I will say until my final breath that it should go purely on the position of the furthest forward foot. If I'm stood completely level with someone and they are just leaning forward they are not ahead of me they are just postured differently.

How do you "fall to" a draw away from home against a team in better form with more points?

Put your thinking cap on.

Plucky relegation candidates snatch lucky draw against better team?

Also we went up in the table from the result, so again, where is the fall?

Just report the facts. Everton drew away to leeds with a goal by Gordon cancelled out in the second half.

FFS what are you defending Kopite trash for`?

You might not be aware, but all journalists slightly sensationalise football results more than "Team A drew with Team B"... Don't get why you're crying over this?

Decent defensive performance, we looked better with 4 at the back. But overall we weren't good enough, made Leeds look like Barca at times. At no time did we ever have control against a v poor team. Is Lampard plan to run the remaining midfielder into the ground with no help from the bench.
Offensively this is not viable long term, we cannot rely on Gordon to slip down the inside channel and score a every game.

 

[bitter-no-better]

these first 10 games we need to scrape as many points as possible. We hardly drew any games last season.

If we are 10 points from 10 games we will have done well and hopefully can push on better for the games upto the world cup break.

Win a couple of games and stop giving journalists a reason to stick the knife in

Not difficult is it?

First 5 games last season, 4 wins, 5 goals conceded, 12 goals scored. First 5 games this season, no wins, 6 goals conceded, 4 goals scored.

Lol.

We are looking 100% better than last season's shi.show. We had no idea away (and only a modicum of one at home). We at least look like we know what we're doing (Patterson, defence, Alex, Gordon)

Gordon will help keep us out of the drop zone and, with an improved side, we ought to be able to rebuild carefully if he goes (next summer). Without him we're limited in terms of skill. Need DCL fit up front to add a few goals .. but, few points though we have, I am much happier than I was from October-May last season.

But as for Maupay:

Friday lunchtime is deadline for signings eligible for Saturday but Saturday is not the deadline for signings eligible for Monday (or even Tuesday if a Bank Holiday falls on a Monday). COMPLETE NONSENSE.

Granted the Monday should fall part of a fixture weekend (Monday Night Football) as the timing of the game is down to Television scheduling. But this is pure nonsense in the same way that DG's arm is offside even when his arm is not permitted to play a football under the Laws of the Game - except, like the Closed FA Headquarters.. when it does apply

And, Everton That.. no one was surprised when the flag went up, when NP missed a golden chance.. it's what we do.

Positives: Patterson, Defence, Onana, Gray lasting the full 90, Gordon (if he's still a Blue in 48 hours time..)

I agree, what I mean though is that it’ll be hard to consistently pick up points in the run coming up, and there are definitely harder games than others. That said I really hope you’re proven right and I’m wrong, I think I still have last season’s nerves

lol we all do mate i’m sure tho and can see it theres fight in us

I thought the attacking team were gonna get the benefit of the doubt?

Why is the prevailing narrative that Leeds are amazing? Finished lower than us last season.
