In a Premier League relegation dogfight, he knows the nous they’ll provide will be crucial.
The Everton boss added: “It was the first time today I’ve started to feel I’ve got options in terms of the squad.

“We need to keep everyone fit, we’re strong - simple as that - and the boys who came in, we need people who know positionally where to be and they showed that.”
