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

[Rooney_Tunes]

Looks devoid of any confidence.

His residency at Everton might be short lived unless something changes.

No idea what he was thinking when THAT chance presented itself. He seemed upset that I was upset with him for not shooting...

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Thought it was night and day when he came on at RWB personally; especially when compared to that coward on the other side

I think you might have been watching some other match...Dibling was rubbish.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Is it wrong to feel disappointed?

No.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Barry on the list twice!

Gana and Gueye

Nah - Moyes never learns. Next game, he looks at the setup and McNeil will be one of the first names on the sheet. It’s like he has amnesia of what actually happens when he plays McNeil in a match. Leeds were all over our right in the first half

watching him fail to cover the run and eventual scorer of their goal should be enough for him never to be selected again…. house behaviour.

Have we done Aintree’s finest ?

Proper blue, isn’t he?

Yeah that shape in the second half was better, created space.

suited gana who I thought was pretty poor first half but got the assist and hit the bar 2nd

I didn't see Dibling do anything except run into traffic, and/or lose the ball, play sideways/ backwards and turn down a match winning chance at goal for THAT 'cross'.

He's young, one for the future blah. Huge money spent for a big hole in our right side.

Ok out full backs are poor, granted. If Moyes sees something different in Dibling, great.

Basics.

- Beat your man ( stop standing up on the ball, letting multiple defenders get goal side)
- decision making ( better balls into the box, more quickly )
- play forwards when possible

In fairness he's young, we want him to come good quickly, and his crossing was scarcely much worse that the entire team.

Get a grip Moyes. It's a flat league and Europe is possible still.

Tactical switch and Barry's goal a plus. 2 pts dropped, but perhaps it's pressure new stadium etc, we don't have frightening pace particularly.

Away games and countering seem to suit us more.

 

[No Alla Violenza]

I still can’t get over that first half

Like 11 strangers playing together for the first time

 

[blue in oxford]

I look forward to the day when we play for 90 mins
1st 45 tragic
Well done Barry but MOM no
Gana for me just never stopped and he showed Dibling how to cross for the goal

Oh no it isn't.

Watch their goal again,McNiel was bad but Gana was tracking back in first gear too.

I will be watching from home. Any nights games I generally get to, however it wouldn’t be fair on my wife who gave birth to our beautiful daughter on Friday afternoon.

Congratulations mate

Happens after virtually every decent result we've had

 

[Miked1e]

Missed opportunity again..... so slow at home. Only when KDH came on did we seem to have anyone quick enough on the ball to get something going.

 

[blue1948]

How many times did one of ours play a give and go just for the other one to pass it back to Tarks / Jake /Jimmy .Moyes has brought up all the past memories of a tactically unaware (favouritic ( new word developed for Moyes ))buffoon .After the season ends we will realise what a chance we had at Europe and this clown gave it up playing his favourites .
How many games have we played well for 90 minutes this season ? I am struggling to find any and how many has he totally messed up the starting 11 ? I feel the same as Dyche's time ,he somehow gets results despite his incompetence .

 

[evertony]

Second half much better than the first. Fair play to Moyes with the half time changes both in personel and formation. Went with Barry as MOTM took his goal well and ran his socks off, he's coming on leaps and bounds this lad. Best part of the night was seeing Branthwaite and Dewsbury Hall coming through the 45 unscathed.

100%….to chase the hopeless service he gets with the long, aimless punts from the keeper and centre halves and still have the composure and instinct to score the kind of goals he’s scoring says a lot about the kid.
