So another win in a cup match, excellent.
A lot of praise for Munetsi, Tulo and Andre and they deserve it however the stand out player for me was Krejci . He was calm at the back, looked solid and passed the ball effectively. He must start next match.
Has VP stumbled onto a formation that works with a 4 3 3?

Yes the game blossomed for us and I only felt worried when Toti and Agbadou came on.

Biggest lesson, which I hope VP recognises, from the Everton game relates to one of our better players. The most vulnerable we looked in that game was when Joao Gomes came on. Who is telling him to be the first player to press. He was so easily bypassed, and in the Leeds game, it was frightening. It makes it so easy for the opposition to break our lines. Surely VP can see the need for Andre and Gomes to sit and then to press the oppositions midfielders. Gomes was trying to steal the ball from Everton’s back four. I also think VP should be demanding that our two centre midfielders take responsibility for either the left side or the right side of the oppositions midfield. Stats have shown that Gomes is the most easily by-passed midfielder in the Premier League this season. This is not his fault, VP must be telling him to try to win the ball as high up the field as possible, especially at home. Hoping for a more controlled Gomes at Tottenham.

Wolfthistle - good post!
And not to be booked so regularly especially for really stupid fouls!
