Losing control since Lavia came off.

Thought Diallo quietly went about his business well in the first half but he's starting to lose the plot.

Why change a fucking winning team! Drop both goalscorers. Bring back out of form Elyounoussi. Leave out our new forward. I'm so pissed off right now. I was starting to feel some confidence again. What was I thinking?

They have Pickford, we have Bazunu. What a difference a quality keeper makes. Not blaming Bazunu for todays goal but he's not making that save.

If we aren't willing to spend the money on a quality striker, we'll be rock bottom all season.

Absolute disaster now. Jones has got our lineup wrong and the first goal was critical. Goodison bouncing now.

We've struggled to defend set-pieces for so long now. So predictable.

Game's going as expected with our front 3. Looking better from a defensive perspective but lacking an outlet at the moment.

That pitch looks as bad as ours.

Really disappointed to see Elyounoussi back in the team. I thought we looked much more fluid in attack without him. He lacks pace and vision for this level. I hoped Orsic would spell the end of starts for him.

Lacking the pace that made us so dangerous on Wednesday.

Well that's not very sporting. Hopefully it has inverse consequences for Everton and riles our players up into a great performance.

Straight red for Felix in the Fulham vs Chelsea game. £11m 6 month loan and he's going to miss the next 3 games 😂 Fulham look a proper team. Real hard working side and will fancy themselves against 10 men now. They were already the better side I think.

Good response to be fair.

Let's hope so.

Missed the Alcaraz announcement before kick-off. Thought he would be part of the "one or two" more. Still, not sure one more signing will be enough. We require both a striker and a defensive midfielder as we shouldn't be counting on Lavia playing every remaining game. I'd prefer a new goalkeeper and an improvement on Larios at full-back cover (especially if Tino is still out long-term) but unlikely I know.

That was actually a good half of football.

JWP appears to be playing a more advanced role.

The whole team seems to dread playing at home. They believe they're going to lose before they even walk out.

I should hope so!

When? Even against Lincoln we had to switch to a back 4. I can see the logic against City but not in any of our other games after the world cup.

He's playing three central midfielders and 2 strikers so our width must be coming from Walker-Peters and Djenepo as wing backs. I'm surmising that we're playing a three centre back system today yeah.
