Credit to Howe for dropping Tonali and Pope.. Shame he's still going with Burn, but at least he's realised Tonali has been ****e.
Tonali has looked shattered to be fair. Fair play for dropping Pope even though they will probably say that he is injured. Burn makes sense given that Everton can be physical.
He's been poor for quite a while, he's overrated and I'm absolutely delighted that Howe hasn't got his head in arse.
I don't suppose you've considered squad rotation, fatigue, injury etc. I don't for one minute think that Howe thought " Tonali's sh!te, I'll drop him "
I'm not I think Tonali is incredibly basic, gets far too much praise, and people have a halo effect going on. He's a good player don't get me wrong, but he's been poor recently and nobody notices.. His stats aren't great either. Miley has an opportunity today and hope he takes it.
I don't mind Burn at CB (especially as he has Thiaw alongside him). It's LB where Burn gets targeted. Elanga really needs to do something today. For his own sake.
