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

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Godfrey first on the sheet now at Centre Half surely, superb stuff.

Deffo a bit of a headache for Carlo, Keane has been our best centre - half this season, Godfrey deserves to keep his place in the middle, Mina been really good of late and brilliant tonight, rather Carlo than me to sort that one out.

How on earth can we produce two such contrasting performances in two consecutive matches??

Insipid, apathetic garbage one match and then fully committed, play for the shirt and your teammates, in your face brilliance the next.

That's what is most frustrating if we had played with half that commitment on Saturday I am sure we would have got a result

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Big 3 points that, could and should have made it comfortable but at same time Olsen made a stunning triple save to keep us ahead

My man of the match... Looked solid!

 

[Wat Tyler]

Fantastic three points that

 

[jaycee]

First half Gomes was superb,but overall Id go Doucoure,covered every inch of that pitch

United lost at home to Sheffield last week
The RS lost at home to Burnley last week

Crazy season. Everyone has had strange results. The difference for us this year vs prior years is we find ways to bounce back after terrible defeats. That's something to build on- shows the character of this side

 

[big nev lookalike]

Excellent performance from the whole team. 2 good goals and some great defending. Godfrey as MOM, he never stopped running and his positional sense was really good.

 

[MinkyJoe]

Nice that we had a 10 minute cameo from Davies - as if the stress levels weren't high enough.

 

[jamieni]

Great win. Nail biting stuff. What a player Ben Godfrey is.

 

[lieneverton]

Well we got a reaction from Saturday, I can't work out though how much Leeds played into our hands with the space they leave. Either way, we really needed that.

Just highlights what an absolute and utterly grim result Saturday was, if we'd done the business there we'd be right in contention for top 4.

Much better stuff though, especially given we have some tricky fixtures coming up.

 

[BornBlue76]

Holgate showed why isn't a natural RB tonight.. struggled as well defensively... I don't think Coleman would have done any better to be honest.. just shows where we need to invest...

 

[Bluepablo]

Thought Olsen did really well with the saves but his kicking is really poor which is a real concern if we want to progress.

 

[rochdaleblue]

Well done boys. Another away victory against a team bang in form. Can we make it 5 away wins on Saturday at united. Need Allan back desperately to add some control to the midfield.

 

[jamieni]

lol his traditional give aways of possession top notch tonight.

 

[Terrarian]

don't half enjoy making life difficult for ourselves don't we. Hate watching us concede 60odd% possession but we stayed solid after our usual not turning up after half time.
