When you watch the replay of the game tomorrow, you'll swap the ratings for Mina and Coleman -- the bungle was far more Seamus' fault than Yerry's. And Mina's injury apparently occurred on that play, so it's a moment the captain will cringe about for quite a while.

“Maybe it took this to make us realize how precious our club is to us” - along with - “For the first time I can probably ever remember, all the supporters are United” are two fine sentences Paul, and both music to my ears!

Evertonians don't unite very often, but when they do they create an incredible force, and I know this from memory because I'm old enough to remember the mid-eighties, when the despair turned to incredible joy, so quickly.

Tony - 1985 vs QPR to win the league. Stood on my seat in top balcony with my old man (RIP) cos they opened the gates and the whole crowd was bellowing “Hand it over, hand it over, hand it over, Liverpool”. 4 sides of the ground united is song. Was unbelievable. Still brings a tear to my eye.

Everton aren't we.

I already said on Michaels's thread that I think Coleman should have left that to Mina and dropped to cover the potential 2nd ball, but hey, we won.

I haven't seen any updates or reports on the severity, but he had to go off early then that doesn't bode well.

2 more wins and a few favourable results and we could be over the line.

Gutted I couldn't be there yesterday. Big night Wednesday.

The commentator couldn't quite believe it.
One serious note on an otherwise joyous day. This revival of fortune has been solely been galvanised by the fans over the last two weeks who decided to 'take matters into their own hands' with an incredible show of support before and after games.

The clubs hierarchy has remained stony silent.

People won't or shouldn't forget that.

I think that 4 more points should hopefully suffice given the goal difference and Leeds' matches. If we could beat Watford on wednesday then I might start to sleep a bit sounder for the first time in months.

To be fair, 'things was hard' in those early post war years and few working class folks had decent bikes let alone cars ! Fireworks were banned apart for a few mild 'catherine wheels' on the 5th of November and there was certainly no outpouring of emotion from the near 50,000 crowd when we lost our last home game against Villa. Failing to score in our last half dozen games, we went down on goal average on only 32points (2 points for a win ) from 42 games. COYB !

I agree with Sam if we can just get 6 points at least from our next few games we should be confident of staying up.

It would be good to start at Watford if the players arent too tired.

Frank was the unification candidate for the job. He has certainly unified the fans and galvanised the players for a relegation battle. We still need a few more points but it is a considerable relief he has learned lessons from those early away defeats. The team is more compact with every player focused on getting behind the ball. Keeping that approach will be essential until such time we can add more quality to the squad.

I don't know. It's just a thought. But if this is the case, it speaks volumes for Lamapard as a (man) manager.

And then he looked around to the other guys on the practice pitch and said, yo, guys, when you win the ball, pass it to this guy. He will be available.

I'm still buzzing about the defensive effort I saw from Alex. I think in the win over United, or maybe the first Leicester game, he pressured the ball all the way across the backline, left to right. The fullback finally got himself loose and made a 60-yard diagonal pass to the opposite wing. Hair flying in the wind, Iwobi raced all the way back and got back in front of the ball before the winger even had a chance to look up. He did almost the same thing yesterday, and this time got a foot in himself to break up a move.

Frank has made Alex better, and in turn he has made the team better.

Good report, Paul, glad you enjoyed your day and wish I could have been there myself.

I did laugh when you referred to Leicester's Harvey Barnes as Burnley's Ashley Barnes, mainly because Harvey was actually born here in Burnley back in the '90s when his dad, Paul, played for the Clarets. Bit of trivia.

“You've gotta see this and listen to the fans. I've never seen anything like it” I tell her.

“I'm glad it makes you so happy to be a part of this” she tells me.

It's remarkable the feeling this level of support can generate as it reverberates across the world. Absolutely incredible.

Brent (19), I suspect you are right. He seems to have taken the pressure to create off Iwobi. He's not playing him on the wing. He's played him in hard running roles - basically as an advanced centre mid and as a wing back. We're seeing the benefit of his athleticism now. He's keeping things simple also. Long may it continue!

Iwobi was shockingly bad under a succession of managers but has proved to be first class under Lampard. Delph is shaping up to a similar level after a similarly poor few seasons.

Pickford plays in the "lunatics only" position of goalkeeper but appears to have retained the maturity, confidence and outstanding competence he got after Ancelotti dropped him.

Mykolenko - unsurprisingly, given that he'd never played outside Ukraine before - took a few matches to fit in, but is starting to look like a very sound buy and a good replacement for Digne.

As the rest? Frank Lampard brings all the right qualities to get the crowd going - as he has done - has already got several players playing better than ever before for Everton, and I cannot but believe that the dressing room is a much better place than it was a few weeks ago.

Whatever is going on, it seems to be working for now.

On, just one point, I think Paul made up the whole report and wasn't there. He said "[Richarlison] laughed back at the crowd " - Nah! That can't be true!
