Swap out the name Beto with DCL and that was what tonight was. It’s the strategy used by Dyche from August through sacking. Curious it didn’t work tonight.
I stand by this, a no preseason Grealish with his enormous experience is 100% match ready and is better as a player than anyone on Leeds. He should’ve been a no brainer starter.
We are never getting relegated this season. Not even close. Competing for Europe may be tough. We’ll be fine. We expected and deserved better tonight, that’s all.
Since 2022, Sunderland, who have been in the Championship for 8 years, have won more premier league games in August than Everton have.
Can’t believe the Friedkin’s will be at all impressed by how this summer has panned out so far.
If the ball came to Beto and he missed the contested header, play over. If he won it, triple-teamed and loss of possession. That’s all that happened with Beto tonight.
I normally stick up for Beto.
But that was one half arsed performance.
Even if you are not playing well just be a bloody nuisance.
Rough them up a bit.
In his defence he was isolated most of the time.
Dont think Moyes rates him so cant see him...
I think he has better choices insofar who he chooses to start and who comes in as subs. Ambition sometimes means faith and rolling the dice a little. I think he has good players and he’s choosing to ease them in. I don’t think Leeds would’ve had...
I get that it's a difficult place to go and that the Leeds crowd are vociferous etc.
But we weren't particular creative, to say the least.
Hopefully things will improve once Grealish is sharp.
Moyes is a dinosaur.
Boot camp in Italy was his stock in trade first time around - players spewing up with exhaustion.
He's just not cut out for the modern world of coaching.
That'd be bad enough, but now he seems to believe he's...
