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

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.

Maybe Moyes has figured out Doucs is crap now.

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

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

we have no real option other to do that

doucoure isnt getting dropped anytime soon until Garner and Tim are fully fit

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

Sebastian Frey for Fiorentina in the goodison leg was the ultimate one, including a couple of saves in the shoot out

probably the best individual performance I’ve seen at goodison

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!!

Would it have been a GoodisonNews article by any chance?

Garner will surely just take Mangala's place this weekend.

Doucs will just have to do a job again of basically running around without actually controlling a ball or ever looking a scoring threat which he's successfully pulled off for the last year.

Leicester have a few tricky players but are suspect at the back, we need to really squeeze them as we did first half against Spurs, harder with DCL out.

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...

L 5
D 2
W 3

Score draw at best for us.

1-1 / 2-2.

Calm down Yoda.

God bless.

Based on the training video, it looks like Beto up top (naturally) still with Doucs playing behind. It makes sense given the lack of depth.

But oddly, Lindstrøm didn't feature at all in the scoring drills. Jack Harrison seemed more active, so I wonder if Moyes is planning to have Lindstrøm available as a strong substitute from either wing or attacking mid. I expected to see some young players training with the squad, but only spotted Stanley Mills, but it's good to see Iroegbunam back as well and looking comfortable. I didn't notice Harrison Armstrong or Martin Sherif, who you might expect to see given the thin squad.

Suspect is generous. Can't remember the last time we kept a clean sheet
