Picked same team Dyche was playing. Similar tactics. Of course Dyche would have swapped Harrison for Lindstrom on 59 minutes, we’d conceded a goal. Dyche would have definitely stood on the sidelines making no further tactical changes/subs until the 83rd minute! Dyche has brought Beto on to play with DCL before.

I agree i am hoping he didnt do it tonight because he didn't have enough training sessions to get it bedded in but its a better option also gets Patterson in the team

I'd bet we start with three or five at the back against Spurs. We looked more comfortable at the end, also many of Villa's chances came after some doubt-able decisions by out CB's. Barring the the head-less Ashley Young pass "towards" Pickford in the first half.
Both Tarkowski and Branthwaite sold us out tonight, multiple times. They drifted forward, which is fine. But noone covered for them. A three at the back might help solve this.
This also moves Ndiaye central, with two wing-backs.
Have been a big critic of Myko', but he had some decent deliveries tonight.
Lindstrøm, Young or Patterson at RWB, also makes more sense with a three at the back, to allow them to help the attack. Personally i'd go for Patterson.
Beto or DCL up front is the big question to me. If Chermiti was available i'd start him just because of his age. That and the other lads have been crap these last months.
I'd go 3-5-2.
O'brien - Tarky - Branthwaite
Lindstrøm/Patterson - Gana - Mangala - Mykolenko
N'diaye
DCL Beto
If he'd go with Patterson, i'd play both Lindstrøm and N'diaye behind a single striker. Would also allow McNeil at LWB and save us some money and go for a midfielder and striker.

Early days. He looks pretty despondent though. Let's hope he perks up soon.
Let's hope that means he'll give the youth a go.
You'd think at this time particularly, when peep's are deciding whether they want a ST or not, to show a glimmer of hope for the future

Can't stand these interviewers, putting words into the manager's mouth with loaded questions.
Here's an example of something similar to many of the questions that get asked by the Everton social media team:
"David, Abdoulaye Doucoure was all-action out there tonight wasn't he? He really looked impressive covering the entire field, getting tackles in and supporting the attack. You've got to be delighted with that."
Instead of:
"David, what did you make of Abdoulaye Doucoure's performance out there tonight?" and letting the manager answer in his own words.
