Joe Royle scores Everton FC’s second goal in their 3-2 victory against Leeds United FC in this League Division One match played at Goodison Park on the 30th August 1969.

I think Delph should feature. Here me out. He would probably try for once, given its his old club. And a decent performance may convince them to buy/take on loan as rotation for Phillips.

Obviously the outcome would be another 3 month injury. But worth a go!

I've always considered myself a realist when it comes to Everton, so I'll say a simple 6-0 Everton battering of the Yorkshire menace

Is this place less active than last season? Seems that way but I don't have the data to back that up..

Wow that brought back great memories for me, hadn't seen that in years, big Joe at his best what a reflex action once it comes back off the bar.
I was a 9 year old at the game with my Grandad, I was on the railings in the paddock in the corner with the Park end and had a great view of that goal.
I disliked Leeds even then and knew it was a great result.
A win today please lads would set my Saturday up nicely.

I call it the Rafael Benitez effect.

I hope we win but I think it will be a draw. An error free defence and a performance like the second half of last week will be needed against this high energy team.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Most important game of the season today.

With 36 more to come of more importance!

 

[BigBlueConk]

Both teams have arguably a poor defence.
Depends who gets picked of course.

Could be a lot of goals in this one.

0-0 then.

Yep - it's the blue one I'm afraid

As it should be.

We stand half a chance without that lodge kit.

If I were Leeds I'd be VERY wary of this game today.

Benitez has their number; he'll set up very compact; Bielsa will feel the need to go out and get the 3 points after last weeks mauling by United; we have the pace to hurt them when the push onto us.

2-0 Leeds. Fear for our bottlers in an away game with a big atmosphere.

 

[Michaelcoyb]

Will have to sit in if we hope to get anything. I think Leeds will have too much though with the crowd. Leeds 3 - 2 Le speciale blues

It depends on the mentality of our players and if they can cope with the pressure and atmosphere. I'm not sure they will cope well.
