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

[Rook]

I was out running today and looks like I forgot to DVR it. WE...WON?

 

[DanEFC92]

And it's Everrrrrrton Everton FC

 

[when i score we riot]

Watched the game in the middle of an excellent skiing day up here in the norwegian mountains.

Get. In! Bring on those good vibes. Love seeing us perform as a team. Love to see Goodison rocking. What a feeling.

 

[tsubaki]

absolutely made up with that

De Beek motm today I think. Kept the ball moving, took it under pressure, worked hard and put in some challenges. Nice of Man Utd to loan us their best midfielder!

Gordon and Allan brilliant today too, as were Iwobi and Richarlison... a good team performance!

Yeah I was well impressed with DVB today. Beggars belief why he couldn't get more game time for a poor United side.

 

[PhilRegan]

Inject it.

Like a young Christopher Lloyd

 

[PhilRegan]

Inject it.

Hes looking for morpheus

 

[Wayno]

Haha Christ, creep's a new one!

Nowt to do with that at all. Just about trying to not go overboard when we play well and equally not go overboard when we're awful...

VdB played one very good game for us and he's now better than one of the best midfielders in the Premier League era?

I'm buzzing, absolutely buzzing. But we're still 16th, still need to learn how to string a few good performances together. If every home game can be like that we'll be fine, but we need to maintain that level in the away games too and go from there don't we.

Evertonians love building things and hyping things up only for it to backfire on us spectacularly if you haven't noticed..

You’re not wrong but leave us to it for a couple of days

Just watched the first goal back, all Coleman!

 

[dan7787]

I hope people will lay off Coleman for a while after a performance like that

 

[Verbal Kint]

I hope people will lay off Coleman for a while after a performance like that

Can never understand why he was always getting a bad rap... 60k and he has never once hid unlike alot of his teammates down the years.

 

[Number_25]

Absolutely brilliant, from start to finish.

I pray that the support continues, even when we look a lot worse. Time we stick together.

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

The Goodison Crowd should be in the poll, boss today

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Even at 3-0 I flapped the whole time because...y'know it's the blues.

I get it but I don’t want to go there. That’s the kind of thinking that got us to where we are. Time to put it behind us. At halftime I was going to post some joke about “who are these in blue shirts and what have they done to Everton?” But no. No sarcasm, no pessimism, no cynicism, no dropping heads. We needed all-in today from all players and the crowd and we got it. Some players whose Everton careers have been written off had MOTM performances. The team and crowd reacted like we were playing to get into the Europe doors and not out of the drop zone.
