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

[R.Reddington]

Would have liked to see Nkounkou and Gordon, we need pace against this Leeds side

Yep. At least Gordon on the bench with Nkounkou starting. He probably doesn’t trust Nkounkou after that Newcaslte performance but that was down to his terrible team selection. Davies can’t play LWB for 2-3 months.

Shot fired at Gylfi Delph and Gomes though for not even getting a sniff

 

[Carloblues]

Apart from Davies which is odd that's a sound team and love the captain to holgate

The bench though, doesn't give you a good feeling being a youngster at Everton at the minute

 

[GwladysBlue]

Absolute nonsense

Come off it. This was Nkoukou’s chance and he’s completely taken it away to play some bizarre line-up.

The fella’s tactics have been highly questionable for at least six weeks now.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Mad if it turns out that Davies was a RWB this whole time.

 

[Zezti]

Unfortunate for Niels.

 

[Nymzee]

Raphina is going to bum us down the left can see it now.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Can Davies play RWB?

Has done before off the bench

 

[kenada_blue]

3-5-2 maybe?

I think so.

Shot fired at Gylfi Delph and Gomes though for not even getting a sniff

I doubt it mate they will get loads of game time in the coming months with the fixture list. Which is sickening.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

The team is fine given we need energy and both fullbacks are out. Calm down.

Exactly. Davies possibly the only surprise along with Nkounkou missing from the entire squad.

Calm the F down you bedwetters.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Ancelotti’s treatment of younger players like Nkoukou and Gordon is not good enough.

Maybe they’re not good enough yet? He’s seeing them in training every week.

 

[Evri]

So...Davies and Iwobi as fullbacks, absolutely no youth on the bench. Niels Kenny and Gordon must be fuming. Very odd.

Wake up mate , Carlo and youth doesn’t go well together
this is what’s piss me the most , what kind of message are he is sending to his players .... if I am Brands I would ask myself for what I am signing young talents , would not be surprising if JJ Kenny require transfer in January

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Love Carlo but I think leaving Nkounkou out of the 18, in the first game of Digne’s extended absence, is really poor man management.

I could at least understand it if we had 6 boss outfielders on the bench but, well, we don’t.
