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

Horrible first game. Definitely the worst time to get this fixture too, as Leeds will be plop this season I reckon

Yeah that's what's frustrating. Go there in Feb and I'd be confident of a win. A lot less so tonight.

Promotion bounce will be on tonight.
Making it a night fixture is also a sly trick from Sky. Just praying they don't bounce like Sunderland did - as opponents we are very much potential west hams.

Promotion bounce will be on tonight.

Smash one of theirs early...in true Roy Keane "put a marker down" style.

Proper game of footie this. Get stuck in Blues.

 

[blueblueskies]

Leeds are 11/8 and we are just over 2/1 so wouldn’t say that we are big outsiders

Apart from knowing they've just signed DCL, I've paid no attention to Leeds at all over the summer.

Have they done any good business?

Longstaff and DCL are the only notable additions, few foreign signings. Some of their fans have been questioning the summer recruitment.

2-1 Everton. Wouldn’t start Grealish, no footy in his legs for an about 2 months, he’d be gassed at half time. Bring him on with 30 to go and give them something to think about, it’ll also give us a big boost as well.

I reckon KDH will run the show for us and will allow Ndiaye to do his thing further up the pitch as opposed to taking on 6 players from the edge of our box.

The only sensible score prediction is 2-0 the Blues with a Beto double

 

[Furey1878]

I broke an Everton mug that I've had for years before, so our inevitable 2-0 loss is my fault, I'm afraid.

The weak link tonight is gonna be big Mick Kegger.

 

[irishtony1878]

Loving everyone's confidence and enthusiasm, but this is Everton I'm afraid.
2-0 to Leeds, no shots on goal.
We don't start the season until late October.
We should have been bubbling with excitement for the new Everton, but I can't help feel trepidation and disappointment as we start another season.
I do hope I'm wrong.

Can we get this out of the way so we can go back to moaning about new right winger again? But seriously tricky game but coybs I hope we win!

All the talk of transfers and we are forgetting our best player, ndiaye masterclass tonight ...
