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

[Victus]

awful. truly awful

 

[Tramps_mate]

Has beto touched the ball?

 

[bullybeef]

We aren't competing for anything here, Beto is 17 foot tall and hasn't won a header yet.

He’s been awful.
Looks disinterested.

Hope he gets punted for Barry.

 

[danny=)]

beto, barry, dcl, lukaku, rooney, shearer, messi
it doesnt matter who we have upfront when we play like that. its an impossible job

 

[Drico]

out worked us, and out worked us and out worked us.

Zero desire, and even less effort.

That's not really acceptable on opening night - or any night.

 

[Miked1e]

Grealish must come on at half time

 

[Thomasc]

The game's here to be won.

Get Barry on for Beto, push Ndiaye inside and get Grealish on.

Don’t disagree but we are lucky to still be in it.

 

[donny]

Yeah probably his worst half of league football for us here I think.

Repeat nobody to pass to

 

[davek]

Grubby moyes 1-0 win please

That would be my guess at the outcome.

We've been poor that half but Leeds never looked a threat despite the possession and last third dominance.

Moyes needs to seize this chance.

 

[Groucho]

Leeds 0 Tourist Fc 0.
The season preparation was stellar. 10 portions of Temesta every day and then a 20 hours of sleep...

Tourist FC?

 

[rochdaleblue]

Garner looks scared to death at left back.
Well out of his depth.
How has it come to this?

Because we had a manager who saw fit to play him there, when no one else did.

 

[Houghty19]

Poor all over the pitch KDH looks uninterested, rest of midfield unable to get hold of any second balls balls played across back painfully slow giving Leeds time to close them down. Think O'Brien has done well against gnonto who never looks like getting past him. Changes required at half time but we don't have enough on the bench to make the changes necessary.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

It looked like in that 45 mins everyone had a free role because of the amount of time players looked out of position.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Got to come out flying now.

flying is hard with no wings...

 

[Simon Buttle]

Why is anyone surprised by this performance. Our pre season was shocking. But have faith lads, be positive. If we nick this 1-0 everyone will be happy. We have no recognised full backs and missing our first choice CB

None of that has anything to do with the Dyche-esq long balls and backwards passing, its hopeless and against a newly promoted team. Not good enough imo.
