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

[JimmyJeffers]

John Ebbrell scores Everton’s third goal in their 3-1 victory against Leeds United in the Zenith Data Systems Cup Area Final, Northern Section, second leg played at Goodison Park on the 21st March 1991.

John Ebbrell. Was a product of that football school of excellence thing at Lillesham. Have distinct memories of him not being very good but playing all the time and being part of a very average group of players when we transitioned from title contenders to mid table. Including Cottee, Ward, Preki etc

Hope we pump Leeds. Very bad club

Nkounkou could be in for a rough ride.

I think it likely we now will stick with the wing back system, considering Digne's injury:

Pickford
Coleman Holgate Keane
Iwobi Allan Doucoure Nkounkou
James DCL Richarlison​

 

[DanB90]

We didn't make 4 pages of notes though and then stop him to explain him how he could get more whip on his balls into her mouth.

We're better than that Dan, we stroke quietly and know our place, we sometimes shed a little tear at how emasculating it is but we move on

It’s all about her xOrgasms.

 

[The Binman]

I am no so sure, I have supported Everton since the 80s, I have seen matches like this before when the expected result was a win and we failed miserably but lets see

We arent going to win this one. Leeds will want it more, that desire we I think are missing.

Actually, we might switch Iwobi back to the left...

We can easily beat this Leeds team, they can do all the high press they want, Allan and James will slow the game down nicely in midfield and our Talisman Richarlison with something to prove can poach us a couple of early goals. I'm worried about the way we buckled with Fulham in the second half, but I feel we will have learned a lot from that game.

Nice 5:30pm game too so we can enjoy a few cold ones .

 

[ChesterBlue]

This game and Burnley are really important I feel, as we have a really tough run of games coming after them

He was good under Royle in midfield though. A key part of the dogs of war mentality along with Barry Horne.

I always thought that was more Parkinson and Horne but you’re right enough. Was dropped for the 95 semi against spurs and never properly recovered his place. Sold to Sheffield United (under Kendall) for 1.5 mill and was injured after 45 mins and never played again.

smash these whippet-beaters please lads.

Yeah that's true Parkinson was the better of the 2 and won that place at some point. But Ebbrell played a decent role that season and ended up a reliable enough back up to Horne and Parkinson for a season or so after that from what I remember (could be wrong there)

I always thought his name was Ebbrellfour,
as that was what it said at the end of the match report each Sunday

Haha probably but I'm not veering from my view that he was decent enough under Royle.
