Nicolas Jackson's mistakes, Mykhailo Mudryk's inconsistency, Raheem Sterling's underperformance, Enzo Fernandez's limited midfield control, and Levi Colwill's defensive vulnerabilities suggest that these players may need to reassess and recalibrate their approach for future games.
Their inclusion in the starting lineup for the upcoming match against Everton could be reconsidered to strengthen the team's overall performance.
