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

[blue to the bone]

After 2 very impressive wins as match thread maker I will be taking a break until the derby. I would like to hand over the cup game to @Moomin .
I need to recharge my batteries and be in top shape for the vermin.

That penalty. Wow!

Agenda much?

 

[ToffeeTim]

How on earth was that not a penalty lol

That penalty. Wow!

Agenda much?

And Liverpool get there's for a miniscule flick on Gakpo

Do we field a weakened team vs Bournemouth to keep everyone fresh for The Derby?

Wow. Didn’t realise how much of a penalty it was in real time. Thought it was a shoulder charge. How did VAR let him get away with that?

It's bent.

Can't see Moyes doing that. He now knows how much his reputation as a manager is enhanced by winning a trophy, and I also think he'll want to keep the momentum going.

Got to admit I was pro Dyche. How wrong I was. Turns out we're not as bad as he'd have both us and the players think

I get it. I was pro Dyche at the beginning of the season and thought he deserved his chance to take Everton in to Bramley Moore after the previous two seasons and saving us from relegation.

But man, he really had nothing in his arsenal other than that negative ‘play for a point’ style. He was way out of his depth.

I know it’s not the main takeaway from today, but we could have a game where JFK and Lord Lucan come on as subs at the 59 minute mark, there are two goals from overhead kicks, and one of our players accidentally deflects the ball in from his chopper… and we’d be behind the KS on MOTD

Compare that to the soft as sh te one the RS got.
Unbelievable.

Went with Beto for sentimental reasons. But really for me it was Garner. Next level.

Absolute joke. The core principle of VAR is to reinforce the referee's decision. Not to arrive at the correct decision.

Not long finished watching the game delayed "live". Wow, what it is to just totally dominate. Should have won by a bigger margin but let's not be greedy.
Best thing is that one of my other sons is visiting family for a couple of weeks and went to the game with my brother, his uncle. What a game to see!

It's been years since I've seen us play with a press, well since jan 2023. It's the most basic of basic coaching, yet we've been devoid of it since that time.

So much better, as most knew it would be, without that absolute waster.

Genuinely, he got 5m per year for what?? Zero coaching, zero shape, zero structure. Just 11 guys in some semblance of a formation, at least 10 of which behind the ball, hoping for the best. He should be absolutely finished after his time here.
