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

[the golden visionary]

Looking at the replays pickford seems to expect a deflection to his left and starts off that way then has to go back to his right. Then he trys to tip it round the post.

Get nigel martyn in to teach this lad how to be a goalie

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Get douc back in for Davies for horse punchers. Consider iwobi instead of richarlison too.
But most critically, drop Pickford. He always commits hari kari against them and coming off tonight - where he will know the two points dropped are down to him - he is a risk we are able to avoid where we have an able deputy.

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

James's piece of beauty leveled with this... argh, I really don't want to see Jordan as our first man anymore

Bit harsh we just haven't got a good enough back up. Midfield. They can't keep possession. Makes it difficult to win enough of the ball and maintain pressure. That will change with new faces I hope.

I get 4pts against a rival is a great return, but at 1nil, and after weathering the storm in the 1st half i was hoping for a change 2nd half. Instead we sat deeper and allowed them into our box a dozen times and had a lot of last ditch defending to keep them at bay.. but at some point the ball will end up in the back of the net playing that game especially with prickford in goals.
Disappointing, seen that 4th spot with games still in hand in big lights at HT, shouldve known better!

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.

The manner of it is right.. pickford aside DCL and Gomes had great chances to win it right at the end.

 

[Caolam]

More of the same second half.
Don't normally drink on a school night, but what the hell

I am exactly the same, just poured Mrs C a white wine and I am having a beer and a small whisk

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Only just seen the replay of their goal and it’s worse than I thought at the time if that’s possible. It’s not struck with a lot of pace and he isn’t really unsighted first it

It was a shocker - again being a midget his arms not long enough to get to it.

Olsen would have got that away even if he had flapped at it

Doucoure for Gomes. Someone has to want the ball in midfield. And yes Iwobi in but I'd go for Holgate. You need real threats at fullback against a team as poor as Newcastle. Digne back at LB and we are set.

 

[Jayhow15]

You realise you still actually have to win those games to even be level on points with us?

Your lot way superior tonight. Robbed. But that's how it goes. Barnes is a right player. Love it if Richarlison had his drive.

 

[Chrismac]

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

God knows

 

[Fansince1988]

Rogers just said he was happy with Leicesters mobility, that’s our problem do show enough of that, I’m not sure some of our players are capable of that.

 

[hktoffee]

Pickford got an assist come on.

 

[Ring master]

Leicester have proved once again that they are a very good side, i am more than happy to get 4 points off them,they are so good

Yeah a pity. We just need more options going forward. Another version of Richie so we can drop this one.
Got to be sharp and positive from the off on Saturday and smash Newcastle.

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

Nope. One good summer window.
