Souness before make up

That’ll be Carlo after tonight’s game mate.

sky news have got Paul Robinson reporting.

 

[Frenk]

Worrying that none of the youngsters are promising enough (in Carlo’s eyes) to challenge for the first team. The bench is hardly inspiring.

It’s been that way for years with our youngsters, so much talk, but hardly any of them ever make it.

 

[T LEAFE]

They are quicker to every ball
More athletic and quicker

 

[Tin-Tin]

So much moaning.

We are missing BOTH our rb and lb.

we have had two goals disallowed, more shots on target and leeds are second in the league for shots, attempts and chances created.

we can win this but may need some luck

Frustration that we are being given a footballing lesson by a team thats just come out of the Championship, as well as not matching their workrate.

I dont get that offside rule - if Godfrey got a touch fair enough but he's not even effected the ball was going in regardless.

VAR is fine its the laws that are astoundingly bad and need common sense tweaking.

He's classed as interfering with play mate, even if he doesn't attempt to head the ball it could have still been given offside because he is standing in front of the keeper so it could still be classed as interfering with play.

Do we look knacked or just unfit? Cant put my finger on it.

We just look very uncomfortable without the usual width that Digne provides.

 

[toffeepie1878]

Not having Nkounkou or Gordon to pick from the bench is a disaster, that is only one mans fault and not mine.

But by all account bring on useless Sigs and Delph after 70 minutes and see what they do

 

[Medallo]

While Leeds had more chances in this first half, I don't think the game is so lopsided as people are making it out. Yes, Leeds is playing better but is not like Everton didn't have any chance of scoring. Yes, Everton has to improve, but they also have to get it in there whenever they have a chance. I'm loving those free-kicks from James. I just heard the commentator saying it is really 50-50 who wins and I agree.

 

[kenada_blue]

That Holgate turnover was freaking terrible and he stood and watched it leaving us more exposed.

You can tell we don't all the way know how to handle situations in this system.

It's troubling. Why one of Allan or Doucoure just bite the bullet and sit, I don't know.

 

[Tin-Tin]

They are quicker to every ball
More athletic and quicker

Mentally and physically quicker to react.

 

[Quadvod]

Do we look knacked or just unfit? Cant put my finger on it.

There’s something definitely not right with our conditioning

Come on Everton!!!

It's very rare for us to come out second half after and turn things around..Just can't see the flow of the game changing. If we don't score first we lose.
