"I thought this was a vintage Konate performance. Not only did he deliver physically, which we know he can do, but he was in a position to look after his team-mates. When Gabriel Martinelli tried to crudely push Conor Bradley off the pitch at the end, I'm glad Konate stuck up for his team. He got back physically, wasn't a liability and stood up strong."
"The best player on the pitch. People will say: "Oh what about him and him?" But I don't care. If you play football and watch football, you know that Szoboszlai was everywhere. Did the dirty stuff, the horrible stuff, but was one of the best attacking options for Liverpool apart from Jeremie Frimpong. He dictated the play, it was a very good performance."
Caoimhin Kelleher kept a clean sheet against Sunderland, commanded his area and produced a penalty save. Michael Keane scored and defended consistently, showing comfort and leadership for Everton. Ibrahima Konate delivered a dominant, physical defensive display, protected teammates and responded firmly to an on-field confrontation. Max Alleyne impressed against Brighton, remained composed, created a scoring chance and earned managerial trust. Dominik Szoboszlai influenced both attack and defensive work, dictated play across the pitch and provided key attacking options. Joelinton displayed relentless work rate, physical presence and a growing goal threat under Eddie Howe.
