This is too static and very easy to defend.

We need to bring more pace going into the final third.
 
I like Carvalho but I’m not 100% sure he’s on the pitch
He's not a CM. At least not yet. The LCM usually operates in the first phase of ball progression in our system. Our CBs don't trust to give him the ball because they're scared (probably rightly) that he's going to quickly get pressed and lose the physical duel.

All attempts to progress the ball have been through the flanks or through chipped balls.

We're not establishing any of our patterns of play yet.
 
Everton expending a lot energy this half, I don't think they'll keep it up for 90.
 
Very notable again today how little we've been able to get Mo involved. We haven't had much control of the play overall but almost nothing going through Mo.
 
There is no place for a casual sticking out of the foot in the penalty box. His body shape was all wrong. That's not elite defending.

Elite? That's not even basic defending.

He's a fucking shithouse and always seems afraid of going into challenges.
 
That midfield is not working at all.

We're not pressing, no hunger, too much fear, and Salah is drifting to the middle, when he's supposed to be on the right and support Trent, who's out of sorts again.
