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

[BlueToff]

I'm just picturing how far Coady is going to back off when Gnonto or Somerville run at him. He's going to end up in the back row of the park end

FFS honestly.

That's a really, really poor selection IMO.

 

[Davidoff]

What is it about Gray that Dyche doesn't rate?

Consistency and work rate

 

[kenada_blue]

Must win. Jump to 16th

 

[Nymzee]

I want to believe it's Maupay sort of playing off of a Doucoure/Onana but we know it ain't.

 

[The Blue Watch]

Think set pieces are our only chance here.

Agreed, which makes it even more surprising that Mina isn’t in for Coady

 

[Azza]

Let me guess Bamford hasn't scored in like 20 years so he's nailed on to score a hat trick today.

They are going to be in most games so I can't really understand why he isn't playing Mina who is excellent from them.

It’s bad enough when your top scorer has 5 but then to refuse to play the top scorer…I don’t get it.

Dyche will love Coady even though he in no way actually suits how he wants to play.

 

[Nymzee]

Maybe that's the reason for the bench. Save all our subs then lob 4 extra CB's on with 10 mins to go and start diving for wide free-kicks.

I haven't rated the player at any point this season, wasn't in favour of the signing either. He isn't a good defender, and everything he does is reactive. You can't sustain possession or attacks when you defend so much on the back foot.

 

[The Blue Watch]

Consistency and work rate

McNeil being consistently useless must be comforting

 

[johnjoeefc]

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.

I would have dropped coady for Keane because coady has been awful most the season and Keane has better passing and is more of a threat on set pieces. I would also have maybe gone 4-4-2 but maybe onana will play more advanced or doucoure.

Definitely not a hat trick he is poor...

Probably a brace...

 

[Timbucktoo]

Bamford only has one goal in 15 games this season......
