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

[Nymzee]

Coleman's gonna be going for seppuku at half-time once Gnonto's ran at him a few times.

 

[Davidoff]

McNeil being consistently useless must be comforting

Haha fair

 

[The Blue Watch]

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

It’s a shame I can’t bring myself to bet against us, would make a killing betting on the van Wolfswinkels of this world to score

 

[Nymzee]

Our current healthy squad is grim but I'd like to have seen Gray play. We've set up the same way against Arsenal, Liverpool and Leeds now, are these teams all equal?

 

[PhilM]

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.

You make lots of good points to be fair, but I think Dyche wants to play a certain way and that is limiting how many adaptations he can make.

4-4-2 with Maupay and Gray off him could have been an option, yet then that may limit our ability to change it up later - all wide players on the pitch.

Coady being dropped should be a given, with Mina, Godfrey, Holgate or Keane all choices.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

FFS honestly.

That's a really, really poor selection IMO.

This team bar DCL I think played well against Arsenal so let's give them the benefit of the doubt and see how we go!

 

[nsno-chris]

Looking forward to hoof ball to Maupay and seeing Maupay not get a touch

 

[maccavennie]

4 centre backs but doesn't have to be, we have kids, stick them on the bench, when will we ever need 4 extra CB's in a game.

Price, Mills could easily be on the bench, I'd even put Okonronkwo on atm just to freshen up how stale it looks.

I honestly hope Dyche doesn't fall into the same trap and putting all his trust in the same of non performing players.

Absolute pressure game today.

maupay playing = defeat

We beat West Ham at home 1-0, Maupay with the goal




I know





Clutching at straws

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Mina should really be starting, Coady has been poor at times and Mina is a huge threat as well as being our best defender.

That was a lucky win by all accounts. We got the goal out of nowhere and they missed a series of very good chances

 

[TheBigIguana]

I think the adjustment is going to be Onana playing like Fellaini

 

[Terrarian]

Can't wait for the day 1 up top is binned, I much prefer a decent partnership who can feed off each other rather than the striker constantly with his back to goal and no support from midfield.

He needs to find a way for the midfield to be more productive. Drop a mid and put Simms on with Maupay for me.

Absolute pressure game today.

The only (and perhaps simplest) issue with the youth options could be that they simply aren't good enough. Are they any better than Simms?
