Match Thread Everton v Leicester City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[BlueStevie35]

A point isn't that bad a result on the face of it, it might be if we don't beat the Horse Punchers on Saturday. We are still within 2 points of 4th, maybe a wee bit further back pending the result tomorrow but we're doing ok

 

[MACCA75]

Annoyed that we essentially waited for them to equalise before we started playing a bit higher up the pitch.

Harsh on Pickford letting a stupid goal in like that.

Thought recent games he's dug himself out of a serious rut of errors, had played well and then lets himself down badly tonight.

Hope he doesn't let this affect him like often seems to happen.

i think saturdays result might determine whether we view this as a good point or a poor one, need a decent performance and a big win!

 

[Verbal Kint]

Got a point from a game we played crap in, better than the West Ham result, Just couldn't get near them, defensively solid again, Pickford will get the blame and rightly so should have done better.

We move on, as someone said above far from finished article, will help when Doucoure and Allan return.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Played badly without our first choice midfield and didn’t lose.

Apparently they didn’t have Vardy
Didn’t realise as it wasn’t mentioned.

 

[andy4efc]

I mean they've scored from a keeper error, Would have been perfect if Pickford wasn't a blert.

Ancelotti keeps picking him. So again, falls on Ancelotti. The decisions seemed a bold one.

mall I can imagine is that he sees how little football quality we have without Allan and is trying to grind out results until summer.

You deserved the 3 points, I could of done kaspers job

Feel a bit conflicted. At half time I didn't see us coming back into it but disappointed not to win in the end. Just not clinical enough

 

[ah11984]

Style wise we are pretty grim to watch at the moment. Today was a good point, no doubt, but was 11 behind the ball really necessary in that first 20 minutes of the second half. Could even see James getting annoyed by it.

 

[TheNinja]

Not great really that so happy with a point.

We are set up to defend well and make the most of pace and the breaking ball. However, that doesn’t work as well if Richy isn’t up to speed which he definitely isn’t at the minute.

I am not sure what’s going on with him as he was smacking the ground at full time. I’d even consider dropping him to the bench for Newcastle as he either needs a rest or a kick up the arse

Because Gomes passed to the opposition again for the 88th time

 

[roy vernon]

Draw was a good result for us tonight, Leicester were the better team, but, they didn't really trouble us until the latest horror show from young Jordan.
Man of the match, for me, was the wonderful James, all the quality out there tonight came from him.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Thought gomes played well tonight. Pity about that cock up at the end

 

[Sharpies volley]

Disgusting performance at home to a rival, system wasnt working from 1st minute yet didnt make any changes until they had equalised. We cant keep getting lucky when lying deep.. distance between midfield and Dom was scanadalous and meant nothing stuck up top. Dont think the Digne LW project works, shouldve went with him at LB and put Godfrey to the right as Mason gives us absolutely nothing going forward. Iwobi shouldve started in front of him.

The thing for me though with Dom mate, yes he was isolated for long periods but he doesn't help himself sometimes. He makes himself too easy to mark.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Gomes is like playing with 10 men.

According to Talk Sport he was our best player in the 2nd half
