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

[Charles Hawtrey]

We have to use the extra 24 hours rest to our advantage somehow and play a crazy tempo...leeds has some big players missing so we have to take advantage and play without fears like we did against Brentford.

Who do they have out?

 

[Wat Tyler]

2-0 Leeds, our playing from the back will play into their hands.

 

[Ruairi77]

Pickford
Patterson Keane Branthwaite Mykolenko
...........Holgate, Allan
.................VDB
Gordon...............Richie
................DCL

Kinda like a 4-3-3 but with VDB linking Allan and Holgate to the front line.
Patterson and Gordon on the same side could be very risky so put holgate in midfield providing cover for the left back.
It's defensive but I think we need to focus on that.

I dont think Gbamin is able to play intense games in this league. Hes the biggest risk of anyone in midfield

You would think be perfect for the role cdm sw, gomes is no point game will pass him by only other option maybe ali have allan vdb sitting then gordon rich either side

Leeds are so bad, if we cant beat these were down

It also helps if we can make passes like the one from villa for their 2nd v Leeds, instead of Everton just doing nothing a lot of the time

 

[Drico]

One thing about this game is that both teams will get plenty of chances to score. Leeds certainly will - how else could it be with the Chuckle Brothers at the centre of our defence - but we will too, because Leeds are wild. This means that Richarlison, in particular, needs to earn his corn. Same applies to DCL if he starts. The time for excuses are over. We need our finishers on form. [Poor language removed] or get off the pot, lads.

There is that, I'm trying to be positive, which is VERY hard right now

 

[blueconverse]

Looking forward to.going down tbh. Win a few more games and could win a trophy. This club isn't doing anything in the pl anytime soon. Also if it makes Moshiri sod off its worth it

 

[ToffeeTim]

These cant defend the ball over the top. Pepper them in behind with diagonals to Alli

 

[North wales blue]

Leeds are a piss poor side. 2 - 0 Everton

 

[ToffeeTim]

Get the z cars siren on from half 2

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Leeds are a piss poor side. 2 - 0 Everton

And we are ? ?

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Uh oh, looks like this Leeds side have some "fight" in them. Try teaching that to Keane, etc before Saturday.

 

[DuncanDisorderly88]

I'm not looking forward to Leeds pressing us for 90 mins while we mess about passing around our defense bound to gift them at least one goal
