Be six if he didn't play Michael Keane. Said it before the game that Keane isn't suited to play legs. It was too no one's surprise Michael turns like a bus Keane got caught out. It's just as much on the manager for picking him when he should have known they'd exploit him.

Yesterdays handbags were embarrassing but he came out the better for it. Bamford looked rattled.

What was the third he should have had? He won and converted the penalty. His job was done. Keane and Benetiz much more to blame.

He's an absolute joke. Manager should get the blame though. Probably the worse team to pick him to play against, more so when we're playing a high line.

Little bit worried for Keane and Allan. Leeds will keep running to drag players out of place. Neither of those have the intelligence when to stick rather than go with the man. Pickford Coleman Holgate Mina Digne Townsend Davies Gbamin Doucoure Richarlison DCL Richi and Townsend purely for their work rate. Let them get tired and then bring Iwobi and Gray on second half to go win it.

This is enough for me. If he goes it's because of Rafa. Blame the board and the manager before him. Fucking shame on them if he does.

It was to his ma's delight seeing her little Yorkie boy dressed like that.

He player him less than the manager before him. Given the options and him only getting better that number should have went up not down. Ferguson straight away played to his strengths. Begs the question why Silva wasn't.

8th is 8th however you want to paint it. You think Alladyce wouldn't have built on it? The football was awful but what else could be done with the players at his disposal? Silva would have had us in a relegation battle. Even with better players Silva never managed to out football another team thanks to us being on form, more often than not we relied on the opposition having a bad day. The football was shit, the tactics were woeful. Ancelotti had us more organised and before getting his head turned was challenging for Europe. Didn't like the football but most gave him a pass as we thought he had a long term plan in place. What did it take for DCL to get his chance? Koeman put him straight in the first team, Silva knocked him down and only player him when his hand was forced. Ffs he put Richi up top falling about before him. Every manager has to deal with injuries, but if you're using that ours were probably worse last year. DCL played slightly less minutes under Silva than the year before, you'd expect that figure to have gone up. Every youth player we had seen less minutes than the season before with Silva other than Lookman, who got about 3 matches worth. He didn't trust the academy at all. DCL only played more than 60 minutes in three of Silva's first 16 games. Ferguson didn't flinch at making him his focus. When Dom talks there's very little praise for Silva. If drawing with Liverpool is your pinnacle even Alladyce managed that. Man u game when their players even came out and apologised for being so shit, hungover from losing in Europe. The scored flattered too, could have easily been a draw. Chelsea game as well, we met them at their lowest. Worst of the lot Spurs reserves and all we could muster was a draw. Don't think you actually remember the football because the warning signs were there, the reasons which ultimately cost him the job.

People were blaming the players yet Ferguson clearly showed it was just as must the manager. Ferguson got more out of them in two weeks than Silva managed in 2 seasons. Beat Chelsea straight away and even managed a draw with two kids in midfield against United.

Sam Alladyce took over the shit show walsh and koeman created. Finished 8th after the disadvantage of starting in the bottom half. Alladyce added Tosun and Walcott and finished 8th. Silva then got Richarlison, Digne, Mina, Zouma, Gomes, Bernard, Iwobi.. and took us backwards. Depended on an unproven striker? Tosun or Richarlison? Surely you aren't giving him credit for DCL? DCL got more admiration from both managers before him, and both after. Silva is the biggest joke of a manager ever.

If they come up it'll be in spite of him. Worst manager of my lifetime. Add that I've watched Steve Watson playing up top under Walter Smith instead of Joe Max Moore. Coleman talks a lot about players not being arsed enough, and that came around the Silva era. I'd be surprised if he wanted Silva back. Where did he say that?

In the article there's a vid asking the players who is the most skillful. No surprise Iwobi got the majority but Gray pips James for second.

James behind the striker would be ideal against Leeds. They leave so much space he could exploit. Fernandez is hardly a hard worker defensively and ripped then apart last week, and I'd say James has even more talent to do so.

If he was a good coach he'd still be here. The most inept manager I've seen in my lifetime, and I'm old enough to remember Stuart Pierce putting David James up front, which made more sense than having Tosun or Richarlison as a lone striker a head of DCL. First thing Ferguson done when he took the reigns was back DCL. Must have been disheartening being his coach and playing his position yet having a numpty like Silva calling the shots. Add that Silva valued Boa Morte a head of Ferguson and Unsworth. Bloke is an absolute joke.

I'm thinking it will be more so his nephew can take his spot.

They sold out pretty fast. I clicked the link on the day but nothing come up. Hummel have a non Everton associated version but only the smaller sizes left. Hopefully they do another run with Everton on. https://www.hummel.co.uk/hmlflag-pro-t-shirt-l-s-multi-col./212771-6700.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw9uKIBhA8EiwAYPUS3DfuxxaF-6MJsG5ayx6hlZgmgyledKSDQ3yyPg0DRDpWqVKpYRd4LBoCNu4QAvD_BwE

I said similar to my mate but saying if it was James. Class spot from Coleman. Think we had a similar one last year.

The LGBT kit looks good on. Be a great keeper kit.

If he dropped half our fans would moan he's not closed him down like Gana would have I bet.

Leeds 2-4 Everton DCL

First time I heard that was from the Brummie lads at uni. Slowly it's caught on. Find it a bit rude, when I catch myself saying it I apologise to whoever in talking to.

Everything you say about Keane you deflect with how Holgate was worse, or even to blame. Shocking, but Holgate should have saved him. Keane was bullied by one but Holgate bullied by both. You even blame Holgate for us not having a foothold in the game compared to Keane being rocky. He wasn't rocky, he was an absolute shambles and that's even without the mistake. Yes Holgate has a face like a slapped arse but the lad isn't playing badly. Similar happens with Davies too, used to see the same shite from the fans about Fellaini as well. One looks arrogant, one looks like a skateboarder and the other gangly. Rarely actually judged on their football.

Richi had a good second half but was in their right backs pocket for the first. Doucoure by the extra mile he seems to run. Iwobi my second for changing the game.
