"I'm not surprised [of his impact in the Premier League] because he's really that talented and strong", said Koeman told the media ahead of Tuesday's match.
"We need to keep focus, we can not afford these mistakes, especially now in the end [of the season] because it's very important points especially when the table is like it is".
"A little bit more and we will reach the top four I believe". And Mourinho - as he had following the weekend draw with West Brom - singled out a group of players to blame for that lack of potency. In his absence, Jose Mourinho's men have picked up four points from a possible nine.
But ten of those have been draws and Mourinho added: "It is important for confidence not to lose but we need to score goals to win matches".
The Toffees showed nearly no attacking threat up to that point, but were arguably the better team for the remainder of the first half.
"He was in front of me and I was making every decision for him". If we are far from each other or close to each other, there is no news. I still am. We had seven from 18 players aged 22 or under today. "If we speak about that time at Ajax, he knows perfectly how he was when he was 19 and how he is now". We thought we had done enough but couldn't see the game out. "It's a penalty, but one minute before the end, it's always painful".

The Dutch government said: "The United States has given a clear signal that the use of poison gas crosses a line". That is a point of contention with Beijing, which would rather go softly with its volatile neighbor.
"We're obviously giving ourselves the tougher task but we're not giving up".
An eventual equalizer felt inevitable in the match's latter stages, and it came in stoppage time when Ashley Williams clearly handled a United shot as it headed toward Everton's goal.
He also said he felt "more comfortable" facing United at Old Trafford than he had in the game at Anfield on Satuday.
Mourinho added: "I can not compare the way he trains, the way he commits, the focus, the ambition". "They are strong, United, they have individual qualities".
Everton, infinitely better in this game from their rather disappointing performance against Liverpool, had taken the lead in the first half through Phil Jagielka, but a win was snatched away from them at the last. They have a different system.
"But his contribution was good, he improved the team".
