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

[Clarky cat]

Blue boys were absolutely magnificent today, to a man. Defensively far more solid than I’ve seen for months. Iwobi mom, I don’t think I’d ever seen him so determined and strong as he was today, new start for him and hopefully felt the love of the fans today.

 

[Street end man]

What a performance, impossible and unfair to pick a MOM so won't even try. Loved Gordon singing along to It's a grand old team at the end.

 

[steven]

That was just top quality all round. Get in there.

Hard picked for motm - but for sheer outperforming expectation it’s between Iwobi and Kenny for me.

Looked like a team going for Europe there. Brilliant lads!

 

[maccavennie]

Honestly wasn't sure who to give motm to. Kenny, Coleman, VDB, Gordon fantastic.

But Iwobi was excellent, a real workrate and desire off the ball today. Brilliant

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

That was alright wasn’t it?? Reckon Goodison would have collapsed if Rondon scored that volley! Was that Iwobi’s first 90mins in an Everton shirt?

 

[Curtis]

I'm not going to lie I scoffed with cynicism when I saw that lineup. Kudos to Frank and the players for achieving that result

 

[allen]

Brilliant. Just what we needed.

Huge respect to everyone who went, too. That atmosphere sounded amazing. Well done, all.

3-0 what a result! 5 more wins to safety! I watched the 2nd half and still not completely sure what formation we played, at times it looked like 442, sometimes 451, the players certainly put a shift in, they are working for each other and the manager. Dele looked good coming off the bench, but you can tell he needs match practice. That cross for Rondon towards the end was a worldie though, but the keeper made a brilliant save.
If we keep playing like that we will be ok.

My favorite thing about this performance is that it wasn’t just one or two players who had standout games. Everyone did their part and it was a total team effort. Haven’t seen that for a while.

i'd like to dedicate this to all the weirdo leeds fans who're still obsessed with Lampard over the spying issue from 3 years ago

 

[street end]

Have gave him a bit of stick this season but Iwobi man of the match, superb today.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Delighted. Fantastic performance, top management from Frank, and the fans killed it today, well done to all.

 

[Northeastblue]

Amongst all the things I enjoyed in that game, three moments stood out. Rondon looking like a 60 million quid striker getting on the end of Alli's superb cross. Coleman taking the time to convince Iwobi that, yes, he really was THAT good. Gordon singing along to Grand Old Team. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

 

[Evertonthat]

Crowd generated a huge atmosphere today. Must have been intimidating for Leeds, but all that noise was on the back of a great team performance. Even Iwobi had a storming game! He's my motm.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Iwobi was good by his standards but dvdb motm easily for me. Iwobi still makes the wrong decisions in attacking areas too often for my liking

Generally I’d agree but he barely put a foot wrong today and pressed relentlessly.
