Jurgen Klopp may have received plenty of headlines for serially hugging his players following the clubs 2-1 win over Chelsea last Friday, but the other side of Liverpool have fared even better than the jovial German.Everton supporters, and perhaps some players, will want to hug manager Ronald Koeman with his side off to their best top-flight start in club history. The Toffees (4-1-0) aim to keep their run of positive form going when they travel to Vitality Stadium to face Bournemouth on Saturday.Things looked bleak at Goodison Park at the tail end of last season when the club sacked manager Roberto Martinez with one match remaining. Koeman, though, has been an exceptional hire thus far, injecting some life and enthusiasm into the side. Star striker Romelu Lukaku was said to be wanting a move back to former club Chelsea, but the Belgian international has been an inspiration with four goals, including a devastating 11-minute hat trick in a 3-0 thumping of Sunderland.Lukaku inked his name on the score sheet again last week along with Gareth Barry and Seamus Coleman as Everton collected another three points with a comfortable 3-1 result over Middlesbrough. But the Toffees face their first bit of adversity after falling to Norwich City, 2-0 on Tuesday in the third round of the EFL Cup. The Canaries managed only two shots on target, but scored with both attempts.While certainly disappointed with the result, Koeman praised his teams effort.Of course Im not happy about the final result because in Cup football you dont get a second chance, the Dutchman said. But I cant criticise my players because they did everything to score the goal.We had enough chances to score the goal but we did not. You can make it difficult, but football is about scoring goals.Koeman also emphasized his club will kick on and prepare for their Premier League clash against Bournemouth (1-1-3).I dont organise parties after 13 points from five games or have gripes after (losing in the EFL Cup), he said. Its football and we have to accept it.Eddie Howes Cherries are hoping for a better performance after suffering a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City last week. Bournemouth struggled from the outset against City as it took only 15 minutes for Kevin De Bruyne to open the scoring, while Kelechi Iheanacho, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan all followed with goals to complete the rout.Adding to the struggles was Tuesday nights 3-2 defeat to Preston North End -- which eliminated Bournemouth from the EFL Cup. Howe didnt mince words when asked for his post-match assessment.I think I have to apologise to the supporters, he told BBC Radio.I cant recall saying that in my second time here, but we didnt do the things required for the money it costs and time it takes for our supporters. Ill do everything in my power to put that right. Cory Spangenberg Jersey .
