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

So we're struggling against a team playing with more intensity and pace and on come slowcoaches Delph and Gomes to rescue us.

Pointed that out Carlo looks like he just gives players a game introspective of the game .......

It’s fun to watch though. Kind of like a better version of Mowbray’s West Brom.

They are good with the ball, so it’s not like they are only a team of runners.

So were Blackpool.

Let Phillip's have so much space it was ridiculous, making him looking like some world class centre midfielder when he isn't, changes needed at half time but nope wait till we go 1-0 down before changing system.

Terrible, and genuinely are our players colourblind the amount of simple passes that we just played straight to a Leeds player was weird.

I said quite a few times we need them players and quite a few more shot before we have any meaningful aims to challenge near the top - they are a waste of oxygen

 

[BigMick]

We might have lost but it's a step in the right direction cos we only let in one.

 

[andy4efc]

Pathetic that. All over the pitch. Pickford abs Allan only ones I’ll absolve as both did well.

 

[Bluewolf]

Team was wrong, sorry Carlo you have to take some of the heat for this one

What team was he supposed to play? We have no fb's and our squad depth is terrible.

 

[R.Reddington]

That Delph sub was an utter disgrace btw.

 

[Sharpattack]

Two points of 4th, would have been 3rd with a win. Losers mentality to look downwards rather than upwards

Get a grip. Do we look like a Top 4 side? We certainly look like a bottom half of the table side.

 

[Andy Gray Diving Headers]

JP and Allan were by far the best Everton players. The rest either had an off day or are just not good enough (you can make your own minds up on which players fit in each category).

 

[ossie_21]

40% possession at home, pathetic.

Lost this at team selection. If Gordon and Nkounkou don’t get a look in next week, it reeks of Martinez/Silva stubbornness

 

[DaChunk]

I don't know how much energy I have left for this awful team. How many more years of misery christ.

 

[billybeeru]

That's not true at all though. Maybe Leeds should have scored more but they were wide open and we didn't do anything with it. We missed the chances we created but far too often we had them opened up and made the wrong decisions that led to nothing coming of it. And that is partially down to the system constantly changing and still not having much continuity between the front 3, but it is what cost us today.

Can’t tell if you’re agreeing with me or not.

 

[Oh how the maggots taste]

Given the state most teams towards the top are in, this could have been a massive result. Oh well, onto a win against Burnley!

Leeds defence is a shambles btw, not
that you’d have guessed it tonight. Disgraceful, gutless performance
