Yesterday was the first game at the lane I've enjoyed for a long time. Fair play to Everton, for not using the spoiling tactics of so many other teams.
Davies and Fazio looked like they had actually played football before.
Eriksen has some confidence back.
Chiriches has some "moments" but he wants to make things happen and isn't scrared to have a go. We've needed more of that for so long.
The middle two are just much more dynamic than the dawdlers we've had playing there for 3 years.
And lo and behold, our strikers got in the game more.
More direct passes. Midfielders playing off and going beyond front men. And no fear. We actually looked like we could attack with some threat.
On thing that did scare me was how much possession Everton had in spells. We just needed Kane to sit a bit deeper on Barry at times Smarter work, rather than the knackering ball -chasing.
