Let us have a little look at yesterday's match in numbers. We shall see who played well, which team should have won, and at the goalkeeper's performance.

#EVELEI #LCFC @LCFC @FoxesofLCFC

xG Scoreline for #EVELEI:
This was an extremely interesting match from a tactical perspective. From the xG scoreline, we see @Everton only really created 0.65 of a goal in quality opportunities, whereas @LCFC created 1.15 of a goal in quality opportunities...

xG Scoreline for #EVELEI:
However, it took individual brilliance from Roderiguez to create the only goal for Everton, and it was a very low probability shot, which is why it is not reflected in the xG scoreline. LCFC created a lot of low quality opportunities.

Some Tactics for #EVELEI:
Tactically, this was a battle of an excessively creative #LCFC, and an exceedingly organised defensive low block from #Everton. The aim for #Everton was to crowd out and congest the box, preventing LCFC's ball players from having any joy.

Some Tactics for #EVELEI:
This was very effective from #Everton. The only drawback is that you cannot really break on the turnover - especially because they have 4 centre-backs playing. #Digne was probably their man of the match; he did break on the turnover very well.

Some Tactics for #EVELEI:
#LCFC struggled to break the low block, and their attempts to simply go around it were often met with blocks, a high intensity press, or a reorganised block. It took a little bit of joy in the box and a mistake from Pickford for #LCFC to score.

I predicted it would be Evans sent to deal with DCL, I was wrong, it was Fofana and he did excellent. Youri was a passing genius, Barnes a creative, and Madders was MAD
