Only the second half. I am very disappointed with our first 45 minutes. From the beginning it was not the Everton I like to see. We have lost many easy balls. Not too many players at the same level in our possession. We had a few difficulties. The second half, that was what I would see. Good football, good pressure and we had to shoot opportunities to score more goals.
I told the players that I am very angry about our team. I think we had a good defense, that was not the problem. The problem is when we had the ball in midfield, before we lost the ball too often. a good response is required and the reaction took place in the second half. I know that the players know the level they can achieve, and that is the level that we saw in the second half, not the first half.
I have not had doubts about Lukaku. I think the two goals scored by Romelu with Belgium has given a real boost, and it's amazing how it can be. I said that the best answer is always on the ground, and showed the goals tonight. A great performance.
[On the performance Gueye] fantastic. Perhaps it was the key tonight. It is the player with a lot of energy, and the ball is quiet and it takes a long time. It is a major player you need in midfield, and I think it's a great signing for us.
I think that we will be one of the teams to fight for European football. This is a realistic goal, and showed us that in the second half. Players are not stupid, they know what we can do, and that's what we showed in the second half.
