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

[PaddyG]

We're losing on expected goals, lads

 

[Benj1983]

1 - 5-4-1 at home??? We may aswell kept BFS
2 - Tom Davies at Right Wing Back???
3 - Iwobi at Left Wing Back???
4 - Leeds 13 shots at our goal, those slating Pickford needs to give their head a wobble, he is the only player with any credibility from this game so far!!!

Some top save from our man between the sticks tonight so far

 

[bluelife]

Game gone exactly as we expected, just without the goals. Would think Leeds were 4-0 up the way Carragher has gone on

 

[RomanReigns]

Is this the first time this season in the league we have got to half time with a clean sheet?

no

 

[Amokachi1995]

Why does Sourness keep getting Everton matches. Terrible. They should get a Leeds representative on to balance Tim. Peter Reid maybe

 

[TheBigIguana]

3-4-3 isn’t working. I’d like a standard 4-4-2 here

I feel like that exposes us more defensively without adding any attacking threat.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

We've had the ball in the net twice, unlucky offsides saving Leeds. Davies and Iwobi as wingbacks aren't really working.

They were both well offside. Godfrey is standing in an offside position in front of the goalkeeper, he then makes an attempt to head the ball, so offside is the correct decision.

I feel like that exposes us more defensively without adding any attacking threat.

433 for me with davies in the middle, Holgate at RB and Delph on for Iwobi.

 

[lungo]

It's in the middle of the park and on the flanks where they are controlling the game. Needs to change things.

No control what so ever in the middle. A gap of 40m between defense and midfield. Staying 2m from there players and let them wip in balls in our box. Really nothing works. Even under big watch we looked better.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Doucoure having a stinker.
Allan has been v good, Iwobi not suited to the role but been alright but he can’t get forward

Can he not shoot?.

 

[BornBlue76]

We can win this! But so can they... backs need to communicate, midfield need to find their passes ...

Oddly I feel we have had the better chances.. let’s not forget we have our two in the back of the net...

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

On a positive note, Pickford has made a few good saves, some erratic kicking but has done his job in the main.

 

[d34noj]

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

The VAR replay showed the line from James shoulder, but the defenders feet to make it look substantial.

 

[Everton1654]

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

Godfrey at right back is comical.
