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

[Hafnia Blue]

I was calling this a 1-1 a few days ago but frankly a bit of 'Everton that' has crept in and now I would be very happy with a 1-1 point away from home.

Yeah I'd be happy with a draw.. They will deffo score. Score Draw prediction is probably spot on.

Our defense will be too good for them and we'll sneak a cheeky goal. They're really not up to much and will struggle all season.

Has Moyses’ mole got any early team news I wonder?

 

[CielosGrises]

DCL will score right ?

 

[McCall2Radzinski]

Must win comfortably above expectations. Set the tone for a new season and new era at a new stadium.

Bang in 3 and keep a clean sheet!

 

[Pootsy]

Mad to see we are still using the same defence as last year.

Our defence was the joint 4th best in the league last year?

 

[Toffeelover]

More in attack now but less solid in defence We can't have it all can we ?

A score draw maybe.

Strange situation where we are using our 3rd choice CB as RB - so play 4th choice CB.

Hopefully Moyes allows for Keanes limitations in tactics.

Haha.

DCL will score right ?

If he gets on, its highly likely. Hopefully it will only be a consolation

Is anyone else listening on radio this evening? And would you like to share the updates in this thread if so?

Opening match nerves starting to kick in. COYB.

Think it's highly dependent on 1st goal, if we get it and slow it down and quiet crowd, I think can win. If we avoid just hoofing ball to Beto, I think we'll be able to get a result.

India used to be a British colony. I'd imagine somewhere down the line someone from Yorkshire has been to India and the phrase has come about?

Many ex-colonies, including India and "Ceylon" grow tea. The big producer who does, but was not a colony, is China (except for a bit, Hong Kong). Anyway, according what you say, then there should be Lancashire Tea, Cheshire Tea, Scottish Tea, Welsh Tea, etc, etc, etc. The thing about this Yorkshire Tea thing is that they imply and say (and I have heard it personally) that somehow Yorkshire Tea is the best, the real thing.

Hoofing it with Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall and Grealish in the side really, to me, ought to be contract termination-worthy unless it's an emergency and goal-saving hoof. But yeah, Tarkowski and Keane aren't exactly known for their slick passing.
