Not making himself available for the ball at all. Standing 5 yards away ball watching and drawing defenders closer. Offers nothing going forward and hasn’t been well positioned at the back.
Silly, as it assumes he was always going to go to ground. Never seen that given when the defender who made the foul was in between he attacker and the goal.
The CB pairing has looked surprisingly solid for United. Easier to look good when you’re playing as deep as United have since they went up, but they’ve dealt well with everything that has come into the box.
I'm pretty excited about seeing a back line of Mina and Zouma. The aerial threat that they present alone will be unlike anything we've seen here since I started watching Everton a decade ago.
I don’t see us playing it unless we’re really going for the throat, but it’s certainly our best attacking XI and Gomes is capable of playing DM, though I’m not sure if he’s ever done it without another DM alongside him.
Before the window:
Pickford
Coleman Keane Jags Baines
Gana Schneiderlin
Walcott Sigurdsson Bolasie
Tosun
After the window:
Pickford
Coleman Mina Zouma (maybe) Digne
Gomes Sigurdsson
Walcott Bernard Richarlison
Tosun
I think we got a little better.
