Match Thread Everton 4-0 Leicester. Sat Feb 1st. 3pm

It's early days and this is Everton. I certainly don't think we should be getting carried away, but does anyone know where the Champions League final is being held next year?

….ironic that arguably our two best players wouldn’t have started today had DCL and Mangala not got long-term injuries last week. Garner was terrific and we know Beto is effective if the ball is played for him to run onto behind the back four. What a pass from Garner for his 2nd.

What a difference 2 weeks and 3 wins make. Rum’s out tonight

Don’t get too ahead of yourself. Where’s the Conference League final being held next year?

His finish was excellent as well. Very calm and composed.

Thought his first goal was well taken too. And tarks pass, considering he was a Cb, showed excellent vision even though Garners pass was a thing of beauty.

What’s wrong with the Conference League?

 

[Mikey O]

Garner gets MoM for me, industrious, tenacious and that pass for the goal was sublime. I can't remember a better pass from an Everton midfielder in ages; it was weight perfect and something that we've missed for so long.

Three wins on the bounce and we've vaulted clear of relegation - no need for a panic buy this transfer window and we can spend better in the summer *with our eleventh place finish*

My presentiments toward an 'Everton, that' performance occurring were proven to be baseless. I guess it's true then: 'worry is a misuse of imagination' lol
Great performance today...very pleased.

No player is perfect. They all have their style, strengths, and weaknesses. But when a manager learns all of that and passes it on to the players, you start to play more perfectly as a club. Beto isn’t DCL, and vice versa, but Moyes has learned how to bring out the absolute best from Beto by playing the ball to him in a way that suits his style the best.

 

[Charlie Sweet]

Brilliant performance albeit against a woeful team.

But how many times in the past have we made a hash of similar occasions...?!?

Exactly. Far too many times.

It's all in the mentality. Getting at them early won us the game, just as it did v Spurs.

A totally alien concept until now.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Garner was absolutely exceptional today.

There is a real player in there. Had no chance of progressing under Dyche. Gave him MOTM.

A great performance all round though. UTFT!

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I was genuinely amazed just how awful Leicester were

 

[JLW]

Hard to pick a MOTM, Beto the obvious choice but i thought Gana was superb again.

 

[Bryan+]

Faes, is right.

It’s their defence. Truly shocking
