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

[PhilRegan]

It will be a dream for Leeds to play against our midfield and especially our defense, if we set up like we did against Fulham we easily concede three goals on the counter attack. Question is can we score four ? That's what will be needed i feel for the win. I think this will end 3-3.

 

[Methuselah]

Leeds age old problem of not being able to find the back of the net resurfaced against Arsenal. 26 attempts on goal with a zero return. Leeds will create chances, it's whether they can convert any.

No it wont if you have a decent CB, hence dumping Mina - forever.

Van Dijk is a good CB - he marshals the entire defence from CB area up to the midfield, our defence is all over the shop and its hurting our eyes

Everton need to sort out defence and get a Zaha like figure in January

Usually only takes a player we've been linked with.

 

[R.Reddington]

Leeds away from home don’t really worry me. They’ve lost to Palace, conceded 4 against Lpool and scraped a win against Sheffield United. We can get at these...

 

[Chenmoss]

I am assuming that if we play against these teams like we did the second half against Fulham we are done.

But what if we play like the first half for 90 mins. Seems to be forgotten how good we were first half

 

[GwladysBlue]

Surely by the law of averages we are due a clean sheet?

Then, for tactical reasons, the opponent gives City the opportunity to do so. This indicates that the opponent is not pressing high. Teams will have different tactics from match to match, but mostly it will be a common thread in how teams choose to pressure the opponent. However, this numerical measure does not provide an answer to the quality of the pressure, but it does give an indication of how high and intense it is. I have seen many Leeds matches this year, and this index matches well with what I have seen. Bielsa is also known for the intense pressure that his teams play with. That's one of his hallmarks.

Why, when I read that, does it read like Will from The Inbetweeners is saying it?

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

To be fair, a bunch of sloths on opiates have a higher energy level than our lot in the 2nd half.

That’s a game I’d pay to see.

 

[LeedsW5]

Judging by the game Eze had against you for Palace I would imagine Rodriguez is looking forward to being marked by Dallas.
Whilst Eze has real potential Rodriguez is on another level.

Scored his free kick and did naff all else? Dallas had him well under control when we played QPR last season. Palace game just a write off - when the other side gets that many slices of luck you've got to think it's just not your day.

Didn’t van dijks defense ship 3 against Leeds on the opening day?

 

[Ruairi77]

I’d go Olsen.
Coleman, keane, Holgate, Digne
Doucoure, Alan, Gomes
James, DCL, Richarlison.
If Coleman is In-N-Out Ed, I’d try iwobi at right full

And 7 on Villa
