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

[BramleyMoore2024]

Just can’t see where the goals are coming from, but unfortunately Leeds do create, and I think that will be the difference. Unfortunately 2-0 Leeds

 

[Caolam]

Tomorrow is as important as it gets in terms of a single game. Can this team replicate the form of Arsenal or will they continue down the road of ineptitude and incompetence. Lose tomorrow and, while I fully accept there is an awful long way to go, it will be very difficult to save ourselves, even with a win it will still be difficult.
I think we will win 1-0, can’t see us getting 2 goals in the one game so if Leeds score the best we can hope for is a draw. Playing without a forward line makes life very difficult. All down to the Board.

 

[Billy Dean]

I wonder if Dyche fancies doing a Warhurst, Dublin or a Sutton and puts Mina or Keane up front. Keane has scored a few and Mina could be used as a huge slab of hurt.

In yesterday's presser Dyche took the mickey out of a hack suggesting that, so it's probably unlikely

The only hurting Mina can inflict is to himself though.

BIG MICK KEGGERS HOWEVER

I think whoever loses this game tomorrow is really going to struggle to stay up. A proper 6 pointer.

So naturally I am predicting a 1-1 draw.

 

[LucBesson]

Pickford
Coleman Mina Tarks Myko
Iwobi Onana Gana McNeil
Gray Maupay

I'd go with that. Obviously worked against Arsenal but can't keep Gray out of the side any longer. One of very, very few players on our books with a goal in him and we need them desperately.

 

[Groucho]

A must win if ever there was.

 

[Everton Enthusiast]

Welcome to the 20th must-win game of the last two seasons.

 

[knowing your history]

Maupay is no good as the lead striker, I'd actually keep Simms in and have Maupay dropping into midfield area just off him. Gray will surely return on the left.

Hard to see a win unless the defence is very good as Gnotto for them will create stuff against Coleman.

1-1 type of game I think.

 

[RomanReigns]

Welcome to the 20th must-win game of the last two seasons.

nice to be in multiple cup finals over the last couple of years

 

[Sadken]

If Leeds attack like they did at old Trafford I can only see a Leeds win, it's not like we can hit them on the break cos we got no pace.

 

[davek]

Bamford is crap but I’d have him up front ahead of what our options are. The thing about Leeds is they are fast and furious, and keep chasing and pressing. The shower currently wearing royal blue don’t. No way we win this game.

I think we will win it. We drew away to a better Leeds team with a less organised Lampard outfit this season.

Yes, they've got some lively attackers, and we need to defend the way we did against Arsenal and wait our chance.

Let Leeds have the ball and we can craft a few chances. It'll be won in midfield and ours is better than theirs.

what if they attack like they did against newcastle?

 

[davek]

The inflation of that atrocious Leeds team on here is laughable.

If we get out tactics and motivation right we can make short work of these like we did to a much better Leeds team last season at Goodison.

 

[royalbalou]

I'd put Godfrey in purely because of his tenacity and go 442

Pickford
Godfrey Mins Tarkovski Mykolenko
Iwobi Onana Gana McNeil
Gray Simms(Maupay)

We need 3 points so one up top isn't the answer ... although that team still looks short of goals
