The Jury: Everton fans on the Blues' qualification-clinching Europa League win in Athens

TONY SCOTT, WaltonTHERE has been a massive turnaround in performances in our season over the last week or so and it has coincided with the return of Steven Pienaar.Brilliant against Liverpool and outstanding once again in the Greek capital last night, he deserves all the accolades he gets.We were beaten by Liverpool after performing so well but we can't complain one bit because we did exactly the same at Portsmouth.Last night saw our much-admired youth academy come to the fore once again. It witnessed a solid Shane Duffy debut, a superb display from Jose Baxter and an outstanding performance from Seamus Coleman.Everton fans take real pride with all these youngsters coming through and special praise also must go to Tim Cahill and Tony Hibbert who typify our club motto.DAVID WALLBANK, HuytonON a pitch more like a ploughed field in places and persistent rain not helping - this resulted in us losing two more players due to the conditions - we did tremendously well indeed.We also had to use 17-year-old Seamus Coleman and making his Everton debut Shane Duffy. Both did a remarkable job in the terrible conditions.The team played well as a unit and all did their jobs with great confidence.None more than Tim Cahill who did a captain's job. Jo and Pienaar also stood out but there was also a great display from Tony Hibbert who maybe just edged the man-of-the-match for me.The main result is we are through to the knockout stage. Let's hope that all our injured players will be fit by then.I just hope we are able to field a team strong enough for Sunday's game against Tottenham. Although the team did so well in Athens last night, Spurs are going to be a different proposition altogether.
