It seems obvious that Porro does not trust Danso in that scenario. There is also no excuse whatsoever for Muani, his cover on the right, to not spot the extra man and be there. He is watching.

Yes, Muani should be back helping out. But Porro has to take care of the back post, whether he trusts Danso or not is no excuse for not doing his job.

Big plus for me was the celebrations for Xavi’s goal. Was insane how EVERYONE ran along the pitch to join in. Was a joy to see. Also, today’s draw felt like points dropped. It’s been a long time since I felt that

The boys care, doesn’t sit well with me this us v the players narrative that’s been building for some time now.
All about the coaching and we dropped an absolute gonad last summer that we might not recover from..

I would say Porro does not need to be drawn into the centre as Danso is covering the player, the other player drops off so VDV doesn't need to worry about him running past. Porro ends up doubling up but ineffectively and ends up leaving the outside man, the attacking aka his man free. I personally prefer my FBs to deal with offensive threats out wide, rather than being dragged inside and then leaving a danger man free and in tons of space. It is he job after all.

I prefer that our defenders don't let someone have a free shot in our box! Or let a cross come in from wide. Our closing down by our midfield when Paulinha is not playing is so poor. Just one of the many issues with the midfield.
 
As culpable as Danso was for the 2nd goal, it’s worth looking at Rutter. Had an age stood on his own on the edge of the box, and we had 3 defenders marking 1 player about 6 yards out.

We could beat Wolves but Leeds are playing really well and Everton defend like well organised Moyes teams always do. We need points at Villa (hopefully concentrating on the EL) and Stamford Bridge (relatively poor form). Madders back is the real positive from today. If he can play a part in those final games we will have someone who can pass between the lines and give us a threat we've lacked all season through the middle. Still a tall order though. Gutted about today.

Also saw it a few times when the camera panned to the dugout. Different players looking nervous, shouting out, encouraging, very motive basically.
 
Couldn't really ask for more from the players. What is really gutting is today's effort a) might not be enough, even if replicated in the final games. B) shows if we had De Zerbi or a coach of similar standard earlier (e.g. instead of Tudor) i think we wouldn't even be in this mess.
