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

[Bullens Rd]

This will be an awful sign for the rest of the season if there isn't immediately a huge improvement on the Newcastle game, make no bones about it.

Carlo publicly questioned the heart and desire of the players, and not for the first time. They've had a few days to stew it over and go through the tactics for tonight's game at the training ground.

Those who fail to up their game 200% tonight should find themselves dropped for the immediate future.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Fairly certain he's not available. 12 noon monday was the deadline for registration.

Fairly certain he's not available. 12 noon monday was the deadline for registration.

BBC reporting it aswell

if he is available im always in the camp that he should get a good 20 min run-out on debut.

its a win-win

if he does well, then its a smooth transition into the team in terms of success

if not, its too early to judge, therefore no judgement made (the he just got here argument)

 

[Melba Toast]

king being available won’t be the issue here.

we need a massive game from doucoure here.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Apparently BBC are saying King could be involved tonight provided he gives a negative COVID test

 

[D410]

Start King from the off

 

[Tubey]

An absolute pasting tonight - 4-1 Leeds.

 

[zukai12_]

Doucs need the game of his life here

 

[Death]

Josh king could be eligible i am hearing.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Think i might not watch this you know

 

[Jamo Martinez]

An absolute pasting tonight - 4-1 Leeds.

I'm thinking 4-1 to us.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Rodrigo deffo out, Bamford and Raphinha both doubtful, massive bonus if they both are out and can't be any excuses for us if they end up missing all those three.

 

[everton1953]

My iron discipline comes into play tonight. I will switch on the internet for the score at about 10pm. Then I either delete the recording of the game, or happily and joyfully watch it with a drink and celebrate the pleasure of a win or a draw.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Personally I think CA will go with......

Olson
Holgate Mina Kean Godfrey
Gomes Doucoure
James Sigurdsson Richarlison
DCL

Cant see anything other than a Leeds win, much the better side at Goodison. Better fitness, pace, aggression and work rate plus they will want it more. We`ve seen how this Everton team deals with a press, woefully. Unfortunately Leeds to complete a league double over Everton in their 1st season in the PL, Liverpool will pull away tonight and Villa to overtake us, putting us 9th. Ultimately I think that is, more or less, where we will finish 7th-9th.

I reckon It'll be that back 4 but with Davies instead of Sigurdsson and Digne in playing further forward.
