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

[Jim Hopper]

Two first half hat-tricks from Richarlison and DCL should see us through hopefully anyways...

The team is fine given we need energy and both fullbacks are out. Calm down.

Our right side! My god thats bad s..t. At least Richarlison will help Davies. Doucoure will have to shut the right side and Allan will be alone at home in the middle!

 

[Zatara]

Id be surprised if we won this with that shocking selection...

Fingers crossed our forwards carry us on...

 

[blueconverse]

Beggars belief that line-up...but hey if we get 3 points...in Carlo we trust?

Genuinely who would you have played

 

[NewRadical]

I hope we don't start the game in plodding mode.

Leeds are full of energy and enthusiasm they would run us ragged, that being said they lack quality especially finishing.

I don't really like the starting line up but that could've been enforced upon us to an extent.

Hopefully a positive performance leads to a win.

I'd say swapping a LB for a RWB and a RWB for a CM is a lot more complicated than a LB for a LB.

Maybe that's just me.

I think Leeds is a difficult opponent for a young fullback of 19 to play his first home PL match.

There were no easy or obvious options this week and the injury is a massive problem.

I'd say swapping a LB for a RWB and a RWB for a CM is a lot more complicated than a LB for a LB.

Maybe that's just me.

At the end of the day it’s 11 vs 11; the teams with the highest work rate wins

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

If it helps, I just peeked at a Leeds forum and they're terrified of us and questioning Bielsa's team selection

 

[DanB90]

Hoping with a bit of pace either side of Keane, this back 3 will look good and allow the wingbacks to do their job properly without being pinned back.

 

[RomanReigns]

anyone know if Dias Benolli is any good?

 

[BlueToff]

Yeh not that Iwobi is playing just that he's been moved to the wrong side to accomodate Davies.

A severe lack of balance

If we were gonna play Davies, fine, but switch to a 4-3-3

 

[TGW89]

Another pish easy 4-0 win would be nice. Gary Kelly and Roque Junior against Ferguson and McFadden was like Hawking vs Tyson

 

[BlueToff]

Genuinely who would you have played

One of the two available full-backs we have, at least.

 

[Bluebirdie]

Carlo is genius! Spots Bielsas drone over finch farm and changes half the team!

 

[messymascot]

I'm hoping the fact this team is so bizarre it might actually catch Leeds out as they can't have been expecting this line up either.
