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

Why have we no full backs?

Can’t say I’m surprised at this. We were awful in pre season and nothing has changed.

Some heads need to roll.

 

[ValBlue]

Genuinely shocking. It’s like watching Dyche again. When we very rarely get the ball in their half, we look absolutely clueless, it’s like we have no intention to score.

Wrong team, changes needed at half time. Garner doing a decent job and left back and JOB holding on. Need to get the ball to Ndiaye more. We’ve reverted back to Long Ball FC

 

[f.t.r.s]

Really poor first half....

I get we're lacking one or two players...

I get Keane forces us to defend yen yards further back compared to jarrad....

But the thing thats stood out to me and is totally unforgivable is the lack of sharpness...

Leeds are first to every ball...

A better side and we'd be behind now....

Massive improvement needed second half

 

[maccavennie]

Pitiful performance that. Regardless of that makeshift defence, wtf has Moyes worked on with the shape of that midfield, in particular Hall and Ndiaye absolutely dreadful

 

[Lob]

For all Leeds possession and 12 shots, they have only had one shot on target and no clear cut chances so we sort of got away with it that half. Got to make changes and do better in the second half. That was terrible for a PL team.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

What's wrong with Aznou? Injured?

 

[davek]

Embarrassing that.

Leeds are a poor team and we've been far too respectful of them.

 

[Whatson]

The only thing I’d say we did well was weathering the atmosphere.

Changes needed or we’ll get nothing from this.

 

[Frenk]

Moyes can go do one with that, as somebody said it’s like he making a statement to the board. If he is he can go do one.

 

[Librarian]

Minutes in the legs?

 

[PercyPlant]

????

The irony is. After all of the fune we will win this, which is the first time we’ve won an away game since Ancelotti and the first time we’ve done it in front of a crowd since Smith. @ me

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Hope this loosens the purse strings. Changes needed everywhere.

 

[banno]

Why play out from the back when the end result is a hoof ball and losing possession, over and over again.
Awful 1st half

 

[Barrowjohn]

Well second half cant be as bad as that surely. Terrible first half.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

With so many players out of position and no chemistry, it will be rough unless Ndiaye pulls it together. Might be his worst half as an Everton player yet. We need him to come big and help us get into their half more consistently.
