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

why couldn't kavanaugh have done what cootes did



oh right, he's a red

 

[TheNinja]

Opposition tactics v Everton... Press them like crazy, they simply can't handle it. In turn, they don't press so we'll have a load of space.

 

[MikeH72]

Leeds will be right down there this season. We have thrown points for not being ready. When we become more balanced we will improve

I’m sorry, what specifically about the performance and strategy of this recruitment team so far makes you think we will create a balance team? We’ve signed 3 number 10s, two bum keepers who will never see the pitch and NOBODY who can play on the right hand side in any capacity.

 

[Victus]

We need the relegation thread

 

[Miked1e]

Let’s see what the pre season guys have to say hey….. what’s that 7 games since we have come back from the off season…. Something like 5 goals and 2 goals from open play…..

We needed signings…. We needed it early…. We have done f all and are going to be scrambling now.

Southampton are rubbing their hands whilst we go back to them with our balls tucked between our legs

Beto was terrible

 

[Bedfordblue]

I’ll make my apologies after the game if it’s turns out Aznou isn’t injured, but if he’s not I’d be absolutely astounded. Why would Moyes leave out of the squad the only left back we have if he were fit to play?

I’m not a Moyes apologist, mind you and am really quite worried of Beto has to be the starting #9.

Even McNeil at left back if he wanted to insist on a back 4, but surely he could have gone 3 / 5 at the back and played O’Neil on the left and Garner on the right.
Positions both have played before.

 

[JJK]

Truly dreadful performance, result and tactics. Shocking, every last one of them.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Why are we the only ones that can see that isn't a penalty? Is it the promotion team love fest? I'm baffled.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

No natural full backs and that's what you get. And Beto and Keane and....

Keane was fine

 

[Fedlingen]

Two substitutions, one at 70' and one at 85' tells you all you need to know really.

We are so thin in almost every position.

God damn embarrassing at this point.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Booooo!

Losing to that rubbish. The team should be ashamed of themselves.

Only 37 games to go at least.

I mean, the squad is so thin. I don’t think you can really blame the players, to be honest. It’s just unfortunate.

We are well short and need to bring some players in.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Absolute joke that. Might not be his fault that he is so short of players, nor that a penalty was incorrectly given, but Moyes was shocking tonight.

Wrong line up. Went to play for a nil nil. Didn't start Grealish when we were lacking so much elsewhere. Left it until the 70th minute to then bring him on. Only made 2 subs when Leeds made 5. You cannot do that in the modern game, even if you don’t have quality. The Last fella couldn't grasp this and Moyes needs to learn this quickly.

 

[CielosGrises]

Got that early feeling of the Everton doom cycle - we blame the manager when the club and recruitment has been as ordinary as ever.

 

[Ring master]

Didnt do enough to win. Better 2nd Hlaf. Robbed by a hell of a bad call by VAR. 100% next week we dont get that if same incident happened
