Match Thread Everton v Leeds United - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Blueway]

I didn't think we were playing that bad? At least we got it in the net, they are a pressing side so we will be on the back foot and our defence has been solid. I clearly know little about footie btw..on another note, the commentary clowns so want a Leeds win, had to turn it off!

 

[bebo86]

Leeds are very good to watch in fairness but like us Shakey at the back. 3 points are there for the taking. Coyb

 

[BlueDraka]

Our defence is literally all over the show. Get it sorted Carlo and we can win this

 

[blueconverse]

VAR can get in the bin. Cant celebrate anything

 

[ToffeeTim]

Could easily be behind so that's a bonus

We are a man short all over the pitch. Allan does an awful lot of great work but equally his pressing leaves us wide open. The wing backs have been exposed but thats not a huge surprise. We probably need to tweak the system but unfortunately the only option I see that could work is Delph, so I dunno.

We probably should have had a goal so its not all bad.

 

[Darrenc34]

Half time thank god.

 

[Bungle]

We’re making them look like City.

We're playing Iwobi and Davies as wingbacks and its still 0-0, hardly world beaters this Leeds team are they.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Let’s see Carlo earn his money at half time. F...big joke of a set up - a good first half against a piss poor Fulham not a good barometer to pin our hopes on 3 at the back. Such a bizarre selection, reminds me of the equally strange Newcastle line up. Games we could win but don’t know if Carlo’s trying to be too clever for his own good. Frustrating.

 

[II McColl II]

One thing i will give Bielsa is he knows how to make a crap defensive team not scared in to trying to defend.

These lot can't defend for their life arguably worse than us but the difference is they're relentless in attacking, they don't care about defending at all just want to attack 100% of the time.

Us on the other hand are playing a back 5 and still getting countered because as predicted we end up just crowding the space and losing the ball due to no outlet either wing.

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

You're excused.

Explain yourself then for the pathetic response

 

[Chrismac]

If we dont change the system we'll end up with nothing here

 

[LocalNative]

I'm not convinced James was offside for his goal. Very very marginal. Clearly dropped giving benefit to the attacker

He's off. That's the rules this season, lets not forget the derby.

This formation ain't working, we have no width at all and are getting butchered through the middle.

 

[Frenk]

Not sure how we can change this, no speed down the wings due to injuries. Don’t think anybody on the bench would change the way this is going.

 

[RomanReigns]

honestly we need to jib this 5 at the back crap

get godfrey right back, move davies into the middle and lets get back to the only formation where we kept a cleansheet

 

[Encoder]

Missed the first half, how good have we been?

Very open, should be about 3-3.

And we've made some good chances with some bad defending.
