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

[mahermi1]

Just replaying their goal again, horrendous from Pickford there, firstly, should have left it go for a goal kick, doesn't, needlessly gives a corner away. From the corner, he goes for it and flaps at it hopelessly, shot comes in, not a great shot, quite close to him, gets a hand to it and should have done a lot better. Olsen should get a run in the team.

That’s a point gained. Can anyone please tell me why Gomes was called Gomesh all night

admit it, when the corner came in and it fell to Gomes back post, who got excited.....

 

[Toffee-nerd]

I agree we have had a good season and we could be have won more games if we had a better goal keeper. I'm still startled that he is one of the main goal keepers for the National Team.

Me too. Makes no sense. "He's a good shot stopper". Isn't that the absolute minimum requirement of a goalkeeper? He's a genuine liability. All keepers make mistakes that cost points but pickford is consistent in 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

The worst part about it we only need a half decent keeper , teams are not getting many chances agaist us, so when they do all we need is a bit of stability between the posts.
We will never be a really good team with pickford in goal, I would play Olson for a few weeks and go all out next season for a decent number 1.

Leicetser 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

It just goes to show how great Doucoure and Allan were as signings. At their place we controlled their midfield with them two players in it, without them we couldn't get near them.

 

[Furey1878]

Worried about Davies and Gomes together

Alas while I wouldn’t say this cost us, it did really make the pressure mount.

 

[Zatara]

Godfrey motm for me...

I don’t even think that it was to do with his short arms, he gets more than enough of his hand/wrist onto the ball to push round the post, it was just very poor goalkeeping

Because Portuguese names aren't pronounced like they're Spanish. I'm genuinely not sure what the right way of saying it is but Gomes and Fernandes do not sound the same as Gomez and Fernandez.

Agreed mate - sadly seems like Carlo has some misplaced loyalty towards him.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

We could have won the game only for poor keeping and we created the best chances in the last 10 minutes. Leicester are a good team and we did invite them on too much, but we have come on as a unit and get the Duke and Allen fit and I think we will have a chance against any team in the league. Bring on Newcastle on Saturday. Very confident of a win.

 

[hibbo'sclass]

I spent most of the evening berating Andre for wandering round losing the ball and being very ineffective.
Went for Mina - was either him or Keane.
On the bright side, play that lethargically and get a point

 

[Seathestars]

Yeah, i seen you posted it was a near perfect performance!! Take off the blue tinted mate and talk sense.

It was, only for Pickford.

In Portuguese words that end in "s" are pronounced " sh"

 

[FOXINPEACE]

Between us we called that result mate. Pickford hasn’t done anything wrong for months but you kind of know he was gonna cost us when it mattered most. If I am honest Leicester deserved at least a point but were out of ideas when he gave you a point. I’d be happy if he never plays for us again

Still a point on the board for us both. Second half of the season will be exciting
