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

[ForeverEverton]

I have just read that we haven't won a game in August in the prem for the last four years, something is wrong at this club .

I probably wrote it, the great Rafael Benitez was the last manager to get us a win in August!!! It`s hilarious...

Just accept this club is crap, expect defeat every week and life is plain sailing.

Howard Webb will love that penalty decision, gives him the platform to create more garbage on the spot about the handball rule with that Idiot Michael Owen.

 

[Miked1e]

Mate. The point is he gave it as a pen with his eyeballs. That already decides it's fate. If he not given it it VAR wouldnt have overturned it either.

That ref is rat. Noways he could see whats happening through deflections and all those bodies

I am sure the analysis will show us the view of the ref

 

[BluePeadar]

The biggest revenge we could have on Leeds is sell them Beto

 

[carolinablue232]

Ref was bad. Everton were bad. So much help needed with not much time to get it done.

I expect to see several more hand ball pens this season if that’s the new bar.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Fairly sure Leeds had at least 3 shots on target out of a total of 21. We had nothing. We were rubbish in a game we should have won if we want to be moving forward.

Yes we were. But they were also crap and it should've been a bore draw were it not for a dubious penalty decision.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

He was one of the better players today!

Indeed

 

[ForeverEverton]

Who were the idiots in here telling me pre season didnt matter and how good Beto was??? GTF

 

[toffee66]

We were actually as bad as the ref and VAR and that is pretty much inexcusable levels of incompetence. We’d better get very busy in the transfer market but Moyes and the players we already have also need to be far, far better. Nothing really to add.

Just grim.

Our performance.

The standard this club has sunk to.

Modern football & referees.

Tough to pick MOTM. Don't think a single player played above a 5.

I actually enjoyed the summer because everton didnt play

 

[Saint Domingo]

Dycheball again, pathetic.

Dyche all, Koemanball, Allardyce ball, Silva ball, Moyes ball, it’s all the same, a team of one paced plodders who look half fit just booting it long to no one for the entirety of August.

Literally the only difference in the style of play at Everton early on in a season was for about 7 games under Ancelotti and then as soon as James went down he reverted to punt ball as well.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

First half was a debacle

Second half slightly less so

We deserved to lose and duly did

So sick of us essentially having to write off august every season because we never get business done in time
