It is early days, but Moyes’ Everton look like they are in a much better position to remedy their attacking woes

The message from a manager is something that defines performances. Slight tweaks and offering players the opportunity to impress was the order of the day. More emphasis on attacking football, while remaining resolute is music to all our ears. A first three points is a small step, but a hugely welcomed one.

Whether it was the Gwladys Street singing the manager’s name, the players pushed high up the field, or the No 9 scoring crucial goals once again, Everton’s old ground was a place transformed in the win against Tottenham Hotspur.
