them in games to decide how the game is prevailing to do what's needed. Look at other areas of the pitch that have gelled quicker and we have clever/experienced players there. Up at the other end we need either something similar; we need experience or a talker/mover/pointer - clever player that knits the attack together. We don't have a single player in our entire team who can head a ball convincingly so why bother looking to cross? When defending, the opposition only has to bypass our 2 central defenders and they have midgets in Coleman or Oviedo defending a cross. Put 2 players on Jags and Williams and we're vulnerable.

We could do with another Tim Cahill.
