He could've spent eons trying to do that for us and never come close to scoring, but of course his one game against us and he has to pull it off.
Interesting tactics too. Everton let us play out from the back then try and press near halfway if it goes short, thats how Baines got the ball before their goal. We're pushing Walker up and slotting Dier in at RB, and using Lamela on the left, to have outlets with pace to try and peg them back a bit. Our CBs have been a bit weak one-on-one today so far too (Verts on Lukaku for their goal springs particularly to mind), hope they sort that out. We're playing well though so I hope we get back into this, we deserve to so far IMO hitting the woodwork twice.
There is a Dembele factor creaping into all this. I'm of the option that with Dembele we win this 2-1 With out its now going to be a hard afternoon and likely to lose this now 2-1
We're massively dominating possession & territory, but we're creating very little in the way of scoring opportunities. You can just see Everton breaking away and scoring another.
They are looking more dangerous on the counter attack We got a bit of luck last week and they were a bit unlucky so fate seems to have evened things up today
The goal our overall play deserves. If we can keep this up as the game goes on, and sharpen up our final passes a bit, then this game is there for us.
We needed to try something different. Everton had been sitting with nine ot ten behind the ball and stifling us.
