Match Thread Everton 1-1 Leeds. Mon Jan 26th. 8pm

[Clarky cat]

Making it look like he made an effort

That’s what his fans will tell you. Runs around but only really puts the effort in when he is trying to close the goalkeeper down.

 

[Obes]

State of McNeil for their goal. Slow and didn’t want to match Justin’s run.

No one wants it. Someone needs to at least lay one on a Leeds player second half.

 

[Jamiednm]

Half time report from the Everton dressing room: Someone has stolen James Tarkovski’s underpants and they’re all pissing about, lobbing them at each other to keep them away from the Everton captain.

No changes for the second half.

 

[the golden visionary]

I blame the wind.

Them pies are dodgy like

 

[blueblood]

Gana off, KDH on, drop Armstrong back next to Garner. I’d haul Mykolenko and McNeil off for Aznou and Dibling as well but he won’t do that.

 

[daza_1973]

Absolutely shambolic performance at home, get it sorted Moyes, you’re being outwitted.

By the missing link

 

[Everton1654]

So Illy was fouled and it should not have been a goal...

No chance that's a foul

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Mcneill isn't great full stop but he absolute can't play on the right that's on moyes, there are other options, gana starting was a ridiculing shout too

He has zero pace

Useless at anything that involves running

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Binning off the second half...not worth it.

 

[matty1878]

McNeil for their goal, Jesus.

the whole team

we’ve been dog and cat and horse doo doo

 

[when i score we riot]

We watch teams like Leeds, all pushing and shoving, clever shirt pulls the ref doesn’t see, claiming for throws that clearly aren’t theirs, captain screaming at the ref and we think eeeeuuuurrrgh horrible.

Wish we would play like that. Not a chance the miniscule bits of quality we have can come to the fore when we are so passive and limp.

Most teams now play with aggression and close down at maximum speed. We have had red cards for ponytail pulling, clapping the ref, and slapping a teammate.

True that! We are consistently getting out-fought at home. Newcastle, Spurs, Sunderland.

I'd settle for just their interplay in the last third, frankly.

Var reviews every goal so I doubt it

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Ili wanting a foul for an elbow in the face, goes down holding his lower back. It’s not his game, but has to be stronger there. If he’d have jumped and challenged for the ball he would have got the free kick.

 

[TrixyStevens]

Changes needed at start of 2nd half, no excuses.
