Everton - v - Leeds United *** Matchday Thread***

[norfolk white]

Lack of investment from the board and bielsa.

[Rev72]

Board want to keep us up on the cheap because Radz wants to have his cake and eat it when he sells up end of the season.

Could be a costly gamble if it all goes tits up as the 49rs won't be as keen to stump up 400 million smackers for a championship club!

So feckin avoidable as well.

Just watched the highlights - Rodrigo was a tad unlucky neither effort went in.

One of those days hopey but its frustrating lad because Newcastle and today should have yielded a minimum 4 points!

Doesn't help when the Rev has a 'few' as well as things seem bleaker when we lose

[bathlad61]

As above, the lack of investment is laughable. How you can survive, let alone progress in a sensible, gradual manner each season?
Injuries aside, surely its a basic requirement to have 2 players, ( minimum ) who can support & compete for each position. A squad of our size & quality, expected to compete physically, each game, just starting to look a massive mistake, and more than a touch foolish.

Haven't watched Dastardly and Muttley in their post match presser. Any explanation for removing Raphinha and putting the bun on instead of Gelhardt?

I think he's out of ideas let alone explanations, Andy.

Shots on target = zero. Sums it up perfectly.

Stats often don’t give the true picture look at the two Rodrigo efforts Oz - so close to scoring two worldies - literally 3 cm between scoring and what happened

Degree of fortune with each of their goals

First one Llorente clears but falls for them
Second arguably a foul on Struijk
Third - deflection

On such fine margins do fortunes ride.
