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

[PG70]

Level with Man Utd.

 

[Smurph]

Where else could him arm be though?

I mean I don’t think it was a pen either.

 

[roy vernon]

Very flat performance. The only plus point for me, was that Garner looked ok at left back. Very debatable penalty, but, we deserved nothing from the game.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Poor all round but should still have took a point...

Genujne question, has the standard of officials ever been so poor?

Even with all the extra tools they've missed a clear corner and give a shocking penalty. Which i guarantee we won't see given again this season.

The RS never got a free kick for clear hand ball so they where equaling it out

 

[witchdoc187]

Can now

Can't now

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Plenty to moan about there. Going to try and find some positives, but it might take a while. I'll check back later.

We'll look a lot better in time. Pretty much guaranteed.

 

[Verbal Kint]

The fact that they won with a dodgy penalty will disguise the fact that Moyes and his tactical decisions in that first half absolutely atrocious, no other word for it. And to spend money on a striker and have him watch Beto and his hold up play tells me something about Thierno Barry ( he must be gash)

Really disappointed in that performance. The result was just about deserved from a very very poor side. And that's the worst part of it

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

He was slipping all game,especially alot more in the 2nd half. But it was a high risk ball to play to play into him

He can’t receive a football. No idea whether he has time or is about to be smashed by 4 players. Been like that every time he has played. Rushes when he has time and gets caught dawdling when he hasn’t. It’s a relief when he just pops it off to JOB. And in that case he shouldn’t be one of our attackers until he sorts it out. Especially annoying because he could be great.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Tarkowski shouldn’t have moved toward the ball, to be honest. Gave them all the excuse they needed.

 

[yarablue1994]

Moyes set us up for a smash and grab. Soak pressure in the first half and try to catch them off guard in the second. Only problem is we don’t have any competent players to generate any opportunities.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Charlie looked more and more like Doucoure as the game went on.

Yeah - I thought he was terrible tonight and a reason why we struggled so much going forward.

I know he has better in him. But he was poor tonight

 

[Street end man]

Get Chang back, grovel if you have to.
We've been sh1te since they left.

 

[ObiWanIwobi]

So Moyes has nothing to do with the players he has to pick from AND nothing to do with how they perform? FFS, what is he paid for? Its not his great substitutions and upbeat personality

Hyperbole. Not sure I’ve said anywhere that he has nothing to do with who gets picked. My point was the use of the word disgrace was extreme, IMO. What was disgraceful was the first half performance. I put the players primarily at fault for that. No way that was the performance Moyes asked for in the first 45z

 

[pfim]

If that's the standard for handball this season, then fine. But it won't be.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Not surprised, this club has always been crap and will always continue to be crap.

Next year it will be 5 year since we won and opening game in the Premier League.

New stadium means Jack if you are plying like that and getting beat so comfortably, debate the penalty all you want but if you are letting teams have 20 odd shots on your goal you are asking for trouble.

Got what we deserved at the end of the day.
