Yeah those fullback subs were odd.
Maybe Mikel wanted to stretch the pitch out length-wise? Like, lure Everton's wingers deeper into the final third so they weren't double-marking Saka and Noni (it whoever we played on our wings)? Our wingers could also take advantage of pockets left between their wingers and fullbacks. Seems like an unnecessarily risky move though.
