Ronald Koeman is the focal point of Friday's Everton-related news coverage.
The manager conducted his media duties ahead of Saturday's encounter with Middlesbrough and the Daily Express lead with the Dutchman's willingness to drop any player if standards are not reached.
The Daily Mirror say that Koeman has helped the Toffees 'rediscover their stamina', while Kevin Ratcliffe's latest Liverpool Echo column also highlights the expectations of the boss.
The Echo also feature the plaque unveiling at Finch Farm which honoured two long-serving former Everton scouts, Sid Benson and Bob Pendleton.
