Kevin Mirallas on the mark for Everton FC
THE last half-hour of Saturday’s first half was some of the most sparkling attacking football seen in the whole of David Moyes’ reign.
Jelavic actually needed more than one touch to score, Mirallas looks to be a player – and then some – and if there is a better left side partnership in the Premier League than Pienaar and Baines then I’ve yet to see it.
The most pleasing aspect of the game was that the attacking was not all tippy tappy rubbish played by teams thinking they’re Barcelona when clearly they are light years away. It was direct, fast and most importantly, productive.
I still have a feeling we are a bit soft at the back and hopefully David Moyes will see this and deal with it quickly.
It has been a great start to the season though, under any circumstances.
Keep on keeping on.

WHEN Gaston Ramirez nodded home, it seemed like the bubble had popped for Everton.
Three points were definitely needed after a disappointing loss to Leeds in the week, but we didn’t have to worry for long.
In a 14-minute spell which resulted in three finely crafted goals, Everton forced Southampton into surrender. Coleman showed that Baines is not the only full-back in the club capable of supplying deadly crosses, while Mirallas once again impressed. Jelavic, on his return, was potent.
At the moment, there seems to be no weakness in this Everton side.
So Wigan, beware: Nikica is back on the ‘Jelavic’ road to goals, and if Fellaini, Mirallas, Pienaar and the rest keep supplying him like they have been, it is more than likely that the Croatian’s name will be echoing around the JJB.
