Match Thread Everton v Leeds - Preview, Match Report and Motm Poll

[Yarrgh]

Well done everyone! When the whole club comes together and works its socks off like that, it's an absolute pleasure.

Lampard, the players and the fans were all superb today. Keep this up and we'll be fine.

Very weird from Bielsa to make so many half time changes

Huh....?
Excellent interview from Bielsa on the beeb, he well and truly acceded our excellence and force in attack particularily

I agree and hopefully given time we will get back where we belong.

Very good performance today, amazing what having a competent midfielder who can actually run and tackle back can achieve. Was a great team effort today bur special mentions must go to Gordon, Richarlison and my MoM, #mIwobi. Never thought we would see that sort of display from Iwobi.

 

[Carlito]

Pleased and reassured by that.

I didn't think Leeds were terrible or anything, but you could see the flaws in the way they play. The speed they try to knock the ball around at, they're always testing one another's touch, and there's no room for error. Rodrigo can't half hit a ball, though. From where I was sitting, it looked like his second one had hit the net so hard that it bounced all the way back out.

Everton were just the opposite. Lampard kept it simple, and apart from Kenny, nobody had to step out of their comfort zone. Grew into the came and waited for the chances to come, calm as anything. Once we got to half-time at 2-0, it felt as though we were nearly there.

A bit of an Ancelotti performance, I thought. I'll enjoy the Donald while he's here, too.

DCL makes a huge difference to us getting higher up the pitch, and in turn Richy is a lot better playing wide and tracking their full backs.
We need to keep both fit, was screaming to get Richy off after the 3rd!

There's a show on BBC One called "Match of the Day" tonight at 10:30pm that will be playing our highlights.

Never heard of it before, is this a new show? ?

Adrian Chiles now mate.

A Question, do you keep kenny at left back when mykolenko(sp) is fit?

I don't know. We shall see in games to come. He looked good today along with our other write-offs. Hopefully the new coaches will improve the players so we don't have to get rid
Chuffed for Iwobi. Said recently I hope he works out because you can't fault his attitude. Could not really fault his game today either.

 

[Curtis]

Makes me laugh that, smash the bar twice with our goalie well beaten and it's not classed as on target.
Surely the target is the goal and the framework of the goal is part of the target. Oh well unlucky Leeds.

Yeah you gotta a point, technically you're correct but the fact that both those shots occured outside the box could be spun into a positive as well

 

[COYBL25]

what was going on with the Leeds fans. Looked like one of them wanted to fight everyone around him at one point in the second half and coppers ran in to get him out?.

By the way. I hope the bottle throwing will be all over the news as it was last time. Stupid idiot who did it.

Too much of the Cocaine.

 

[Toffeelover]

Just shows go out and play, press them hard, get up there, attack them, do not give them any peace.
