Yep. That bit of quality from Maupay was what we’ve been missing.
Attack is still light- Gordon was very quiet- but the back snd midfield have solidified so there’s a base to build on. 7 pts from 7 is not top form but OTOH if you’d asked me if I’d be happy with 6 goals conceded in the first 7 games but we won’t tell you the points total I’d have grabbed it with both hands. Second clean sheet in a row, especially with Pickford out, I’m good.
Not crazy about the tactics. Pumping crosses with no DCL, 5' 8", Maupay, and Gordon who just is not good in the air and does not get in the end of those, is dumb. Gray (MOTM) Gordon and Maupay are all pacy and clever and Everton were passing well, should have kept it on the floor more.
If you watch this side every week you see progress, not good enough yet but much better.
