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

[Brett Angell Delight]

Nothing like the false confidence after smashing a crap team.

0-2. Doucoure to pop up with an early opener for 2 in his first 2, only to finish the league season on 3, and DCL to finish them off while they're hunting for a late equaliser.

Godfrey out worries me, they will be bang up for their first game at home with fans for eighteen months. If he is out it has to be Mina and Holgate, Keane gets pressed to death. We need to match them I would be tempted to bring JPG in for a middle three of Allan, Doucs and JPG, make us more solid. I am hoping for an entertaining 2-2 draw

Mina and Keane are ok together. I can't see us pushing up much against them at home. It could actually play into our hands that Godfrey is not available. There may have been a temptation to leave space behind us because of Godfrey's recovery pace...that's playing with fire with the way they like to get in behind.

1-1 for me this i think
we have won 2,drew 1 of our last 3 league games here

Only one round of games this season but not one single draw, maybe this one!!

 

[Deulofeumygod]

we will miss Godfrey’s pace for sure. Could be key.

Keane cannot afford to dither again.

I am going 2-1 Leeds.

well last time they got battered by man utd they played burnley at home in the following game and only scraped past them 1-0. Burnley had more shots on goal than leeds and leeds winner came from the penalty spot

...that dog has a look in its eyes that speak toward the unspeakable...it has seen some terrible things

"we went to Arsenal and played five at the back with Ashley Williams, Cuco Martina, and whatever an Elaquim Mangala is, and we had only Bolasie and Oumar up front. Fifteen minutes in and it was already three-nil, they were ripping us apart. I saw Big Sam gnawing on a huge kebab, the juice running down his chin, he turned to the bench and gestured to Cenk Tosun..."

I'm also feeling 2-1 Leeds, with head not heart. Figure that every side playing for the first time at home in front of a full stadium in a year and a half will get a huge boost. They will be smarting from the pounding they got and out to prove a point. We can't do to them what United did, we don't have the horses. They're good enough to play through us if they get going. Not sure we have the players to control the middle of the park against their attacking mids.

Wouldn't be surprised if we beat them, but if I'm looking at it dispassionately I'd favor them.

Pickford
Coleman Keane Mina Digne
Townsend Doucoure Allan Gray
DCL Richarlison

Might be tempted to drop one of Townsend/Gray and add Davies into midfield.

Nice and compact and look to punish mistakes and hit them on the break.

Just saw JPG might be available, would love to see him, Allan and Doucoure in a midfield 3!

Those 3 being horrible gets in midfield and playing on the break to a front 3 of Richy, DCL and one of Townsend/Gray will be a good combo for us in away games this season I reckon.

*waits for JPG to slip on a banana peel and be out for 9 months

[deipnosophist]

As long as he has been double jabbed he wouldn’t need to as the rules changed on Monday so he should be available
