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

[Fonzy]

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

Because we signed a LB who is too raw to play…

 

[witchdoc187]

We've been poor obviously. But it's nil nil they've created nothing.

 

[Zeke]

Wow….i certainly haven’t missed that type of display from us at all….please god let us just somehow nick something out this game!

 

[Lob]

Did anyone see that? Everton retweeting Leeds tweet about dominating and positivities. What is that all about ffs.

They have deleted it now but i took a screenshot before they did.

 

[bullybeef]

Leeds look like a cohesive team.

We look like a bunch of strangers who just met after a night out on the ale

 

[Evano]

2 keepers and onyango in bench
That’s a disgrace

Why is it a disgrace to have Onyango on the bench

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

I don’t fault anyone for effort in that half, and the shocking touches from Beto and Charly probably a product of snatching at what little bits of the ball they saw.

Get Grealish and on, ride out another eager 5-10 from Leeds and they’ll be there for the taking. Chuck Barry on after 60 unless Beto has pulled his finger out. There’s power in taking their best without conceding and then chucking on class players/eager beavers who will terror their defence.

 

[lieneverton]

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.

Wouldn't go that far, there were a lot of dangerous moments. But I take your point they've not missed a sitter or anything.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Looks like the only change is DCL for Beto

 

[Mashtray]

Their press is quite rabid. I'd avoid trying to be too cute at the back

 

[nsno_traditionally]

Well at least we're not under performing our Xg, positive one for the stat nerds.

 

[Gerbs]

Grealish alone doesn't change this

No but moving kdh into tims spot could and moving alcaraz to 10. We need to find a way to grab control of the game

 

[atrottel]

Of course, in an alternate universe we would have been given the corner and scored from it.

Never mind, Barry, Grealish and, err, Seamus for the second half?

 

[lungo]

Absolutely no positives, at all, from that farce. We are way off it and clearly nowhere near ready for the season. We look a team of strangers and that's on Moyes.

The preparation was abmysal. Moyes still after 30 years hasnt a clue how to prepare a season.

 

[WilliamBoo]

Grealish should be asking himself what have I done to deserve this
