Koeman’s 1st EPL game with Everton ends 1-1 vs Spurs

Kyle Walker exploited this new-found freedom in the 59th minute when he surged down the right and delivered a brilliant cross for Lamela who nodded in from close range. From the “Southampton” in the location of “butterscotch” moved Ronald Koeman, but to help him build a new team must be freshly sports director Walsh, formerly of “Leicester”. “Taffy” cannot beat “spurs” at home in the last three games in a row.

IN this era of breeze-block, corporate stadiums, Goodison Park on opening day is a real throwback.

Everton: (4-3-3) Stekelenburg; Coleman, Funes Mori, Baines; McCarthy, Barkley, Barry; Lennon, Lukaku, Mirallas. Five minutes in and he was on the score-sheet.

Not his best game in a Spurs shirt by any stretch of the imagination. The stalemate can be backed at 9/4, which could be the way to go considering both sides will not want to get their Premier League campaigns off to a defeat. This was his 700th game, and while the legs are creaking, the brain is as sharp as ever. Until Janssen entered the field, their inability to break down defensive-minded teams carried through from last season. It took them half an hour for a decent attack.

Starved of space as a result of Everton’s early goal, which encouraged the Toffees to sit deep all game.

Last seasons Premier League Golden Boot victor hopes to put the images of Tottenham’s title collapse and England’s Euro 2016 failure behind him.

“Two good saves from Maarten Stekelenburg was the reason”.

The England worldwide has made over 340 appearances and netted 33 goals during his nine-year relationship with the club, and now, a new deal displays Ronald Koeman’s faith in the talented left-back, who returned to pre-season early to boost his fitness, and is all ready to help improve Everton’s chances this season.

“The reaction of the crowd and fans was fantastic”.

“Sometimes, like Gerard and Kevin [Mirallas], I like the players but they need to run more, they need to do more”. Being one or two goals up is a completely different situation.

‘The club is doing everything to keep all the players we’d like to keep in the team’. The players need to improve in that.

“They played better, we tried to do our best”, the Italian told Sky Sports. I don’t talk about names.

“It’s a personal satisfaction because it was my target when I signed”, he said. It’s the first game of the season and we had a lot of players involved in the Euros.

After Erik Lamela’s equaliser, Spurs had their chances to win it, however disjointed they looked at times. He changed a lot of things inside the building, and we can see the improvement of the team, and the club. They were very motivated.

But asked about that after the match, Pochettino – who confirmed Spurs’ goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris had come off in the first half due to a hamstring injury that would be properly assessed in the coming days – said he ignored pregame banter.

Also significant was the fact Everton spent much of the rest of the first period in their own half. It is an experience I have got to learn from.

“But we have brought in a couple of really good signings who are going to make a difference this year”.
