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

[Ducans elbow]

Siggy starts over James
(Shakes head)

 

[blue to the bone]

Why? is he knackered? jesus wept he's a professional footballer and supposedly an"elite" athlete

He missed 6 or 7 games with injury.
Played 4 or 5 in a row .
I've no issue with him getting a break .
But other selections id be worried about

 

[BlueStevie35]

The commentary on Saturday did mention that James felt something in the back of his leg on Saturday, not to mention he had his ankle tread twice so it makes a bit of sense keeping him on the bench tonight, especially with the short space of time between games this month

 

[Lloydystark]

I feel sorry for Siggy no Pickford means Siggy going to get even more abuse if we lose this one

 

[BlueToff]

Siggy and Gomes is an absolute disaster against that Leeds side. Also, why not play Keane?

I think we're playing a back three.

Gomes and Sigurdsson seems daft, very daft.

It's just about keeping it at 0-0 until the hour, with any goals before then a bonus, based on the form of this first XI.

[LEONARD]

absolutely rubbish

Sigs
Davies
Delph
Gomes

ALL RUBBISH

I want Everton to actually WIN something before I die

Kendall
Ball
Harvey
Dobson.

ALL BRILLIANT.

Sadly not available tonight.

 

[Amokachi1995]

Strong bench for once.

 

[BlueToff]

It's just about keeping it at 0-0 until the hour, with any goals before then a bonus, based on the form of this first XI.

Not really.

The best XI to try and keep it tight would be the 4 CBs at the back, Digne left wing and Rich on the right, with Davies and Doucoure in midfield, Gylfi or James in a free role.

This system looks like it could be a complete mess.

 

[BlueToff]

Strong bench for once.

Might need it at 3-0 down

 

[Jim Hopper]

Sigurdsson must be the luckiest footballer in the world. Lad never gets injured (not that I wish that on him) and even though he’s been churning out 1 good game per 12 months he’s a constant starter in this team. I despair.

 

[GwladysBlue]

At least Gomes and Sigurdsson have great positional sense to make-up for their lack of pace

Lol

They’re also both known for their great attitude and never giving up...

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Carlo criticises the squad for not having any spirit the other day, what does he do? Goes and plays two of the worst culprits in the side for not fighting and showing spirit in Gomes and Sigurdsson. We will never learn or change.

And removes the one player who actually showed some

He’ll be getting a new contract in the summer as well
