Howard: Should have done better for Aguero's goal at the near post.
Baines: Decent out-ball at all times and good going forward.
Stones: Looked comfortable coming out of defence with the ball at his feet.
Jagielka: Steady and solid; doesn't look rusty despite two months out.
Alcaraz: Struggled with Aguero's penetrative runs early on; far better after the Argentine went off.
Coleman: Dangerous surging forward, but no end product as yet.
McCarthy: Struggled to impose himself.
Osman: Lots of touches for Osman as he moved the ball around fluidly.
Barkley: Scored an absolute world-class strike from 25 yards.
Naismith: Has been rather ineffectual; closed out by City's midfield.
Lukaku: Showed flashes of brilliances, but nowhere close to the target man Everton needed.

Hart: Beaten soundly for Barkley's strike, but who wouldn't be?
Zabaleta: Has looked good tracking runs and dealing with markers.
Kompany: Made one stellar tackle in the box on Barkley.
Demichelis: Quiet game for the Argentine, but was beaten all ends up by Barkley.
Clichy: Struggled to hold his own against Coleman and Co.
Garcia: A threat from set pieces but vulnerable on the counterattack.
Yaya Toure: Magic in the middle; moving the ball fluidly and smoothly.
Milner: Industrious running as we'd expect. Tidy on the ball.
Nasri: Cut a frustrated figure, wasted good positions by blasting shots over.

Dzeko: Doesn't look remotely interested in playing football.
