Few on here need to relax
Expecting to see night and day in less than a week is cuckoo stuff
We were definitely more of a threat going forward, both full backs played higher which allowed the wingers to occupy more of the central areas in the final third, and we tried to play through midfield a little more. Angles were a lot better for crosses and through balls and I think that told with the type of chances that we created
Thought we also defended a lot more narrow on the ball too, making them play round the outside. We've been too easy to play through in the centre of the park under Dyche this year, so that's something to watch out for.
We looked wobbly on the transition and couple of very sloppy errors cost us for the goal, otherwise that was an even match that probably warranted an draw.
As for the personnel/subs, don't think we can be too critical - most gaffers would come in and say: right you lot have been the starting XI all year, show me why. I reckon Moyes would've learnt enough tonight to tell him that Young can't be trusted, Harrison offers nothing, and DCL needs to be more clinical. Equally probably looked at Beto and thought this guy is a lump, so I either need to create more chances for Dom that he can't miss, improve his finishing in training or (more likely) replace with someone who knows where the net is.
Otherwise that was a marked improvement imho
