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

[MACCA75]

Patterson, Holgate, Branthwaite and Mykolenko.

So basically just drop Keane. Not exactly a solid looking defence is it?

 

[royvernon39]

I've tried my hardest, and this is the best I can do.

Gordon will probably barely be able to move due to it being his 3rd game in a week, but unless El Ghazi is thrown in, we have nobody else. Townsend looked knackered against Newcastle, so surely won't start.

The only reason I can give for Iwobi is that he came on and actually did something (albeit the smallest of flicks) against Brentford), and must surely have fresh legs.

If we ask Allan to give his all for 55 minutes then replace him with Gomes, hopefully that's not too much to ask of them. Van Beek and Alli must be fully fit and motivated.

Pickford
Keane-Holgate-Branthwaite
Allan-van Beek
Iwobi-Alli-Gordon
DCL-Richarlison​

Sorry mate but if your hardest includes Iwobi then we are doomed. I'd have El Ghazi ahead of him and Everton has to play with 2 full backs. Other than that, ok.

Do what you can with this one

@davek

Already well on it.

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.

I am very concerned that your last line is true.

 

[COYB75]

We have, Richy, Gordon, Dom, and hopefully Dele will work out he’s a decent player again. If VDB and Allan can find them then we have a chance. They have no way near that in attack. All out go for it for me. We can’t defend so go for the jugular.

Bye Yerry

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

does that likely mean we will start with Holgate, Keane and Branthwaite as a back 3? - I think both sides will be looking to slip in behind slow defensive backlines...

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Coleman - Holgate - Keane - Branthwaite - Mykolenko

So that's the back 5 set for the foreseeable. Not ideal.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Haha the feed dropped on the presser before it finished back now though

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Haha Mykolenko out another week

We have 4 fit defenders in total. Joke.

EDIT: 5 actually... completely forgot about Jonjoe Kenny

 

[Parker]

A back 4 of Coleman, Keane, Holgate and Kenny.

That is absolutely terrifying.

 

[toffee-boy]

And just like that, my hopes are diminished

 

[Kev The Rat]

no chance tomorrow

Is that around when the next round of South American WC qualifiers is?
