Here's how Pool's players (who played the opening 75 minutes) rated:
1. Chris Maxwell - 7/10
Couldn’t have done much about any of the three goals, but distributed well and made a couple of good stops.
2. Ollie Turton - 7/10
Continues to improve under Neil Critchley. Confident and reliable in possession and defended resolutely.
3. Marvin Ekpiteta- 7/10
Harshly penalised for Everton’s soft spot kick. Still looks a little shaky at times but has bags of potential.
4. Michael Nottingham - 7/10
One or two little mistakes aside, as solid as a rock. Dominant in the air and confident in the tackle.
5. James Husband - 7/10
As reliable and as solid as ever on his return to left back. His versatility will prove invaluable this season.
6. Ethan Robson - 8/10
Composed on the ball and ferocious in the tackle. Won the ball back on a number of occasions with some huge challenges.
