That Photo says it all.. Pure Joy!. It’s iconic, a bit like Ritchie with the Blue Flare.

Ohh! For an attacker like Ritchie right now!

Or, would that be asking too much?

But, what a joy to watch those intricate little triangles, in the first half.

The goals were Brilliant all from open play.. no dead Balls

You can see where we are going

the only downside for me, was some defensive errors and I just couldn’t understand why O’Brien was insisting on trying to to take players on, down the right side, When it was so much safer to pass.

He played himself into Danger on a few occasions.

We really do need a proper RB.

Excellent report: very accurate and well written (as usual!)

The 2nd goal really was fun and involved all 4 of our attacking 4 players (including a clever dummy by Beto)

Who knew watching your team could be fun?!

Excellent write-up.

I can't believe how good our attacking third is in such a short space of time.

Dewsbury-Hall is a such a good player. He can do everything. I honestly think he'll be an Everton legend.

Grealish brings out the best in the whole team as well as being brilliant himself.

Ndiaye, well we know how good he is, but with Grealish and KDH he's arguably our best player since Baines. He's flourishing.

Garner was arguably our best player today. With the increase in quality generally he has stepped up. He was in his best position today and he was brilliant but he is also a utility player and a crucial part of the squad. I hope he gets the love.

We have players not even making the team that are good.

I really like McNeil, I like Alcaraz. Harrison is very good as well. Dibling looked okay/good vs Mansfield but I can't lord him yet (but I'm confident he'll be good).

We suddenly have options left, right and centre. From literally no options last season.

The defence needs work but Keane has been excellent so far. Tarks will sort himself out in sure. O'brien has been great but he's starting to not look like he can fill in at RB - but I think will be a formidable ball playing centre back, like Branthwaite.

And the stadium is a paradigm shift for us as well. There might not be a better place to watch a football match (ignoring the fact it's Everton) in the world.

Seriously, what a time to be a blue.

The uptick on "Football IQ" in the team is humongous, especially with the arrival of Jack & KDH.

Now, if only:

1) we get a proper Right Back, so that Jake can be moved centrally and Keane is never to be seen on the pitch again

2) Adam can get up to speed (and Moyes' trust), so that Myko can be kept away from complacency

Brilliant attacking play. and seeing Everton players naturally in synch with other in midfield and attack.

Jack Grealish, is a game changer and has raised the bar.

If the squad can stay injury free, then there are genuine signs of a team that believes in itself getting the consistency to be a top 8 team.

The x2 goals Wolves scored were soft and against other teams, in this Lesgue will get punished.

I'm very pleased and beating Villa, would be massive, and can be done.

Keep this belief up Everton, its great for the Soul.

Excellent Lyndon. When it comes to reporting on Everton matches. You are out there on your own.

I will not disrespect players like jack Harrison, or Abdoulaye Doucourie because they sweated blood for this club and contributed to it's very survival, but what we are witnessing now is the stark contrast in what can be produced by grafters and what can be produced by natural born footballers. Ndiaye is a real find because he is prepared to graft, but unlike so many of his predecessors he is so much happier with the ball than without it. Dewsbury-Hall will hold it. He wants to play the right pass rather than just move it on. Grealish is a complete delight. If there is a man more comfortable with a football at his feet in the EPL, I havent seen him.

Natural footballers play football naturally. Evertonians are now witnessing players do things with a ball that they couldnt do themselves. When was the last time that happened ? and its infectious ! Would Beto have stepped over that ball last season, or would he have swung a boot ?....All this and Dibling still to come.

I don't know if we can finish a lot higher this season or not. I just know its going to be a lot more fun to watch. I think we would all rather see the team football its way into the top half than grind it's way there.

Minuses ? I would have to start with Tarkowski - Again. His decline continues. After the two gilt edged chances he gave away last week. He seemed determined to throw the lead away again yesterday. I said last week that he wouldnt continue to get away with it. He wasnt just caught napping for their first. He was in a coma.The sight of him giving Mykolenko a proper bollocking for sleeping as Wolves scored a second was well

All in all. I'm far happier today than I have been in recent years. The early signs are promising and if any manager is equipped to eradicate daft arsed individual errors It's ours.

Six from nine is a good start but then again it’s what we should expect from the fixtures we had.

It’s great to watch and it’s great to be able to come on to an Everton fan page on a Sunday morning and not have to read endless talk about Liverpool F.C., and alleged corrupt officials.

I actually thought Dewsbury-Hall spurned a couple of really good chances to put Ndiaye in yesterday, but I’m nit-picking.

We still need a right-back unless Patterson is being kept.

some of the stuff we played yesterday was like Barcelona in their pomp, and Wolves chasing shadows. This wasn't just passing for passing's sake, Grealish in particular is lethal. That third goal when he takes the ball on the half turn, and he is away, all done in one movement, and then the dink. Everton get a player like this once every fifty years.

There’s a beautiful photo on the BBC website, of Jack Grealish being mobbed by young Everton Fans.

It put a smile on my face, seeing the Joy on those young faces.
They haven’t been treated to the likes of that in all their young lives. It just puts everything into perspective.

Even reading Lyndon’s stellar report, which I relished.
It brought me way back to my boyhood days, when I used to devour the report in the Papers, after a great win.

Then seeing the pictures of the action, in the Shoot or, Goal magazines the following week.
Just staring at those action photos, like they were almost live.. nothing else back then, only the imagination.

Also, all the positive comments on the thread are a great read.
What a great feeling to be an Evertonian!

It was a joy to witness our attacking play yesterday. I was one who wondered if Grealish would be able to match his fine words with actions on the pitch. He has rendered my doubts totally unfounded. Along with Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye and my man of the match Garner, he led the opposing defenders a merry dance.

It is many years since I saw an Everton attack so obviously in the groove. Even in the Lukaku years we were heavily dependent on the main striker masking a host of deficiencies elsewhere in the team. We still have gaps in the squad but opposing teams will now be wary of our attacking strength. There is no substitute for having a group of top quality players, assured in possession and confident in their ability to take the game to opponents.

The main criticism would be our victory should have been more emphatic. I share Darren’s opinion about Tarkowski who also started last season poorly. We need him to get his act together quickly because he is, for the moment at least, the key organiser at the back. The transformation of our attacking play will be wasted unless we retain the defensive strength on which our survival over the last three seasons has been built.

Finally from my seat near the halfway line on the opposite side of the pitch, I was interested to see Gana leave his seat on the bench to disappear along the tunnel to the dressing room shortly after we conceded the second goal. His substitution two minutes before that goal appeared to take him by surprise. Was he unhappy about being withdrawn with the points not yet completely secured or was he disgusted about the sloppy manner in which we conceded? Or perhaps he simply couldn’t bear to watch the closing stages?

An extremely well written and objective report Lyndon.

I totally agree with your view that we have now acquired a couple of naturally gifted players, Jack Grealish and lliman Ndiaye, who are a delight to watch. It takes me back to the days of Alex Young, Alan Ball et al.

I have to admit that I was rather sceptical about bringing in Jack on loan but I have to take my hat off to him for his superb performances thus far.

I agree that we should also acknowledge the contributions made by the now departed Jack Harrison and Abdoulaye Doucoure in recent years. Along with other hard working, but often criticised players still at the club, including Dwight McNeil, Michael Kean and Beto, without their efforts, I have little doubt we would now be watching Championship football.

I am hoping that the errors made by Tarkowski recently may, in the main, be attributable to him not having fully recovered from last season's hamstring injury. However, if his mistakes in the last couple of matches are simply down to declining form and ability then I feel a replacement will have to be found relatively quickly.

Finally I have to say I am really very pleased that David Moyes is back at the helm as manager. If he is given a reasonable period of time and the necessary financial support, then with both a fair wind and slice of good fortune, I feel we may be able to challenge for a place in the top six relatively soon.

Isn’t it great watching talented footballers do what they do best? Like others I wasn’t sure about the Grealish transfer but I’m totally won over, as Kevin says, that little bit of lift on the pass to KDH to enable him to get that much power on the shot…sublime.
It’s great reading Evertonians being positive too…so Dupont, give Keane a break, he’s been pretty decent this season and last. We know he’s not the best CH in the world but give the guy a break.
