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

[Daytripper]

If we set up to draw and avoid defeat, don't be surprised when it finishes 1-0.

Lack of ambition and very negative set up irrespective of injuries, hope we learn from it. Players as much to blame as Moyes, they managed to flip the attitude around at half time with no change in personnel or shape.

That said, hope it's a wake up call to the recruitment team we very clear need some width.

If they need a wake up call after all this time then they should not be there in the first place. All it would show is a very poor sense of foresight and initiative.

A rusty team and blaming one player for the defeat is ignoring the team's poor performance. And substitutions didn't work either.

 

[Cameron Manning]

His mam

Not even his mam would have the nerve to vote for him I don’t think he found a teammate all night with his passes and even his bleedin’ throw ins!

 

[marsh]

Different season, same old crap.

 

[Evermaarton]

Grealish didn't once lose the ball. He looks the real deal.

I agree. We did play terrible tonight but if we want to take something positive from tonight, its that both KDH and Grealish are both very good additions. Comfortable on the ball, exactly what we need.

Now to get a decent RW in and if possible a RB and an extra CM as well.

Surprised how many people saying it wasnt a pen. So many quick to jump on a refs back for doing his job. It was a pen he leaned into the ball that came from distance with his arm

Wish they'd just send the ref to the screen everytime there's a penalty shout, the time wasted would be about the same.

There's so many layers of incompetence to VAR I'd rather get it from the man himself.

I thought we had dyche in the dugout tonight

Total shi- show all round tonight.
And we knew it was coming , Moyes & the recruitment team have lots to answer that is unacceptable.
Leeds look awful which is actually worse , the ref and his linesmen were terrible.
All in all a bad night .

Of the players ( that looked clueless to the system played in the 1st half ) N'diaye done well without any help , Garner done ok in an unfamiliar role.
But Jake O’Brien marginally MOTM as a stand in RB up against 2 speed merchants done very well , pushed forward when he could too.

As an aside - Neville and Carragher there have us lower midtable this season with the likes of Wolves, West Ham & Brentford in trouble, along with the promoted three. Seems to be the general consensus across the footy punters from what ive been seeing.

I reckon, depending on when exactly we get our acts together, that a top half finish is very achievable.

 

[riddick]

Honestly, did anyone expect anything differently? Moyes "has always been an extremely slow starter". In other words, he, like a lot of people here, don't care about any result until after the window closes. Crap defeatist attitude but I'm not running the show.

It’s not illegal to lean bud

He’s a defender, he’s meant to get his body in front of the ball

His arms are by his side in a natural position

Plus ça change...

I think we need two or three new players in for Sunday to expect anything different from tonight’s really dire and embarrassing performance.

Omg...even if that happens, no way Moyes plays them
