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

[Ivo]

How can players still be isolating after the 16th?? Surely they're all double jabbed and just have to have a negative test...?

 

[dutchblue54]

Same eleven i would think unless Benitez goes more defensive away from home (3rd centre back).
As Godfrey seems still out.

 

[Mark Bisson]

Remember going to Bellend road back in the early 90s when I was about 12 and seeing a black lad getting ejected by stewards as HE was causing unrest with all the abuse he was receiving from Leeds ‘fans’. Absolutely disgraceful scenes.

 

[Tree13]

My only changes would be Gbamin (if he's ready to go close to 90 minutes) for Allan and Godfrey for Holgate. Richarlison starts in the place he played the second half, Gray on the left. I'd have Townsend on a very short leash with Iwobi ready if we're struggling to get up the pitch. Ball carrying is key against Leeds and it is the one area that I think Iwobi has Townsend beat for sure. But we played well enough to not change it majorly.

Yes, let's let Michael Keane start against a team that attacks at high speed and presses high up the pitch when not in possession. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm surprised you've grudgingly decided to let Doucouré play again. You feeling ok?

 

[Carlito]

Good to know that a player who was £1m off being the most expensive striker in the club's history could possibly give us a hand if absolutely necessary.

Godfrey out I don't fancy us at all

 

[billyblue80]

I'd definitely start Mina over Keane if he is fit

There's always been a difference between good and our beat option.

Can't stand Benitez press conferences, but the journos don't help! He must have been sick of the bielsa fan club then - zzzzzzz. Tactical genius got showed up by the pe teacher at the theatre of screams last week didn't he?! Bore off.

Don't get gbamin being out but Kean is ok, even tho gbamin was training?!

Gutted about Godfrey missing - think I'd go with Yerry and holgate - Mick kegger will wilt under the pressure of the Leeds support.

Leeds will be right up for this, but could go too gun ho, so could be messy or glorious for us depending on which Everton show up!

Chief Virologist and head of homeopathy Dr. Delph has been in their ear…..

 

[ForeverBlue92]

No Godfrey, Gbamin, Slomes, James

Squad still bare

Coleman still at RB

No pace in the midfield

Would snap your hands off for a point now and get the troops back for Brighton / hope the club can bring 1 in before next weekend.

Saw an article in the Guardian saying loads of Premier League players are not jabbed.
Astonishing really.

Gbamin has played CB before...maybe an option for Rafael?

It's not like Holgate is someone who handles presses well. And he's a worse defender.

Also don't get why we're still throwing insults at Solsjkaer who has proven he's a good manager.

We totally have issues with holgate, but Keane worried me with the fans back at Goodison, and it's going to be much more intense for him at Leeds - i think I'd prob prefer Branthwaite or Gbamin at cb ahead of holgate tho, if Godfrey is unfit.

I was more throwing shade at Bielsa bud, not OGS, but I suppose he can't help looking like a pe teacher who's about to burst into tears.
