Not a great half of football. Everton have been organised and done well defensively, we’ve looked static so far up front.

He's made some lovely passes and been in the right positions, but crosses are sailing over his head. Not his fault but...
Oh
It's you.
Never mind

We've got Enciso and Fati as back up when required. I'd like to see them used if we don't get a goal by 60 mins. Quite entertaining - end to end stuff.

Form is temporary. Class is permanent.
He'll be fine. Have some patience for a young player.
Hopefully he'll now score in the second half! I wish I knew that had happened behind the scenes. He really doesn't look like the player he did earlier in the season.

Yeah, but it's easier to make adjustments when you aren't on top. Any change will probably improve Everton. It's much harder when you've been dominating. Much more likely to upset the balance.
I really hope you're right.

He's young, he's had some injuries, he's struggling for form. Not sure there is any big conspiracy behind it.
This lot sure know how to kill a game of football. Jesus. I get it though, can't blame them for playing the way they do. Ref needs to keep on top of the timewasting, it was bad in the first half and will only get worse. Two mins was ridiculous considering Welbeck was down for longer than that and they've taken 30 secs over every goal kick and throw.

Think this is the biggest difference in him recently, really getting stuck in and pressing.

I think at least some of it is that other teams have taken notice of him and are making sure to counter him. He's not under the radar anymore. He has to figure out how to deal with the extra attention he's getting from opponents.
I think this happens to a lot of young players.

We need to hold our nerve - we only need one moment. With Encisco or Fati coming on, they could be it.
