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

[superkeeper]

Ahhh, the old "keeper returning from injury comes back and has an absolute worldie" storyline. Not completely original, but don't feel like we've had it in a while.

Off the top of my head, I can remember Vito Manone in that Boxing Day game against Sunderland back in 2013 where we battered them, even with 10 men and lost because he was pulling off save after save. I’m struggling to think of someone else since, but sure there must be someone else

 

[Bluebonic]

It’s a don’t lose but try to win but make sure you don’t lose as you try to win but a draw would be okay but a win better.

My thpughts exactly, I think?

 

[davek]

Tough game this will be.

As much as I was confident of us v Brighton last week given the form down there in recent years, I dont fancy this one as much, tbh.

Dog of a record against them at Goodison: last 10 at home...

Score draw at best for us.

1-1 / 2-2.

 

[Yarrgh]

Doucoure and Beto both starting would be odd, wouldn’t it? Our two centrally-positioned attackers each unable to control a football?

Release the hounds Moyes!

Do you know what - I half expect them to actually play - and maybe even score ...

... keep it quiet though or someone might put me in a padded cell for such outlandish thoughts.

 

[Ged G]

I'm honoured

Yes, but whatever you do, do not accept any invitation from him to meet in The Lisbon pub when you are next in Liverpool...

 

[Ged G]

What will be will be. Might as well focus on the positives rather than the negatives

Wow, another sensible reply! So there is hope on here!

 

[MACCA75]

With Doucs and Beto up front it’s safe to say it won’t be a thing of beauty. We may just bludgeon them 2-0.

 

[bluedave59]

Sure we will go at them for first 20.minutes. hopefully score and settle the crowd. But more importantly please blues Don't lose.

 

[RomanReigns]

Remember Baines goal against these in the carabao cup.

Belter

Just saw a report saying Calvert Lewin is fit to play after being subbed off at weekend, and Mangala will line up alongside Gana, following a knock at the weekend....seriously just give up on the whole football thing if you can't get that right! I shouldn't have clicked in fairness!!

 

[ClausThomsen]

Was thinking we might struggle as we're nowhere near as good as the last two results suggest but then I remember that Van Nistelrooy really seems to be a gash manager.

Really comes down to who brings their worst game to make the other team look better. Hopefully an energetic encouraging start gets the crowd going and makes the difference.

3-0

Bish bash bosh

Bish is fit but I think Bash and Bosh are still a couple of weeks away. Maybe a Bish hat trick?

Can you explain why you think a match 8-10 years ago is remotely relevant to what will happen Saturday?
