We rode our luck in the second-half, but winning ugly has been one of things we needed to improve, so a good result.Thought Watkins and especially Mings were poor.
Good for Coutinho to get some minutes in the legs.
Result aside, that was a rotten performance. Two really poor teams. Everton have to be in real danger of going down. Cash shut down Gray really well, Digne was very good. Konsa and Luiz solid. After that, individually and collectively poor. How McGinn lasted 96 mins is a mystery.Martinez 6 - very little to doCash 7 - shut down Gray really well, liked his cynical yellow that McGinn was at fault forKonsa 7 - solid as alwaysMings 5 - so many mistakes and poor decisionsDigne 7 - to be fair, he does look an improvement on TargettLuiz 7 - solid performance in front of back 4Ramsey 6 - some very good moments in first half but quiet in second halfMcGinn 3 - rubbishcoutinho 5 - some nice touches in first half, no impact in secondBuendia 6 - see Countinho but got the goalWatkins 4 - gets into good positions but again wasted pretty much every opportunity. His first touch is rotten.Chucky and Ings hardly got a kick. Hause at least won a few headers. Gerrard was far too slow to make changes and very fortunate not to pay the price.

Some really harsh scores!Mings 5 for keeping a clean sheet.Not McGinn's best game but a 3.That's ridiculous.
