The Everton Forum • Re: Jake O'Brien

Think he was the weak point personally, did ok mainly but Diaz created 6 chances from that side and the nearest other player in chance creation was on 1.

He wasn't terrible or all at sea, but I did think he wasn't great last night.

Aye. He’s fast at a tilt, but not so much on the back foot or on the turn. He’s a big unit to get around, though and if they do make space he has long legs and can block well. Needs to use this to his advantage more. Was sometimes isolated with Diaz though, so we could have supported him better.

Mixed bag, but largely positive. Doesn’t always need the extra man in support but against players like Diaz that should be part of our tactics.
