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

[carolinablue232]

on a positive the leeds bench is unremarkably unknown.... maybe second half we will do well..

Yeah, we'll probably get right into them after we go 3-0 down in the first half. I'm optimistic about VDB getting a start and it's good Dom is back. But with that back 4, we'll need about 5 goals to win this unless Frank has some wizardry up his sleeves.

Looks like could be Coleman left back and Wobes ahead of VDB and Allen in midfield to me.

Given the players, I hope that's exactly what it is.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

That has to be the worst back 4 ever named in a Premier League game.

Selling Lucas digne has to be one of the worst decisions in recent club history! he is an accomplished international LB, creative and solid. We are now playing Kenny there, who can't even make the team at RB where he has played his entire career.
This season we are looking at Iwobi playing at #10 when we drummed James Rodriguez out odf the club too.

The decisions of the recent past will haunt us today.

Half a billion over six years... and that's what we end up with.

Just shoot me. Somebody.

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

Feeling a bit pessimistic here.
Fear the record premier league home defeat could be on the line.

 

[maccavennie]

I wonder if he'll play Iwobi as a LWB and Coleman as a CB

 

[BlueToff]

If he is with Coleman and Kenny on the pitch Im switching it off

It could be 442 or 4231, but equally Iwobi has played that wing-back role before. Probably his best game IIRC.

if he does do that shape Macca then i think Iwobi would be on the right with Kenny left

Played left wing back badly against Leeds and played right well against Fulham

 

[Zeitgeist]

Iwobi onto his fourth permanent manager now. He's not going to miraculously get good under Lampard.

Right ok shall we just boo from the first minute then?

Get behind him, he's playing and we need to give our team confidence not nervousness and hate

 

[neil999]

Iwobi as centre back

 

[Zatara]

The only way this works is if Lampard has come across a new system...

VDB playing sweeper

This is really scary

Everton Fan on the GOT match thread 30 minutes before kick off

 

[Kirkles]

If we'd played 3 centre mids every game this season we wouldn't be in the position we find ourselves in. Why do they keep playing two in there when it blatantly doesn't work? Maybe Richy refuses to play off the left.
