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

[Howard's Beard]

Some real jarg XIs being posted here. At the very least it makes you realise how difficult a job Franky has on his hands.

 

[Blue Roo]

Why no Allan?

Thought he was out, no?

 

[Cool_Blue]

Leeds will be 2 up in the first 20 minutes. Cue bedlam in the stands.

If Leeds do score first it will indeed be bedlam, I can see a Nyarko moment from someone in the crowd

 

[Dario Terracotta]

With what we have available I'd go:
Pickford
Kenny Keane Branthwaite Mykolenko(if available)
Allan Holgate
Van de Beek
Gordon Calvert Lewin Richarlison
Subs:Begovic,Coleman,Gomes,Alli,Townsend,Onayango,Dobbin
Not expecting Gray to be fit for this,would play Patterson personally and try to take the game to these, but somehow I don't think he will play!!

 

[PhilRegan]

Can t see us beating Leeds draw at best. Out ran, out fought and out classed I sense

 

[n01efc]

Leeds are going to press high, which we know is going to cause all sorts of problems as we try to play out from the back. They are no doubt going to score it’s just seems a case of how many and if we can score more.

 

[AussieToffee11]

Really hope he goes to 4-3-3 and uses the midfield to try and provide extra protection for our poor defense.

He won't drop the captain, and play an inexperienced young RB when we are in a huge relegation six pointer.

Pickford
Coleman Keane Holgate Mykolenko
Van De Beek Allan Gomes
Gordon DCL Richarlison

Begovic, Kenny, Patterson, Branthwaite, Onyango, Dele, El Ghazi, Iwobi, Tosun

I'm not sure he will play Dele and VDB in a midfield three and will want Gordon and Richarlison pressing hard.

3 - 1 to Everton.

@Petit
Ok, yeah, thank f for Alan.
Still probably wouldn't start him. He's banjaxed. By the time Doucs is back he'll need to be hospitalised if Gomes keeps playing.
I'd have him up me sleeve and see what the rest can do. So would start with
Coleman Braithwaite Keane Holgate
Townsend VDB Gbamin Richarlison Gordon
DCL
1st half- all handy hands on deck to protect the defence
2nd half- Alan, Ali and a change in the tactics/formation to win it

 

[billyblue80]

For what it's worth. And considering who might not be available . This is to my team take on Leeds.
Pickford.
Patterson( this guy has been motm a few times playing for scotland) and he can't get a game for us. What is wrong?
Keane ( useless.....But who else do you play? ). Braithwaite ( his younger approach might just be good enough). Mykolenko.
Onyango ( again.....younger legs in midfield. DVDB. ( looked ok the other night. The best of our useless bunch). Gomes ( just one more chance. Please turn up).
The forward line with Gray out, picks its self. Gordon...DCL...Richy.
a few more goals from Gordon would help matters. DCL and Richy also.
And a clean sheet would help.
Not much point in really trying to predict anything. But all im going to say is , don't take about 70 minutes to realise that you are in a football match. Don't go a goal behind. Get stuck in. And just find a way to win this match.

And of course Patterson won't feature. Coleman will huff and puff his way around the pitch. Keane will do his impression of a rabbit caught in headlights. Gomes will get over run by the Leeds midfield. And DCL will miss about 27 chances. Pickford will punch Branthwaite. Kenwright will punch DBB. Lampard will punch Cole. And Duncan will punch Iwobi.
And Leeds will steal the points. While we all implode in front of them.
Talking nonsense folks. We are going to batter them. Up The Toffees.
Rant over........I've taken me pills.

Pickford Kenny or Pattison Holgate braintwaithe, Yarm, van beek

Agree with that starting line up, would play Holgate and braintwaithe CB though if Ukraine lad is fit, can't bear Keane. Maybe delli over Gomes but feel he might be better off the bench. If he's refusing to play Patterson too Kenny has to play unfortunately, Coleman is simply done (other than a sub who plays a couple times a season). Coyb!! Any sort of win will do, don't care who scores

 

[bebo86]

Looks like a lot of people naming Allan in team, Allan is suspended next two games I'm pretty sure

 

[Petit]

Thought he was out, no?

No I don’t think so.

 

[Petit]

Will Frank do a presser and in that case when is it?
