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

[JobForTheMoyes]

Leeds never gave up, we lacked the same commitment.

It’s our common problem since Bobby came in.

Which one was that catcher?

The corner mate, where it went in off the Leeds player.

The corner mate, where it went in off the Leeds player.

It didn't

It deflected off both players. Offside.

 

[catcherintherye]

I thought it came off a Leeds player too but not sure what the interpretation of that rule is exactly

Well the iny intepretation is it's onside.

Keep the faith,Carlo’s world class.

Is he?

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Since Everton last won a trophy in 1995, these clubs have lifted major trophies yet we have just 1 FA Cup final appearance.........

FA Cup; Portsmouth 2008, Wigan Athletic 2013, Man Utd x4, Chelsea x7, Arsenal x8, Man City x2, Liverpool x2

League Cup; Aston Villa 1996, Leicester City x2, Chelsea x4, Spurs x2, Blackburn Rovers 2002, Liverpool x3, Middleborough, Man Utd x4, Birmingham City, Swansea City, Man City x5.

How can this be? It must be a Curse. Can we burn some sage at this Forum?

It was off a Leeds player. Maybe Richarlinson got the 1st contact, but final toucg, undoubtedly off a Leeds player. He can't be offside then. Absolutely no idea why VAR didn't even look at it.

Didn't Palace score 4 against Leeds the other week and we score 0

Leeds are an absolute bugger to play against. We'll play worse this season and win. Not s great performance but not terrible imho. Created some decent chances.

Just overrun by suspiciously superhuman athletes who are incredibly well drilled on a week when we had a very makeshift team out

 

[brian labone]

Having a manager with so much experience why does he play Iwobi as a left wing back and why does he not like young players. If I was this young left back everybody's raving about why would I sign a new contract at EFC, never to get a chance under Ancelotti. I mean in a few years time.

It hit both players. It was offside. Deflections irrelevant and haven't mattered for years

 

[Khalekan]

Probably but I follow Tolima so I have been insane since childhood, no wonder I fit so well here lol

lol

I mean if Richarlison gets a touch then he's offside unfortuantely. Like saying if someone shoots but it takes a deflection immedaitely, the person who taps it in who is miles offside becomes onside. Not how it works.

Can't begrudge them the victory, but really questionable decisions in system and subs.

 

[matty1878]

At least that’s one good result today

oh out from your rock kev you beaut

 

[ToffeeTim]

Leeds play like Everton should play. Massive amounts of energy and 100% commitment

I hate what has happened to our squad over the last decade. Full of overpaid lazy overrated mid table players.
