Match Thread Leeds 1-0 Everton, Mon 18 Aug, 8.00pm

[Toffe3m4n]

Got an alternative XI based on Branthwaite being out and Grealish potentially getting the nod to start: -

Pickford

Garner -- O'Brien -- Tarkowski -- Aznou

KDH --------- Gana

Alcaraz ------- Grealish ------- Ndiaye

Beto
.​

 

[FTY]

Will be the 3421 we used on the US tour, with McNeil LWB and Coleman or Patterson RWB. Ndiaye and KDH split #10s

Hopefully it works like it did in the first half against Bournemouth, and not like it did literally any other minute we used it in pre season

Might as well give them the 3 points if we play with 3 CBs, we can't play it

I agree but I doubt he'll throw Aznou in

Genuinely think he may have played Branthwaite there, but now he's injured I think Aznou might get the nod

Dont rule out Coleman at LB btw, he came him 10mins or so there against Roma.

I'd like to see McNeil there as a straight LB tbh

Anyone have the bookmaker odds on dcl + keane anytime goal scorer?

Think it will be.

O'brien, Tarkovski, Keane,McNeil
Garner, Gana
KDH, Grealish, Ndiaye
Beto

3 at the back when attacking. Without the ball McNeil to tuck in and Ndiaye to support.

(This is if Myko and Bran out inured)

 

[Tommy Chong]

Let’s give these clowns a rude awakening back into the PL!
I’m going for a 0-1, or 1-2 win.

COYB!

That right hand side is absolutely vile.

he’s so slow though, needs to be played higher up the pitch

Think it's been said Coleman has a thigh strain.

I fancy us for the win - we are the better side, after all. Given the circumstances, I wouldn't be disappointed with a draw. We really shouldn't be losing here, though.
