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

[brieverton]

An away draw is in probably 70% of cases a decent result for Everton.

It always depends on the context of the game itself of course but right now I'd be happy to take a point.

Think it will be a very tough night for us and will be under pressure. Keeping it tight for the first twenty minutes or better still going in front would be great.

I've already said that I think we might lose this so repeating that in the hope I'm wrong twice over.

Many ex-colonies, including India and "Ceylon" grow tea. The big producer who does, but was not a colony, is China (except for a bott, 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.

Fair enough. Thanks for elaborating.

Always expect the worst, hope for the best. With Everton its the hope that kills you.

That is not the way I view Everton games, nor indeed life itself, mate.

For the sake of fans and this upcoming season, really really need a win, but we are in a tough spot missing Branthwaite and Myko. Even if Myko is playing hes limited due to the injury. I really do think the key today is going to come down to an attacker just putting in a performance, making a goal out of little. Someone needs to step up and just make the plays that show while you can match two teams on paper, sometimes talent just elevates in a couple of key moments.

This could go well, could go very badly, likely is in between. But please dont lose...

Any recommended bets for tonight’s game?

Keane to score and be carded

 

[Hafnia Blue]

Keane to score an own goal and be carded for it

Fixed.

 

[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!

Hopeless.

 

[Yarrgh]

I think Grealish bench and Charly on the right

I could even see Grealish and Charly start with no Beto. Though I don't think that Moyes would roll those dice.

It might be the 4th cup of coffee but I am buzzing for this today.

Keane to score and be carded

Good shout lad!

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

"Insanity is doing the same thing over again and again."

Frank Lampard
Sean Dyche

I've always found this Yorkshire tea thing strange. Tea doesn't grow there. It must be from India or Sri Lanka, possibly Africa?

I think it's a specialised blend initially created to compliment the local water in Yorkshire. Same with Manchester tea and all the others.

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

Leeds to be awarded a Pen

 

[CielosGrises]

Clean sheet and a narrow win would be great

 

[Nymzee]

Be absolutely buzzing with a point here. They're amazing.

Tough always first game at a team come up but keep hold the ball try keep the crowd quiet or hopefully grab early goal. Myko injury a worry because aznou defensively at this stage would worry is alot of pressure. But with hopefully ndiaye grealish both sides is enough quality. Should really help beto\ barry more
