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

[blue in oxford]

maupay playing = defeat

 

[DanEFC92]

Replaced one striker who can't play on his own up top with another.

Cut out the daft individual errors. And the naivety - get some snide/smarts into our play

I agree if we can cut out the stupid errors we'll be fine

 

[Simon Buttle]

Mykolenko vs Summerville, scary thoughts.

 

[ArtetaMagic]

Sooooo slooooowww

 

[Chegsy]

Pace either side of Bamford. High energy in the middle of the park. Going to have to be on the ball from the off.

 

[maccavennie]

A lot of very fortunate players being given another 90 minutes after a proper abysmal Derby game.

Let's hope he's got them well drilled and right on it today.

 

[HTCHERO]

Coady has been rubbish for ages and still picked...

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

What's up with Gray or is he not fancied by Dyche?

 

[JohnRoss23]

Reminder that this lot went 7 in a row without losing a match early in the season.

 

[blue to the bone]

maupay playing = defeat

Simms playin is worse

 

[davek]

We have options up front off the bench.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Massive massive need to get Doucoure or Onana joining the attack or it’s a long afternoon for Maupay. If he is constantly on the move and dragging people around unselfishly, they are crap enough to leave late arrivals unmarked. Goal in this for Onana. If we do our usual and play Maupay like an isolated big man up top on his own trying to hold off their grocks it will be tough.

Would have fancied Gray to have won constant free kicks off Ayling.

 

[JohnRoss23]

What's up with Gray or is he not fancied by Dyche?

Makes a lot of horrible decisions. Plays selfishly. No idea though

 

[PhilM]

That lineup he's gone with looks poor. I think changes were essential and we know maupay can't play up top alone. Not totally sure what he's up to here. How Is coady still playing

There isn't much more he can do in terms of offensive changes? There's the argument of Holgate and Godfrey, but then we're going to have to play deeper.

With Dom and Garner still not fit, the only other real attacking options are Gray or Simms. Would you play Davies? Our lack of squad depth is rather worrying.
