Sam Allardyce held his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon ahead of the Blues' Premier League clash against Swansea City at Goodison on Monday night.
The Everton manager spoke to the media at USM Finch Farm and key topics included:
- The call for the Blues to be more expansive to build on their defensive improvements - but not to get complacent against "dangerous" Swansea.
- Yannick Bolasie could be considered for squad selection for the visit of the Swans, and will continue his comeback by playing for the Under-23s on Friday night.
- Praise for Wayne Rooney's form, saying the "invaluable forward" has been "everything we wanted" since returning to Everton.
