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

[PeregrineT]

The one thing I will say is Leeds defenders seem to become particularly bad as the game goes on. In the last 20-30 minutes they are bad AND now tired and so putting Gray on late may give them fits. I hope thats the plan, its how I would draw it up with my vast lack of experience.

Leeds have Joel Robles on the bench. Formerly of this parish.

Sigh. Not the most inspiring line up tbh. Fact remains: The most important factor today are the fans. Simple as. Rapturous atmosphere is the only thing that will kick this lot into gear. Absolutely have to get the first goal

Sit back, let them come to us in the first 15-20’.

I see our manager has watched the Derby game back and decided the solution to having Ellis simms up top with no support, is to put Neal Maupay up top with no support.

Any links please?

4-0

That’s the spirit

Unless Mina cant do anything without getting injured he needs to be on the pitch. He winds up opponents, he's a snide, he's pretty good at corners at both ends. Grock up the team ffs, we don't really have any other alternative.

 

[God Benfrey]

That team stinks, think we lose this, as soon as we lose the ball in transition our defence will basically do everything to concede

 

[GoldenToffee]

This is an Expected Defeat but let's see if Dyche has had it in him to fire up a reaction following that derby humiliation.

Enjoy your last few mins as Everton will ruin the rest of our Saturday haha

Never saw the RS game but going by the match day thread I have no confidence.
Especially 4ft Maupay up front.
Prove me wrong…. Please. COYB

My xH (expected hope) is high right now, and as usual I’m expecting it to peak at 2:59

I find that hard to believe as well. Maupay would offer nothing if he was one of three centre forwards. On his own he’s worse than useless. Might as well be playing with 10 men. Sorry, I meant 9 men. I’ve just noticed McNeil in the lineup. 2-1 Leeds. Late consolation goal for us.

Hello snooze fest. Nil nil. Billy Bremner dirty play.
