Curtis did well when coming in between Virg and Ibou to start the moves. He’s not a right back, so expected to have some difficult moments there. Everton targetted that spot many times with direct balls.
At times, Curtis also tries to be too tiday in trying to always play out his way form that position, which is a big risk. It;s ok now and again. But to always try to it will end up with the opposition being like a pack of hyenas to nick the ball, which they did.
When Frimpong came on, Slot decided to play him at right forward, so Curtis continued. Curtis shows that he can play in the deeper role in front of the defence. Should have rotated him and Grav much more this season.
They just showed a short clip from our dressing room; everyone stared and remained silent, and Slot gave a speech in the middle. Afterwards, there was a brief, friendly round of applause. The atmosphere was like we had lost. Tbf
I actually took the time to replay that goal just to watch Pickford, trying to see how he ended up on the ground. In addition to the delight of watching his own player pull him back, there is the arm-waving tantrum sat on his arse as he watches VVD wheel away.
