Match Thread Everton v Leicester City - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

That was terrible. We are really spineless with our passing. Think we need to go to 2 up top and go direct

 

[Sharpies volley]

Our midfield 3 getting outplayed by their midfield 2.

Because their midfield 2 are being supported by other players around them.

That was rubbish wasn’t it, Onana and Gueye are way off it for some reason, Calvert Lewin is getting no service at all, and the one time he did he fluffed.

He's winning a lot of stuff in the air

Need more pace I'd say. I'd bring Gordon on

 

[Gooner66789]

Need to get a hold of Maddison, he's pulling the strings.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Another half with 1 shot on target.... I want to love Frank but performances like this make me question the process. This looks identical to the game at GP last season.

Onana and Gueye have been awful on the ball. Gueye has won it back lots, but it’s usually after he has just given it away. As for Onana, the less said the better. Really poor from him.

 

[Obes]

Awful.

 

[navidson]

Maddison has absolutely run rings around us, he’s popping up everywhere. Finding so much space, we just haven’t dealt with him and he’s making them tick.

Imagine playing with a playmaker in midfielder - Instead of a couple of 'defensive minded' players that don't seem to shield our backline particularly effectively

 

[banno]

That was just sloppy. Can't pass the ball and cant keep the ball. Leicester look more comfortable with the ball and winning all second balls.
Our passing in atrocious

 

[TGW89]

If we don't get another 4+ points before the World Cup we're down. Massive 45 mins for our club coming up.

 

[Bungle]

Only watched the game for the fireworks, cheaper than going out.

 

[Dymak]

Very negative tactics.

 

[Nymzee]

Lord I've got Gray and Keys at half-time chatting wham.

 

[Eggs]

….thought we might just get to half-time but not surprising Leicester finally got that goal.

Very slow in possession, looking to play through central midfielders who haven’t got the quality to play that way. We know what Gueye is good at and we know what he’s not good at, yet we seem to want to play through him.

We’re a threat when we get the ball forward, I’d like us to take the option of hitting DCL and wide areas from the back rather than laboriously play it around no-mans land where Leicester are better than us.

Games not over unless Leicester score again.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

A stunning, wonder goal? A speculative lob from 30 yards more like. Like the other speculative lob by Newcastle(?) a couple of weeks ago. Okay it's a goal, but let's not go overboard. ?
