MATCH POSTPONED
Confidence is low; crowds are down; Everton's form is abysmal; Walter
Smith's cache as an admired manager is all but spent. And Everton, in
this parlous state, with just one lucky point from the last five games, must
face an expensive Leeds United team that are amazingly faring almost as
badly.
Leeds United apparently can't win away from Elland Road.... well, we've
heard that before.
More to the point: Everton can't score. And there seems no magic
solution on the horizon. Evertonians can only live on hope. Hope
that somehow this rag-bag team of mis-fits will once again start to play
with some and coherence, will once again show some rare guile and
inventiveness moving into the opposition penalty area, will once again start
to find the back of the net....
Walter Smith's excuses are now fooling very few; another loss at home
could precipitate an avalanche of damning criticism as his negativity and
tactical incompetence (or that of his sidekick Archie Knox) appear to have
become endemic.
Everton need to turn the corner today, or that awful sucking sound will
be getting louder and louder...
