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

[Rita_Poon]

"taken till the 87th minute for a little bit of quality from Everton"

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Where was this the previous 87 minutes?

 

[billybeeru]

We still can't take a proper free kick.

 

[Paul E]

Any pre-season optimism gone.

 

[matty1878]

Moyes came for the 0-0 and nearly got it

he didn’t kev he came to do his best

 

[Bedfordblue]

Should beaten these never mind try to nick a draw.
They were woeful in the first 1/2 and we still them look like Brazil.

These won’t win another game before Dec.

 

[daza_1973]

Brighton will be licking their lips

 

[matty1878]

Any pre-season optimism gone.

again for you not me

 

[Lob]

How Beto got 86 minutes with the way he played is absolutely beyond me.

 

[Jamiednm]

This is all down to Alcaraz. He is gash.

It's on Gana for going backwards when we had plenty of options to go forward. Unnecesarily played backwards. Typical negative crap.

All on the recruitment team this one…..

It is shocking that we are starting the first game of the season with an average central midfielder playing at left back for the first time in his career and are still relying on a central defender at right back. The left back they did buy is clearly not ready for first team football and we have a none playing captain on the bench (much as I’ve loved Coleman over the years).

 

[formerly manx toffee]

We have been better in the second half. Nowhere near enough though

 

[Mickey]

We deserve nothing..

Yep fair play to Leeds they battered us first half we've not done enough.

 

[Bob Latchford]

The ref has favored Leeds as far as fouls are concerned.

He’s given very little of the niggly ones our way.

 

[Frenk]

Moyes is a disgrace for this. I feel he threw the game to make a point. I know you can’t prove it but the way he started was shocking.
