Match Thread Everton 1-1 Leeds. Mon Jan 26th. 8pm

Down to dithering Dave.

We'll never progress to where some of us think we could with the Moyesiah. Hopefully, we shake his hand and present him with a carriage clock engraved "Good times" come May.

Really the opposite of the Wolves game wasn’t it. Awful in the first half, Leeds should have been out of sight. But they left the door open and Everton found a way to battle back and equalize.

Glad to see Branthwaite and KDH back, that will be quite a lift.

Branthwaite and KDH changed the game.
Branthwaite because he allows us to play higher up the pitch and KDH because he was able to play between the lines and find the space.
Barry excellently taken goal and unlucky with his first time effort that the keeper got a hand too. Link up play needs to improve but this lads conversion rate, is good given the lack of chances that we create.
We need more pace and quality to push on from midtable.

He seems a nice lad too.

Nah - Moyes never learns. Next game, he looks at the setup and McNeil will be one of the first names on the sheet. It’s like he has amnesia of what actually happens when he plays McNeil in a match. Leeds were all over our right in the first half

Quite like 3 at the back

Me too...but dont get too used to it. Davey is not a big fan of all this sourcery and tomfoolery..he will have Keane back next week and normal business will be resumed...

Not a brilliant result but after the last few seasons, it's brilliant just to be chilled out about the league.

Strengthen in the Summer again and already looking forward to next season.

I went with Barry for MotM. But seeing the choices, I was also considering Barry.

James Justin bigging up KDH in the interview. Seems like a decent lad actually. Sign him.

But that draw will probably bite us in the bum when it comes to finishing top 6/7

It's not ideal, but we're a mid table side. We'll have good and bad results. I don't understand what people expect.

He’s splitting the vote!

It was definitely a toss-up between Barry and Barry.

I'm fairness that wasn't all down to McNeill, the American lad was dropping into holes created by an overload and Tarkowski wouldn't go with him, Patterson was forced to tuck in and McNeill was constantly 2 v 1....

It was down to us being set up like we never seen Leeds play these last 2 months. Horrifically bad management and tactics.

Played best last season when it was the hybrid system where O’Brien would come in and become an extra central defender which allowed us to push more men higher up the pitch.

 

[brittcop1]

Credit to Moyes , he changed the team and it changed the game. He gets a lot of stick for the 1st half and rightly so but he should get credit for that

I will give him credit for " trying"...he switched to wingbacks good...BUT then he left Mykelnko on while he had an actual bona fide wingback sitting on the bench the whole second half...too much change in one game is beyond Moyes apparently, so I will pass on the credit personally.

Well sad to say but I was right . Big let down once again, thanks lads
