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

[Mr PEN86]

Gana MoM for me, 2nd half he dug in and got around the pitch. Got an assist and a lick of paint from the winner. Moyes missed a trick not throwing Aznou on for 15 mins or so, Myko offers nothing as a WB. Always blow it when we have a chance of the Europe slots.

Aznou would've been a lot better in that position

James Justin bigging up KDH in the interview. Seems like a decent lad actually. Sign him.

We should have signed him when we had the chance

Yup we are, luckily scraped a draw. I personally think it'll be embarrassing going into Europe with this lot tbh.
But we should be blowing Leeds apart, they weren't great

We probably won't get Europe. The fact people are even talking of Europe shows the progress we've made

 

[lieneverton]

Actually thought Leeds deserved to win. Defensively they were very good

They're a different team to earlier in the season (which is concerning given they beat us in August). Aaronsen looks much improved, DCL fit and firing and some handy midfield players. Not surprised they've moved away from bottom 3 in last month or 2.

They'll be furious they didn't win given the gap between the teams first half.

So that is now Sunderland, wolves, Brentford, West Ham and Leeds that we have failed to beat at home this season

Just need to add Burnley to collection and we’ve done the full set

 

[Leylo]

On way home from game fair result we were better second half...by god we need a left back...

 

[Chegsy]

Here's one for everyone, do we move forward playing 3 at the back?

I wouldn't mind seeing it again minus Mykolenko. Baffled why we didn't see Aznou. We looked comfortable enough with the 3 centre backs and Mykolenko was offering nothing offensively

To be fair, dispatching those sorts of teams is what sets your own team apart as a European challenger. We need a few more top players before we can really compete.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Frustrating performance
Awful first half
Constantly giving the ball away with pointless hoofs upfield to an isolated Barry...

Mcneil.surely needs to come out of the side now...

Dibling looked positive, bit more confidence and he probably scores or assists....

Another very good goal from barry

More worryingly there isn't a single game there we deserved to win. And you've not even mentioned the embarrassments against Spurs or Newcastle, neither of whom are guaranteed to finish above us this season.

The best way of helping our boys win isn't by moaning like this. How can they perform getting booed for every error?when we got behind the lads we dominated them

 

[Smurph]

Here's one for everyone, do we move forward playing 3 at the back?

Full backs see a lot of the ball in the final third and ours are lousy.

We set up well with two banks of 4 away from home.

But it’s a decent shout at home. Will get us further up the pitch and Branthwaite and O’Brian are quick enough to give us better recovery when we lose the ball.

 

[Seathestars]

Two of our protagonists coming on was a huge positive.
Our African kings back as well.
Barry continues to score.
There were some positives but in the end a disapointing result.

Two full-backs and a striker would transform that side. But we don't seem to be interested. I'm beginning to think they don't want Europe as it would force them to spend big in the summer and I'm not sure they have an appetite for that just yet.

Not moaning

I like to complete sets
