From a tactical stand point, Barry usually drops in between the 2 CBs as the Full Backs push up, I think that's what Goat means.

Yep.
Ive no main issue with that kind of "3 at the back", but when you play 3 actual CBs, it seems a waste to me.

If Coleman's shot had gone in rather than being saved and Everton had gone on to win, would that have been enough to convince you?
I remember a lot of Moyes subs (shudders & weeps)....must be a club thing.

Which is weird in itself as last season he made a hell of a lot of good subs.
No, cos with a balanced side and Barkley playing instead of Naismith that should have been happening all game.
Are you suggesting we need to play 3 CBs in order to have the 2 most attacking full backs in the league attacking, cos they managed it quite well last season, you know, when we played a balanced formation.

Yeah the problem this season is that he seems to decide before kick off what subs he's gonna make, rather than react to what is transpiring on the pitch.

I agree especially in the premier league, very few teams play more than one striker so for large parts of the game you've got three players marking one player.
I suspect, given the way Besic was straight down the tunnel, he was either ill or needed the toilet and we couldn't afford to be left with 10 men.
Whatever it was, i very much doubt it was tactical.

Dont know if anyone else noticed once Alcaraz came on John Stones immediately stepped up as if into midfield and started carrying the ball forward.
Not sure if this was pre planned but it definitely worked Liverpools midfield couldnt handle him,like to see a bit more of this.

Alcaraz has never played in the championship..he's what you call one of those premiership only type of players..
He's even played at a Wold Cup which maybe slightly below certain some people's opinion of "the premiership" level but certainly above everyone's opinion of "the championship" level.

For one reason or another, Besic came off. But Martinez did make a tactical change too.
With the score still standing at 0-0, Martinez decided to put more emphasis on attack for the last five minutes. He decided to play Coleman and Oviedo as wing backs with three men at the back. That's why he brought on Alcaraz.
And it very nearly worked - as a wing back, Coleman had a great shot at goal.

He's awful and would never have been out of place in the Championship.
