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

[T LEAFE]

The good news is that we somehow have 33 points
The bad news and the reality is is that we are miles off being a good side

 

[Jamo Martinez]

If they're so much better than us how come they're only 6 points ahead of us having played 2 games more?

 

[BlueTX]

Americans spell it Docore

Americans can't get past the Abdul part.

This is a team that has won at City, Spurs and Arsenal. We were without Doucoure and Allan. I’m disappointed with the performance, but if I’m honest I expected us to get beat with that midfield, so overall a point isn’t the worse score line in the world.

i don’t think anyone including myself is that unhappy with the draw. It’s more the manner of it.
Another howler from a keeper he insists on playing. Why sign Olsen? We didn’t even try to get a second until they equalised.

4 points from a good Leicester team is a good return. It’s all about the manner of it. Had Pickford not dropped one and it was a good goal then I would be less annoyed.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Have to admire Leicester’s tenacity and determination tbh. They fight for every ball and play some lovely one touch pass and move stuff. Something I wish I could see us play like....

 

[banno]

Tactically inviting that much pressure for the whole second half is foolish .... doing so with Pickford as your GK ... insanity

Did we invite it?

 

[TGW89]

ends 1-1

Of course....

As for MOTM, Big Ben gets it.... anyone who votes Pickford should throw their broaband in the bin and exist peacefully in Nepal as a mountain eunuch. Not an apocalyptic result but could have been so much more. Sheff U beating Mancs makes up for it.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

it's a bit frustrating because I really think we could have won this if we started the 2hf with a mad desire to score another one

I feel your frustration specially now that I just saw again the goal against us, Pickford really is rubbish.

Kinell Leon in the studio to round out the night

 

[Marius57]

Defended resolutely but we were at home against a team without a recognised striker.

Was a real opportunity tonight to capitalise on teams around us dropping points and put us into an excellent position. Instead, we are once again lamenting pickford for yet another abysmal mistake. He can't handle it at all and doesn't appear to have the head for the very top level.

Richarlisons reaction at full time says it all. It was a poor performance and we were lucky to get a point.

 

[AndyC]

Voted for Keane who was immense but, thought Tom Davies had an excellent game, particularly first half

 

[BigBlueConk]

Another strange one.
Battered for the most part.
Score a worldy.
Could have snatched a winner.
Might have won but for a keeper blunder.
Probably the right result, but feel we still should have taken all the points at the whistle.

They will feel the same.

 

[Zatara]

I guess.

can’t expect to win every game, but that performance was absolutely dreadful wasn’t it.

Im confortable watching our defenders play in the setup and see us using 'negative' tactics.

If we had Doucoure and Allan wed have won

Likewise if we had taken one chance or pickford didnt make a mistake...wed have won.

Im happy with the point.

 

[donny]

unfortunate for that goal...but they are a cracking side, bang in form.

4 points we have taken from them now, need to be positive.

Agree they are a good side a point was a good result,we missed our defensive midfielders who could have made all the difference in turning defence into attack.Keep on going Blues we've got a great chance to finish this season on a high.

We knew our midfield would be over run without docoure and allan. It was. We scraped a draw against an in form team. If we had one of docoure or Allan back we would have beaten then comfortably I think. So good news in a away ha.
