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

They wanted it more - can’t be having that - they look way fitter.

They got their luck.

Can have any complaints.

They did lots of running with no great effect. Pure adrenaline. They will struggle this year on that performance.

 

[summerisle]

Unacceptable and grim.

*commences gorging on chocolate cake.

 

[Groucho]

Maybe he means happy

I think not.

If so he needs an up to date dictionary.

 

[jonnyg]

Goal entirely our own fault.
Didn't start with our strongest 11.
Refused to attack in the 1st half.

An Everton classic.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We repeatedly fail to prioritise being ready for the season. We can have no complaints that our record in August is so bad.

 

[MisterJ]

Well, another dodgy decision goes against us.

What really annoys is that we still can't string 3 passes together without giving the ball away.

And why are we always second to the ball whenever it breaks free, it's so annoying to watch it bounce around and then be picked up by the opposition every time

 

[rochdaleblue]

Didn’t deserve a thing

We didn’t. But you also expect officials to do their job.

 

[Liam-EFC]

Message to the board or something

Silly way to get a message across.

Could easily whatsapp Friedkin i’d imagine haha

 

[RomanReigns]

Screwed over by the ref

 

[Tipp blue]

It was a pen because the ref gave it, but pen it was not by the rules! His arm was not in an unnatural position was harsh!

Could anyone imagine that being given against a top side? 100000000000000000000000000000 out of 100000000000000000000000000000 its never given against any of the awesome 6 sides.

Simply never a penalty.

Poor from us but most people could have predicted it after our awful pre season and an unbalanced squad.

Need to get players in urgently. Another one of many disappointing seasons ahead.

For what it’s worth, through Leeds were awful as well which just makes it worse.

 

[BigBeto1]

Leeds deserved that but absolutely shocking penalty decision. Can’t believe how easily the commentators brushed over such a poor decision. Where are players supposed to put their arms

 

[D410]

Ref was really poor but we didn't do enough to deserve something.

An absolute nightmare summer for the club and that means everyone.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Saw nothing from Leeds there that suggests they wont struggle by the way. Very, very average if that's anywhere near their best effort.

 

[Grfirestorm]

Leeds did nothing in the second half, we were comfortable if creating not a lot but that penalty was a joke.
