LEEDS 1-0 EVERTON: When “Out of Position” Becomes the Position
Description
Everton’s Premier League season opener at Elland Road ended in familiar fashion: August defeat, a handball controversy, and a fanbase perhaps already questioning the transfer committee. In the the first post-match recap of the new campaign, James and Shan break down Leeds United 1–0 Everton, by the numbers and by the VIBES.
James Garner’s surprise turn at left back, to Beto’s isolation, to Ndiaye battling triple-teams, to Jack Grealish’s anticipated debut, the pod digs into every angle. Was Tarkowski harshly punished for “making himself bigger”? Did Everton’s midfield look as lost as the numbers suggest? And what does this say about a recruitment team that has addressed everything except Everton’s glaring needs, with just two weeks left in the window? The duo dives into it all on this one.
Producer's note: Missing Ryan’s tactical brain this week and the match was during work hours - apologies if the analysis isn’t as sharp as usual.
