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

Beto's two goals were clearly a tactic. Spotting a weakness in the opposition and exploiting it. Not just punting it long and hoping for a corner.

The lad will score goals against anyone in the league, if we give him passes like those today, he’s done it before against the barcodes.

Yeah. If he gets goal side, nobody is knocking him off the ball.

I like Vardy. Has attitude.

He’s still a rat.

 

[Tommy Chong]

I love beating Vardy more than anything.

Horrid rat.

Apparently, when he was subbed off, he was on the verge of tears when he heard the Everton fans chanting about his missus?

Can anyone verify this?

I like Vardy. Has attitude.

I can't spake.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Last time he'll ever see us and the whole stadium was laughing at him.

 

[PhilM]

Vardy got subbed,park end sung about his wife being a grass,they sung hes won more than you.

The Street End started off calling her a grass, before moving on to calling her a slag. He didn't look best pleased.

 

[irishtony1878]

Are we still selling Beto to Torino??!
That would be just like Everton.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Their fans were signing "Jamie Vardy he's won more than you "

Don't think I've ever heard a stadium laugh as loud.

Before the game, I was reasonably confident of us getting the three points today, despite the injuries in forward areas. Leicester were a team that give up plenty of chances and thought with that, we’ll create enough to win by a goal or two. That performance was beyond my expectations and the only downside to it, was that I was late to the ground and missed the first two goals!!

Plenty to be made up about. Beto’s best performance in a blue shirt by far. Garner playing like he hasn’t had a lengthy injury lay off. The defence keeping Leicester to a single shot on target. Ndiaye. 4 goals and 9 points clear of the drop. It was an important game for us and to not only win, but to do so convincingly, was brilliant.

I do have to say they were one of the worst sides I’ve ever seen at Goodison. Loads of basic passes going out of play and the chuckle brother defending for Ndiaye’s goal summed up their performance to a tee. Hard to see them staying up if they carry on like that.

Safety wise for us, still not job done just yet, but something would have to go badly wrong for us to go down.

I mean... It's kind of true, innit?

I don't like using derogatory terms to tear somebody down, you know?
But in this case, it's not a coincidence that WAG rhymes with slag...

 

[Howards tipple]

Absolutely made up with that result.

Only a month ago, that would have been a drab disappointing performance that we could have lost.

Now we have belief and confidence growing. Actually looking forwards to Everton playing these days.

That seagull in the lower Gwladdy just kept cracking me up

Same here mate. Once I spotted it I couldn't stop glancing over at it.

 

[argietoffee]

That Faes is Paul McShane bad.

Just watch him for Ndiaye's goal.

He just stops....scandalous footballer.

He is way worse than McShane

The scout who scout him !!!!

I suppose the Alcaraz deal makes perfect sense especially since no permanent deal kicks in until certain games are played or whatever the terms may be.

Right now he won't even be starting games, but I'm sure Moyes will take a good look at him when we ultimately lose a few and/or drop form for a number of weeks.

He will hopefully be able to manage it so that, if he sees enough and he likes what he sees, he can have the clause triggered, and if not he can keep him benched, wish him well and send him back.

Seeing as Moyes has made it clear that a. We aren't getting any of our top targets and b. We'll be in a much better position to invest in the summer, it's a good deal.
