    Presumably at LB with Neco moving to the right. Don't love that.

    Savona is on the bench so I'm guessing it's tactical rather than fitness related.

    Zinchenko as a defender is a nightmare waiting to happen. Is this because Everton have run out of fast wingers? I am not sure McNeal and Dibling are that slow.

    I hope Moyes doesn't twig that the Ukrainian is fucking terrible at defending and is as slow as munce.

    Fingers crossed he has a good game but fucking hell what a risk!

    Chicago: Wanting to go back to chanting.

    And we're off and running with a handball off Jesus' shoulder.

    What's 'utterly stupid' about a factual accuracy (grammatical-pedant winky thing)?

    This feels like they're going to park the bus for 85 minutes and then win 1-0.

    MGW asleep and fails to track.
    Wank.

    We look completely devoid of ideas when we have the ball.

    Agreed. We just want to put crosses into the box, but with only Jesus and (sometimes) MGW it's hardly a high percentage tactic.

    As Mark on the FF podcast said, we need/needed to come into this game with some different tactics than we had playing them away - and there's no evidence of it yet.

    I don't think that 15 passes to work the ball wide to then try and put a cross in for Jesus to beat Tarkovski to is a great strategy. In fact, I think we can probably try it for the next 3 or 4 days with little likely effect.

    Well, we've finally connected with a cross at the 11th attempt. Poor header though.

    No intensity and just lumping it into the box. Which is pretty pointless when you have a shortish striker up v two big defenders.

    That sounds like what basically everyone said was a bad plan. Presumably Dychey thought that no-one could possibly expect him to do something that stupid, so he is trying to surprise people.

    If we're going to insist on doing it then we could at least use Taiwo, he's got more physical ability and the defence won't know what he's going to do next because he doesn't either. He might accidentally score a goal and Jesus could probably do with the rest.

    65% possession will tend to fuck us up.
