A soggy, scrappy night at Goodison gives us another data point on Carrick’s United: not fluent or fun this time but reliably hard to beat and capable of nicking games with one proper bit of quality. We break down a first half of little rhythm, the earlier Šeško change, and the Cunha–Mbuemo–Šeško move that decided it.

We also talk goalkeeping: Lammens’ calm under Everton’s corner barrage, and what it changes when you actually trust the bloke behind you. Also: selection rigidity, the table shaping up nicely, Liverpool’s jammy win, Spurs’ relegation nerves and a look ahead to Palace on Sunday
