Interesting line up up with Neto and Podence up front with Jimenez. 3-4-3 with Dendonker alongside Neves.

By the way, you forgot your predictions Sir Halfy.

Interesting is the word. Rare to start a game without Moutinho, he's certainly freshened it up a bit. Should hopefully make us a bit more mobile.

Where we have fallen short in recent games is that Jimenez has been the only player getting into scoring positions. And when that happens the main striker becomes very easy to mark. Hope Podence and Neto cause problems wide but also get into the Everton penalty area to pose a goal threat

Good to see Nuno realising we have a couple of other options to start a game. Hopefully we show positivity from the start today and we can win this

I've seen i said that we have a starting 11 chosen from 12 players and a bench which offers very little. Well I don't agree, that lineup looks exciting to me and the bench looks very strong too.
I don't know if this lineup will work but well done to Nuno for trying something different and nothing negative about that set up.

Wonder how close Neto was to a start last time out before injury?

Podence looks lively

Certainly look sharper and showing more purpose moving the ball forward today

Thank god that winger isn’t on against an inexperienced back 3.

Is he out today?

Podence looking really lively so far today

Traore is on the bench i beleive

----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's coming on at around 60 minutes to rip you a new one

Podence down and screaming in agony.

Yeah he's got 3 broken legs

If Jonny and Podence start to click this could get very interesting. Just not quite reading each other yet.

Deserved lead after a much improved performance.

Jimi on the penalty spot and......................scores

Podence the stand out first half

A first half goal !!!

Shouldn't Digne have got a second yellow for giving away the penalty?

Nah

Deserve to be ahead. Everton haven’t been able to get their forwards in the game at all. Podence the star of that half and we have Traore and Jota to come on and finish them off later

Well deserved lead that. But Ancelotti is bound to change things at ht. Need to keep control of the game for as long as possible then unleash Traore. Really impressed with Podence

At last a bit of movement and lots of attacking.
Amiga was right about Podence, where has he been, he looks a class above.
Credit to Nuno for at last setting the team up with attacking intent.
