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

Don Carlo better not. Olsen showed the composure that Pickford hasn't been able to do so this season.

Very true Sassy, I suspect the defenders pick up on that as well! Fingers crossed Carlo does the right thing on Saturday!

Let's hope we keep it going. The next two are United and Liverpool.

Haha, excellent point! Liverpool wobbling at home, and all...

i did not enjoy that at all in the second half. Decided not to drink then realised why i have to drink,. Now cant drink watching us ever again (until we lose next). had to go and wash up with 15mins left and keep poking my head around the door to check the score. didnt realise i had anxiety issues

Same here had to put my head outside to get some air three times in the last 15 minutes. Missed DCLS 1 on 1.

I wonder if we feel obliged to carry on playing Pickford in the hope that someone will pay good money for him. If we drop him permanently, he'll be worthless (like kepa).

Speaking of whom - he’s prob going to end 4th with the toffees back in 5th. The only saving grace is the way he still approaches games against the ‘big 4/6’

He's doing well. Still wouldn't want him here

Mogadishu was a city full of misery and i wanted to follow a team that made that feel relatively good

Lucky you that Everton could provide such comfort feeling for you then. Do you have any regrets about the suffering they have given you ever since?

Okay I won't ask but then tell me how does someone living in South Africa becomes an Everton fan?

I watch my first world cup. It was 1990 and Colombia had not participated in a while so everyone was glued to the TV. I watch every single match, not just Colombia's, and then I was sold. I realized that I enjoy the game and watching footballers play it

Its a great memory hey.. think most of us (especially those that live further afield) can remember when we "knew"..

I had the Shoot Annual 1984 with a pic of the Everton team holding silverwear.. double page spread.. somehow I knew by then (although I cant remember watching any footie prior to getting the mag) but I kept looking at it over and over for weeks learning the players names, but it was sealed in the 1985 FA Cup final v Man U... Best team in the country.. Man U horrible cheating bunch have a player sent off .. we still lose. Everton for life!

West Ham 2 up. Ffs moyes

Credit to Moyes , he has absolutely turned them around

Good performance tonight didnt fancy us at all.
Some really gritty performances out there, Godfrey, MOM , keeper did well , most of the others even the ones I normally moan about siggy and Gomes ,.
That pitch was a mistake waiting to happen .

The pitch was an absolute joke. Great 3 points though.
A Lifetime of supporting Everton was encapsulated into 95 minutes there.
I think I went through every single emotion. My stream died with 30 minutes remaining. I went outside listening to the rest on commentary (which I hate doing) I smoked 4 cigs in those 30 minutes . . . . . . . . . . and I usually only smoke about 6 a day.

United's away record is far better than their home record too.

Seems to be a trend this season.

You mean his default setting. Anything other than today is the aberration.

Thought he and the team had a fantastic 1st half.Great effort from the boys great win.Some of the comments on here 2nd half border on the ridiculous including yours.

 

[MACCA75]

not switching on at kick off half time needs to be sorted out though

And in the first half. Leeds and Newcastle won corners against us inside a minute.

 

[Coggy]

Deffo a bit of a headache for Carlo, Keane has been our best centre - half this season, Godfrey deserves to keep his place in the middle, Mina been really good of late and brilliant tonight, rather Carlo than me to sort that one out.

What a great problem to have - for once !

Amazing what an equaliser fans, or a lack thereof, are.

Perhaps but that would be a sorry excuse. It would be more profitable gaining an European spot than keeping Pickford for the sake of getting good money.
