Everton defender Ashley Williams: We all like Koeman

Everton defender Ashley Williams says they must show the same passion against Arsenal as they did in defeat to Lyon.

Williams says the players need to produce for underfire manager Ronald Koeman.

"We all like him and I know myself we really want to try for him because when it gets like this the manager is the one who puts his head out there," said Williams.

“He is under pressure as we all are as players, and we want to deliver good performances and results. Sometimes you try that little bit extra for him and for everyone.

“So long as we fight [against Arsenal] that is the minimum we have to do at the minute. We have been showing fight and especially you can see the response from the crowd.

“That is the kind of thing we have to show them, show ourselves and show everyone really. That is the base line. The fight is the base and if you play well after that perfect."
