Evo facts - true or false?

• At Barrow he played a 3-4-1-2 formation and used the same system at Bolton Wanderers. He changed to a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Bolton going from 20th to third and achieving promotion to League One.ffddfe
• Evatt prefers to play attacking possession-based football, with his Barrow team nicknamed "Barrowcelona" due to the attacking football they played.
• Evatt will sometimes bring on attacking players when winning matches rather than defensive players, preferring to score more goals than defend a lead.
