Softfootball understands that Everton’s 1–1 draw with Leeds United, coming just days after their impressive 1–0 victory over Aston Villa, triggered strong reactions from supporters online.
After the final whistle, Everton shared a post about the result via their official X account. Fans took to X to vent frustration, analyze performances, and question decisions that they felt ultimately cost the Toffees all three points.
Reacting to what he saw as a sluggish and disjointed display, Chenford1981 (@Chenford1981) focused on Everton’s poor first half, individual performances, and the lack of squad depth, suggesting fatigue played a major role.
He said:
Slight improvement 2nd half but was not good performance 1st half looked like we couldn’t be bothered, McNeil again was a.w.o.l some players looked tired Gana KDH (not long come back tho) & we just haven’t got the numbers in the squad! Plus Mykolenko performance again…
Taking a much angrier tone, Ben_1878 (@B_BMDFooty) expressed outright fury at the result, labeling it as points thrown away and criticizing both the team’s slow starts and specific player selections.
He stated:
Fucking shite again. Massive 2 points dropped against a shit team. WHY do we start so slow! WHY do we persist with McNeil! Gana absolutely dog shit there as well should have kept Armstrong on or brought Rohl on
Another supporter, Franko (@Toffe46), singled out one player in particular, directing his frustration at Dwight McNeil and making clear how unbearable he finds watching his performances.
He added:
Can we please fuck Dwight Mcneil off from our club please because I just can’t take him anymore,, If I have to suffer him trudging around the pitch with the physical ability of a sloth I’m worried I might just physically harm myself!
From the Leeds perspective, bensharp1846 (@bensharp1846) aimed his criticism at managerial decisions, blaming Daniel Farke for both the strong first half and the poor second-half approach that invited pressure.
He said:
That’s on Farke for first half, brilliant performance so gotta give credit there It’s also on Farke for that awful second half and trying to defend a 1-0 lead. Time and time again we see that it doesn’t work, you can’t just sit back away from home when looking the better side fs
Finally, Harley (@ScanlanHarley) echoed similar frustration, questioning Leeds’ decision to sit deep after the break and arguing that the conservative approach directly led to more dropped points.
He concluded:
I’d love to know why we decided yeah let Everton have ball 2nd half & just sit in 2 points dropped can’t keep drawing games.
Overall, the reactions reflected two fanbases feeling dissatisfied for different reasons—Everton supporters frustrated by inconsistency and selection issues, and Leeds fans left annoyed by a cautious approach that failed to secure a win.
