    Stach and Tanaka very good players. Gnoto good.

    Stach and Tanaka not close to Xhaka and Diarra though, no way.

    They've got 3 right footed CBs playing and then a right footed CM playing LB. The 2 fullbacks aren't playing natural positions so when receiving passes they don't angle their bodies quite like natural fullbacks. They also want to come inside more as that's where they are comfortable. When under pressure fullbacks can be such a good out ball as wingers are often quite lazy out of possession and can switch off.

    By not having a left footed they are closing off parts of the pitch so it makes Leeds press a lot easier - by having a balanced back 4 (like we had when Alderete came on) it helps you play out a bit easier

    Hopwfully explained that well enough

    Leeds are the Duracell bunny but just running round in circles ...

    ... I'd love to see Everton take their new stadium to the Championship though.

    Everton's back 5 have been woeful. Pickford is all over the place.

    Think Leeds look decent until the final 3rd. Everton don't look good at all.

    My Leeds mate is worried about their options in the final 3rd, says they need at least 2 more to stand a chance.

    Leeds pressing has been very good, couple times they did leave space for Everton to counter into but Everton lacked the ability or movement to exploit it

    Everton have been dreadful tho, nothing has been good about their performance other than they arent getting beat

    That was utterly dreadful from Everton’s point of view.

    Leeds are worse going forward than they were last season considering Solomon has went back and they haven't replaced him. Think DCL is decent but not a game changer but I do like Okafor, although I haven't seen much of him since his Salzburg days

    If Leeds played like this against us we’d savage them on the counter.

    I actually thought Leeds looked really good there. Pure domination whilst keeping their style from last season. Against a prem regular too, good signs for us.

    Everton shameful tho.
