I can understand, but given our injury situation I don't think it was a bad team. Obviously when you remove your first choice centre back pairing and goalkeeper you are risking it granted, but the midfield was about as strong as we could muster, Patterson played, we had our best available forward. Holgate started as first choice this season and looked OK until he got injured, Mina was our best defender at the club until recently. It was probably worth a look at Vinagre. Begovic hadn't let anyone down in the games he played before.
So while Frank has to take some blame it's not like he picked the under 21's, so I feel your being a tad harsh. It's just another one of those Everton that moments where a team gets a massive slice of luck and without Coady, Tarks, Onana and Gana we are the same team as last year that has a brittle core and once they score, they score again.
It's another lesson for Frank and Thelwell that hopefully means the last we see of Keane, Holgate, Mina and Davies and if any sort of decent bid comes in for Gordon he can go too.
