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

[Darrenc34]

Long way to go yet, can still make top 4.

Glad in the end that it was only 1-0.
Our lines are too far apart making it simple for footballing teams to play thru and around us.
Our 3 CBs are as average as they come and the main problem is that we do not have style or substance.
Leeds pinged it at speed with great movement then when we have possession we are in slow motion looking for players to pass to rather than automatically knowing where to pass to. We are going to take a right thumping by someone this season if we cannot sort the defence and tighten the lines.
Richarlison is bang off form and if we cannot feed DCL then he becomes a non productive player. January is a must for new players and time to evaluate what we have.

Thought allen was our motm a few times was reminding me of Peter Ried

Why is our defencive midfielder seem to be the only one in the opposition's box?

 

[okellypj]

Disappointing. I'm trying not to be too pessimistic. Leeds are a good side. On another day and a bit more luck those goals fall onside. Also if digne played today I think we would have won. There would have been so much space for to whip crosses in from.

 

[Kev The Rat]

I’m done

At least that’s one good result today

Leeds are like the opposite of us. Poor quality players, but organised playing in a system that they know. We have better players than them, but they play like they only met this morning and don't know what their jobs are. It was horrible to watch. I sort of feel like the season is already done, even though we are not even half way through it. Carlo's idea of playing Tom Davies at RWB and moving Iwobi to LWB, instead of Nkounku coming in at LWB didn't work at all. its not Davies position, he can't really tackle or cross, so I'm not sure what he was meant to do out there.
The central defenders seemed to spend a lot of time getting in each others way as well

 

[RomanReigns]

need to back to a man marking system instead of marking empty space

 

[Bungle]

We just look slow, unimaginative and predictable, so easy to play against and if the opposition press us we crumble.

The first few games of the season were nice, we'll always have those memories to store next to the bulging trophy cabinet.

 

[KaiserEFC]

We set up really weirdly and proceeded to get beat by the better team. Nothing surprising and I can’t really complain at the result.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Why is our defencive midfielder seem to be the only one in the opposition's box?

because Allan is the only player w shave who actually cares if we win or lose

 

[toffeepie1878]

Bielsa can have a dump now but in fairness they played Everton off the park

 

[R.Reddington]

Get a grip. Do we look like a Top 4 side? We certainly look like a bottom half of the table side.

at the moment, yes. 1 win in 5 and we haven’t even had a tough run of games. We’re screwed after Burnley.

 

[the_toffees_bosnia]

I am done with this team , see you next year

 

[Blue 1]

Garbage.

Whoever manages us or plays for us, we are destined for perpetual mediocrity.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Can’t tell if you’re agreeing with me or not.

I'm not. You've said we should have lost 3 or 4 to nil and we definitely shouldn't have as the opportunities to score were there and we just messed it up. You can't say that they should have taken all there chances and we shouldn't have so it should be 4-0.
