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

[Ufotone]

Just checking in to make sure it was all real.

Great stuff lads

Not such a laughing stock after today

We've just shown the PL, we can still play

 

[Lee Smith]

Atmosphere was superb today.

Players, us Evertonians are simple beings, show us some effort, willingness and determination, and we’ll have your back.

MOTD either Gordon or Van de Beek who were both outstanding.

Special mentions to JJK who was brilliant, especially playing out of position (at one point in the first half I thought we’d signed a prime Maldini the way he was twisting and turning in front of me in the Park End), and also to Iwobi, probably the best I’ve seen him play in the Royal Blue.

And was great to hear the whole crowd united behind the manager.

Onwards and upwards!

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

I am smashed

Yeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss.

Love you all.

 

[Leylo]

Superb today bounced out the ground, pressed them all game great to watch awobi take a bow son you really can play.
Do this every week please.

Nice to hear, see and feel Goodison like that today, it's unmatched when the fans and the team align - I hope the happy clappers continue to remember they have a voice.

Seriously, the crowd were magnificent, helped by our players putting a shift in and showing some desire, Leeds couldn't live with us.

Kudos to the lot of our players, no one had a poor game, but iwobi was great, van de Beek shower his class and jonjoe at lb was a revelation.

My motm was our pigeon, Richy - unplayable today, never stopped running, showing for the ball, harassing and pressing when out of possession, held the ball up superbly - as good as anything in the league.

More of this please players and fans - again, it feels like we've got our Everton back.

fell asleep, missed everything, woke up checked we had won….went back to sleep convinced it was a dream.

Ace, not to pound some whisky as im bound to be up all night after sleeping so much in the day ffs.

I missed the game today – given our recent form I thought it was a good idea – but having watched two different sets of highlights now I can't quite work out what our formation was. The setup looks like a 442 but there's an awful lot of drift and interchange between that front 4: anyone got any insights?

Hard to pick anyone as they were all good.

I went for Gordon as he is magic. We gotta sign Donny, we just gotta.

Maybe the crowd should get MOTM as they were brilliant. Loved it. What an atmosphere and what a noise. COYB

More days like this please Everton

Again, I missed most of the match because "it's nice out, let's go to the farmers market" but the commentators were saying constantly they could barely hear themselves in their headphones because of the crowd. Credit to all that attended except @chicoazul.

Can we now put to bed this idea that crowd negativity (or indeed positivity, in the case of yesterday’s match) doesn’t have an impact on our players?

"When the crowd got behind them they looked like a great team.” Dan James told LUTV.

@Daz1878 Hope you are feeling better mate

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Good sign when there are various candidates for MOTM.

Great to see the fans enjoying Goodison again. You deserve it.

Now time to give our amazing away support something to enjoy too.

COYB!!!!

“I’m worried cos frank Lampard can’t organise a defence and conceded loads at Chelsea”

Get in the bin. He played a spl reject who is naturally a right back at left back, the slowest centre half in the league, the most frustrating centre half in the league, a pensioner at right back and a goalie with T-Rex arms and got a clean sheet

Sniff it

Best Saturday night for a looonnggg time
