Can’t get to Goodison tomorrow due to family issues and to be honest I’ll be tied up for the hours we’re playing, I’m thinking of just turning all off connections and just wait until 6pm and check out the score

Yeah that’s the time I leave! I somehow think if I shut the world out and tune into the scores I’ll see a 3-1 victory on the tinternet!

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. I've tried it before myself.

It does lessen the pain of a loss a bit though

from Sporting Life - I'd take a point to be honest just to not lose again....

Correct Score: Everton 2-2 Leeds (Sky Bet odds: 10/1)​

• Saturday, 15:00

Frank Lampard's Everton look set to be a fun watch, with their two games under him so far delivering nine goals. Their defensive display at Newcastle in midweek was shocking, allowing 3.21 xGA and looking really easy to play against.

Leeds look to be back to their swashbuckling best too, with their last four away games seeing five, seven, five and six goals.

They were impressive against Villa in midweek and we can expect the gung-ho approach once again in what should be a cracking match.

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

This reminds me of those happy days running a Sunday League team.

If I was Frank I'd definitely be telling Ashley Cole that in the case of a booking his name was Yerry Mina.

We are really screwed at the back someone has to play left back I remember Holgate playing there in a few cup games I would stick him there and have Branthwaite alongside Kegger, we need someone new at the back for me and I think Branthwaite is going to have to play at some point with Mina's injury. Midfield three of Allan sitting deep, VDB alongside him but box to box and Alli pushing slightly on but also closing down their pivots hopefully. Then the front three. We need a result whatever it is we need a result, praying here.

Probably the best way I've watched recently and it's bad for the blood pressure.

Think that side gets torn to bits. The best way to beat Leeds is to go at them but you've still got to have some ability to slow them down. No sitting midfielder, two 10s and Holgate trying to stop Raphinha is a disaster waiting to happen.

This has 'Everton Defeat' written all over it, and a heavy one at that. Leeds United will overrun and overwhelm our midfield, keeping the pressure up on the Everton goal area safe in the knowledge that it will not take too much for our defensive resolve to crack. The fact that we went a goal up last week but were unable to hang on to the lead for more then one minute, shows just how naive and vulnerable this Everton defence can be. COYB!

What is the actual point of you supporting if you continually predict defeats?

I think VdB can play anywhere in midfield. Looks calm and composed and can cope with the physicality.

It has nothing to do with being a supporter, fan, or a neutral. I tend to look at the situation such as past performances (not always the best indicator), players available, player attitudes and confidence, etc. Then give what is nothing more than an opinion, which, just like every other opinion on here, means nothing at all in reality. If what I write irks you so much, you can always just pass by my posts without reading them; I must warn you though, you'll be missing out on some fantastic content if you do.

Goodison needs to be one intimidating place, but for the opposition, we get behind them totally we've got a shout .every club now knows get at us and our supporters will get on their backs .got to stay behind them wether you like it or not or they will fall to bits again
I know they're is alot of bottlers in the team .let's do our part and put our shift in and not get on their backs, we're in trouble let's do our bit.coyb

VDB can play as an eight. But who do we pick instead though maybe Gomes for Alli maybe Patterson or JJK at left back we have no options? Gbamin doesn't seem to be trusted. Tell me who else we play we are on the bones of our arse.

Has to be 3 points. Norwich and Burnley up against City and Liverpool. The games in hand over Norwich don’t mean much with our current form.
