Match Thread Everton v Leeds United - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[ForeverEverton]

We are just 3 points off 15th with most teams having a game in hand on us now except Villa who have 2 games in hand..........

We are bottom half, look at the evidence....

 

[Bullens Rd]

Starting to look like another rinse and repeat season

It's not going to get any better.

Richarlison is off in the summer, James probably has a load of clauses in his contract, and who knows if Digne will return to his previous form after a bad injury.

 

[Pabbers]

Michael Keane is rubbish

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Surely given that he’s not even on the bench (same with Kenny) there must be a fitness issue or something.

Doesn’t seem to be anything backing that up

Delph has wing back experience also and made more sense than Iwobi

Not slating either him or Davies, they tried, but they shouldn’t have been there

Ancelotti deserves some criticism here. Doesn’t mean I want him out or anything like that

 

[street end]

Hate it when they stand around talking to players you’ve just battered by. These lot are just phoning it in at the moment. Not fit and all predictable

Hugging each other what’s that all about

 

[Sassy Colombian]

The joy of supporting Everton.

Always one step forward,one step backwards.

Awful performance.

I wonder why I have decided to do this to myself as if it wasn't enough with Colombian NT

 

[Seathestars]

I’m not sure what kind of player Doucoure is, he doesn’t compliment Allan in any way whatsoever.

shocking player, where did we get him from again. I’d steer clear of relegation fodder, unless you’re going to put them on PEDs like Robinson

 

[Taifi gorm]

Richarlison was terrible today and as expected when Digne ain’t there he has to try and do it all in his own. Another absolutely baffling reason why Ancelotti went with Alex Iwobi at left back and then Fabian Delph over a natural full back in Nkounkou. It’s on Ancelotti this.

How many weeks has this been said now?

 

[Efcbradley89]

Leeds scored from a lad trying his luck on the edge of the box we [Poor language removed] foot around till we end up back at the keeper.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Money spent? He’s hardly spent a penny.

I would argue between his own wedge and whatever last three summers signings are pocketing, we are looking at close to 30m a year in wages

 

[Tipp blue]

What's James record for losses in a season? Must be getting near to that total certainly since he's been in Europe.

 

[kenada_blue]

Annoying to lose, but Bielsaball is fantastic. Getting so much out of his team.

They've won 3 games (now 4) conceding 4 goals 4 times this season. 2 of those wins from 2 of the basement clubs.

It's the same old modern stat based football view now. Cos you can run around loads you're deemed a 'good' side

 

[Eggs]

....big surprise it took Leeds so long to score, another surprise is us only conceding one. Leeds thoroughly deserving the win.

Blame the players but also blame Ancelotti, he’s struggling to make us hard to beat which is a key requirement of his job. Strange set-up in a number of games, essentially playing a back five. Davies supporting Rodriguez = no pace on one side of the pitch and no pace on the bench if required. Ancelotti must be as accountable for results as the team.

DCL was neat and tidy but Allan was stand out performer.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Koff.
Their keeper made way more saves to keep them in it.

Not the better side. Lucky, dirty fouling c***s.

Yeah they were, stop deluding yourself. We got and deserved nothing

 

[nsno-chris]

Ha ha neither does our DOF sadly

So our DoF bought a midfielder that you wanted and cried for (because he was brilliant apparently), the manager plays but it’s the DoF fault because he’s not played in his correct position??? Even though that’s the position he played for Watford??

I mean you can’t spout anymore BS than that

Stick to pretending to be an MMA fighter because footy ain’t for you
