Both CB's went to mark Origi at the front post leaving the space behind. Origi has them rattled.
But his positional sense is all over the place and he is a poor striker.. [emoji40]
I don't think that's the problem TBH. Stones is a good footballer and has shown it for much of the season. The problem lately has been that he's still having to play for Everton but his head's at Chelsea already. Playing for a manager who has no clue how to set up a defence doesn't help either.
I have a feeling we might see a halftime Martinez double or treble change and total shift in formation
Why does it have to be either/or?
Don't speak too soon. We haven't really been tested yet, and we haven't been that great, we've grown into the game as much because of Everton's shitness than us being on our game. We've dominated, but Everton have also had acres of space on the break that they've not taken advantage of. Firmino came into it a bit towards the end of the half, but he looked like he was completely muscled out of it for much of the half.
5 goals, 11 assists now in the league - that's 2 goals and 1 assist short of his career highs in the league at Aston Villa in 09/10.
Milners crosses are an absolute dream
We really should be out of sight.
Ask if he can come next Thursday aswell
Firmino and Lucas poor. Origi not great but scored, and that's all I care about.
Milner really good. Lallana played well too.
We surely have to win this now, comfortably

They'll be walking like John Wayne come the end of this match!
But, no, I obviously mean literally in the 2016 dictionary way, which means figuratively. Which isn't confusing or stupid at all.
He's been involved in 21 goals now in all comps.
That's balls. Lucas has been excellent. Firmino has been poor.
18-3 off and 6-0 in shots on target. We've bossed it bar a few hick ups at the back. As usual mind.
Nice first half. Largely in control, bar one or two times they tried to hit us on the break.
Sakho absolutely bossing it today. Lovren has been good too.
As for Lucas, he started poorly, but improved. Having said that, it has to be said that Milner for all his amazing work rate and brilliant crossing is just not a central midfielder. There's a reason why no top manager has ever played him there consistently. His natural inclination is to go wide, and he leaves gaping holes in midfield. It's been no different today, and a better team will really punish us in such situations. But then, those crosses!
Coutinho has played well - dropping deep and trying to make the play.
Lallana - aaargh. His running off the ball is so good, and he gets into enough scoring positions to score 15 a season. Yet his finishing and shoulder strength are absolute cack. A very frustrating player.
Origi I thought has been relatively ordinary today bar the goal. Still feeling the back thing he picked up against Bournemouth?

Yup, and I'm not much of a Lucas fan, but he's had a good game. Sakho too. So far..
That's exactly what I said though - Everton have been utter shite. Bar Sakho's brilliant goal-saving tackle. They are simply not at the races - 70% pass success rate. and 3 shots to our near 20. They are awful. That said though some of our passing in tight spots has been brilliant and that then opens up the whole pitch and is creating numerous attacking moves.
He sees a lot of the ball out there and is always up there, so not too surprising.
Shame he wastes so much of it.
