Some big decisions faced Frank Lampard on Saturday before Everton took on Manchester United. Having seen his side crumble at Turf Moor just a few days previously, it was always going to be a monumental task to try and pick them off the floor and go again.
The act of doing that meant that there had to be changes to the starting line-up, that was inevitable. With players returning from suspensions and other absences, there was a lot more for the manager to play with to bolster his starting 11.
But, interestingly, clearly there was a desire for the overall system to stay the same. The West Ham match brought something of a 4-1-4-1 style to Everton, with Mason Holgate sitting in front of the back four as a defensive midfielder, which continued into the Burnley defeat - despite another loss at the London Stadium.
