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

Quite like 3 at the back

Another poor home performance against the bottom 5 when we've had the chance to move towards the European places.

We looked all over the place in the first half - almost a replay of the performance against Sunderland.

Better in the second half, but still miles off an acceptable performance.

Surely that's curtains for McNeil at last?

Forest winning yesterday put paid to that.

In the past 4 seasons, we have finished 16th, 17th, 15th and 13th.

That result took us into the top 10 after 23 games. We had chances to win the second half and that was refreshing. The progress is clear to see but us Evertonians are never happy

Because why settle for mediocrity when it's actually possible to beat Leeds and go 7th. Show a little ambition. There's more to life than thanking your stars you're not in the relegation zone.

Tap the breaks. Moyles loves his experience.

On the plus side I'm starting to like Barry a lot more. Really coming out his shell, has some amusing celebrations and seems a bit of a character

Awful performance

Good second half. Good to see him finally change the shape of the team.

Branthwaite and Dewsbury-Hall made a difference.

Not good. Lucky to draw there.

Half-baked start.
Had Patto on for 70 mins as our entire RHS.
Gana playing as the most advanced mid.
I shake my head at our ‘tactics’ coz that 2nd half smacked of panic mode instead of a plan.

One moment of class from KDH and Gana and a neat finish from Barry makes our goal. Otherwise, we didn’t look like breaking Leeds down.

When he sets up defensive, away from home, we win. At home, Moyes has no idea of how to set up a team.

There's no movement off the ball when the opposition sits back. I cant remember a Moyes side really having a plan in such circumstances except to lump it to a big guy in the box. I assume he is scared to get hit on the counter, and players see it as a chance for a breather, but without decoy runs, and constant movement ahead, we are set for more of this dross at home.

Dibling miles off it

Nil Satis Nisi Midtable uninspiring, drab football, mediocrity......apparently some on here call it clear progress

 

[Bilbo]

The more times you see Barry's goal, the more you appreciate the quality

 

[Librarian]

An observation…,
Our crossing of the ball is absolutely hideous

As is our sometimes refusal to cross it

Should have shot there. Doesn’t look confident at all.
