Match Thread Everton v Leeds - Preview, Match Report and Motm Poll

[R.Reddington]

Lampard came up against Bielsa's Leeds six times including overcoming them in the play off semi final in 2019 while at Derby. He'll know them inside out which may/hopefully help us on Saturday. ?

Plus he hates them.

We the players currently available for selection I have no idea what formation would work best.

When everyone is available 4-3-3 would be most suited but due to squad depth, injuries and quality I don't know. Our defensive options in particular are grim looking.

The table doesn't lie but the few times I've seen Leeds play this season they've looked pretty good but poor in the final third - but scored 3 away from home in midweek.

I'm hoping we can outscore them and our crowd see the players give their all.

Cut off before saying what other teams are like that.

Can't imagine we're uniquely like that? What fans aren't irate if the team is playing poorly?

I think we're uniquely vicious.

Others probably give their players a grace period.

We had our worst ever home record last season when the fans weren't there.

I think it's overstated.

Spotted the problem yet?

Dele is fantastic ?

More tactical errors IMO.

Slippy G knew the score when Villa turned up. Battle and shut the crowd up after 20mins, you'll get a result.

Can't not be a factor if teams are turning up and taking it into consideration.

Everyone we sell or leaves the club is rubbish too lol

 

[bullybeef]

Let’s hope the fans back the players come hell or high water tomorrow.

We know the opposition will be trying to get the fans to turn on the home players.

Very true

It's honestly appalling this I think, very sad

If Leeds are missing 2-3 key players (Philips, Bamford) then we have NO EXCUSES to not win this game. We have Richarlison and DCL fit, Pickford fit, and a plethora of other international players at our disposal. Yes we're also missing big names, but if you cannot win home games against weakened bottom-half-of-the-table opposition then you deserve to be banished from the division.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Phillips was the main reason they won at Goodison last season. He was the difference between the sides. Well, that and our poor finishing.
