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

[Bullens Rd]

He's confirmed God and Hol are back in today.

 

[Toffeelover]

He needs to lash a CB into the midfield rather than play 4 CBs across the back four and drop us 20yds further back.

Either that or Digne in MF

 

[Jeff Jones]

If Newcastle can totally dominate us then Leeds will overrun our weak midfield.

Yes, but that's the thing isn't it? You can't follow the form. Picking winners based on their last match result and performance isn't working.

 

[The Wizard’s Sleeve]

Everton have Premiership players in every position and on the bench. Leeds will have a team with at least 9 out of 11 Championship players starting and U23’s on the bench. Going to be a mismatch. Surely this is Tyson vs Buster Douglas again.

Yes I like the looks of that team.

 

[Jeff Jones]

...wonder if Ancelotti will go back to PlanB for the next two games, with 4 CBs in the back four.

It's worked pretty well for him and we don't leak goals with it. If James, Richo and DCL up front all have a good day what can go wrong?

Well, you know what I mean.

Welcome mate . Tell us a bit about yourself and your first home game

 

[Toffeelover]

I think the LB's name was Bell.

Thank you mate for reminding me. At that time Temple was probably the fastest winger in the 1st div and had a heck of a shot on him. It was more than likely deliberate Leeds tactics to take him out. The whole were a dirty bunch of snides, Bell, Charlton, Bremner, Hunter to name the worst. Seem to recall they or their fans created a big trouble in a foreign match ala Heysel. Actually went to one of our games at Elland Road and their players were a bit cleaner but they were at home.

 

[Cameron Manning]

As I said, it's not even an argument for me, Davies and Gomes over Delph every single time.

I like Davies personally and I think he's done well for the majority of the season so he'd be who I'd start with Doucoure.

I thought he did very well versus Leicester then got dropped versus Newcastle for his efforts!! Carlo makes you think at times.

Well, you know what I mean.

...I like the thought of Rodriguez in the no10 position, but he really was too deep and too wide against Newcastle. I thought it was a major contributing factor to our defeat. I want him orchestrating the game in the top third, not from the half-way line.

 

[DanB90]

Imagine your arse flapping over playing Leeds. They’re a good attacking team, but just as capable of conceding 4 or 5 in any given match.

 

[blue to the bone]

When they beat us in November we had 3 at the back with Davies and iwobi as wing backs.
We won't be as badly set up tonight

 

[royalblue66]

Was there one.day in the sixties in the queue at the turn stile
this lad reached in grabbed a bag of cash and did a runner, fella in the kiosk
shouting “ stop him” we all moved to one side for him haha
The Bizzies were stopping the coaches on the way back, think every away was an adventure.

Can't be bothered with another whiffy performance.

Comfortable win please. Just one. All I ask.
