I didn’t say playing through the middle. I said playing from the back into midfield keeping possession. There was definitely a change in tactics yesterday. When was the time we only had 30% possession in a game?
Whilst I prefer to have a flexible approach sometimes you play through the middle at others you are more direct. The truth is we don't have the players right now to play the laboured possession game we've been trying to play since Martinez really we only veered away from it in periods under Koeman and Big Sam. The Everton style is organised, hard-working, high pressing, high octane intensity and a mixture of football and fast direct attacks, essentially it sounds rather like what Liverpool do, doesn't it?! I think it's easier to play more direct against bigger teams at home but against lower half teams who sit in, we need more. So a mixture is what we need, the playing out from the back high line style doesn't work if you don't have the personnel or confidence to carry it out. Simplifying things in the short term and then rebuilding is what we need to do. In the long term we want a team that has a mix of styles and a manager with a character big enough to handle the job, a winner, with a tactical brain, who can change depending upon the circumstances we need to get Goodison firing, and that means we play some rocking football of our own.

Duncan Ferguson’s timing and tactics are spot-on for Everton win
Duncan Ferguson, Everton’s caretaker manager, wore Howard Kendall’s old watch in their 3-1 victory over Chelsea, and the Scot praised Djibril Sidibé, who played despite being ill
Duncan Ferguson wore a trademark blue sweatband on his left wrist. On his right was an old Armani watch, broken and stuck at 8.15. It was not the sign of a managerial novice forgetting to use a stopwatch but another reminder, not that any more were required after a tumultuous defeat of Chelsea, of how much Everton means to the man in temporary charge.
“It’s Howard Kendall’s watch,” said Ferguson, the adrenaline still flowing an hour after Everton’s 3-1 win. “Lily [Kendall’s widow] came down and gave it to me to put on my wrist and wear it. Lily gave it to my wife this morning. She said she wanted me to wear it on the bench for Howard. I loved him. He was a diamond, wasn’t he? It was very emotional. It doesn’t work but there you go, it’s nice. It’s an amazing feeling. To get the result and you could just feel it in the stadium, couldn’t you? Everyone was so happy, everything went well.”

It may have been measured at 30% but when you were watch it didn't 'look' like 30%
