“Clearly we need more points”.

Koeman, who arrived from Southampton in the summer, was furious with the first half performance but said he had not been anxious by Lukaku’s lack of goals as he is a “great player”. Duncan [Watmore] was a threat.
The Irish international’s cross shot sneaked across goal and although Lukaku got an outstretched boot to it it wasn’t enough to direct it into the net, the ball trickling wide of the post. We had good defending, but the midfield lost too many balls.
Having correctly predicted seven any-time goalscorers over the weekend’s action, their hopes rest with Lukaku. “That reaction came in the second half”. It’s my first hat-trick for the club in the Premier League so I’m delighted.
‘All the other clubs agreed to pay the £6,500 cost for their players, and Lukaku wasn’t happy when Everton told him they wouldn’t pay. Van Aanholt believes they must work on their communication in training in order for Sunderland to stop leaking goals.
“I was really disappointed with our first 45 minutes”, Koeman told Sky Sports. “We didn’t do those simple fundamentals well”.
“I did not have doubts”.
“It’s unbelievable how good he is”.
Lukaku went into Monday’s encounter looking to end a Premier League drought that stretched all the way back to March, and he was asked explain his troubles in front of goal. “It was a great performance”. Despite Wahbi Khazri being called out by his manager for his fitness, he should get his start in the league due to the lack of an attacking players brought in at the end of the transfer window. You have to give Everton credit. Lets concentrate on containing an Everton side who love to keep possession of the ball, frustrate them into making errors and then breaking quickly when our chances arise.
The England international’s form dipped a little in 2014/15 and he once again struggled through last season, but he’s featured regularly thus far for fresh managerial appointment Ronald Koeman.
“We’ve got a whole week to get ourselves ready for Tottenham now”.
“I’m back in business and I want to help my team-mates as much as I can to achieve our objectives”. “That’s a really realistic target”.

“We will be one of the teams who fight for European football”. The players showed the level they can be at and that was in the second half. They are not stupid.
