Match Thread Leeds 1-0 Everton, Mon 18 Aug, 8.00pm

[PercyPlant]

you got talksport on?

deeney is scum and whose else is doing it

In the era of podcast, why would anyone listen to radio? I presume you do as you have an idea of who is hosting, to make things worse you think Troy Deeney may be giving his opinions, why would you care.

Troy deeney is to football punditry what rain is to sunshine.

Gary Neville: Everton has been so basic

Generally speaking

 

[rochdaleblue]

Put McNeil at LB
Put KDH alongside Gana
Put Grealish at 10
Bring Barry on for Beto.

 

[bluejohn66]

Hoofball is back lads

 

[Hafnia Blue]

Men Vs boys so far

 

[everton1953]

Put it on record to avoid half time and second half. Too awful to watch.

 

[JohnRoss23]

The game's here to be won.

Get Barry on for Beto, push Ndiaye inside and get Grealish on.

Agreed, dakek. Let’s get it.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Unless we change immediately they'll eventually score. I have been rarely seen a game where a team has dominated from the first minute and not ended up scoring.

 

[Miked1e]

Waited all summer for that!
I saw nothing that resembles football.
Turgid and pointless with no obvious game plan or attacking ideas.

Beto, btw, I’d rather have Jo on. He has shown absolutely no ability. Did he win a competition to play in a premier match?

It’s basically been this way pre season…. But don’t worry pre season is only about fitness.

Let’s not care about any coherent play whatsoever.

Wish I could vault people but thankfully most of them are on ignore

 

[Huyton Layne]

Love to see where Garner did well. Defending? Because his passing was at 60% and he refused to use his left, even to control the ball

 

[Timbucktoo]

Poor first half by us, offering nothing in attack and very messy at the back far too often. Hope for an improvement in the second half.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I don't think any striker in the world could look good in this side. Right now he's expected to win hoofs to his head AND somehow get the second ball too—impossible.

We can't even get our players into their half. When the game is this dire, the majority of strikers switch off. Has to be bored out of his mind.

Gary Neville: Everton has been so basic

His ma is basic.

 

[Bluewolf]

Grealish coming on for second half

 

[davek]

Garner has done really well out of position. Tim's positioning hasn't been the best, but he made some great tackles. KDH has stunk the joint out so far hopefully he gets it going. Charly has been solid enough.

Not his game tonight.

Get him off and Ndiaye inside and Grealish on the left.
