Aww god, that old one! Why the hell would you need to trust me?
Dont have an opinion unless its positive.
Good luck with that

[duncs pigeon]

Gained a point on Man U, kept same gap with Leicester, gained a point on Villa. Lets be positive, a point against a very good side tonight, taken four points off them. Up our game and get three points on Saturday.

 

[Zatara]

Hopefully they're all fit for the weekend, would be nice to see us be able to put out a full strength squad for the first time in months

If we can add Allan and Doucoure and have 2 months with no injuries to our first 11 we'll be right in the mix for top 4

 

[BenToffee79]

All I’m seeing is rancid negativity,yes we struggled without any legs in midfield and Carlo
should have brought on Sigurdsson and Iwobi earlier ,but we had two great chances at the end to win it and we’ve taken 4 points in just over a month of a very good Leicester side,could be worse could have lost to Sheff Utd at home ,or threw away a 2-1 win to lose at Burnley

“Thanks for having me”

Good lad

Possession Everton 35% Leicester 65%

Shots on goal 8 - 18

Shots on target 2 - 6

Corners 5 - 11

Annoying but with those stats a draw is ok.

Still p-ed off with lack of passion and "put to the sword" mentality that I remember from the 80s.

Brendan Rodgers says Wilfred Ndidi felt a tightness in his hamstring but doesn't think it's more serious than that, while Jonny Evans left the pitch with blurred vision in one eye. "We think he'll be ok

Rodgers was delighted with his side's second half showing at Goodison Park and felt with a bit more luck, they could have taken all three points...

Rodgers: "First half was a bit too precise trying to score the perfect goal. We said to open up the pitch, get crosses in, and we looked a really good side. I enjoyed watching us, we had a constant rhythm and showed great attacking spirit."

He was particularly impressed by his side's reaction to going a goal down: "To come back against a team who showed us real respect, we showed great quality in the second half. Performance wise, I'm very pleased."


The manager also defended Ayoze Perez, having chosen the Spaniard to start ahead of Kelechi Iheanacho: "it's the responsibility for all players to score, not just him. He was unfortunate a couple of times it didn’t drop for him, he worked really hard."

BR: "There's nobody in the world that offers the penetration that Jamie Vardy does. So you have to play in a different way and I thought we did that."

 

[Tipp blue]

I heard "goremish".

Commentator's best line was something like " this is a 10 out of 10 performance by Leicester even if they lose" at 1-1.

Commentary was horrific tonight. I don't get the love in with Leicester.

 

[bluelegend]

Injuries and suspensions hurt us due to the lack of quality throughout the squad. Particularly in midfield. We can cope with injuries at the back (wouldn’t mind if our keeper got injured either ) but elsewhere and we feel it more than other squads at the top of the table. Carlo played what cards he had available tonight and I thought he did ok. Pickford doesn’t mess up and we’re raving about Carlos tactics.

 

[evertony]

I like the way everyone dismisses Leicester, who had won 7 of their 9 away games this season, and should have made Champions League last season. As I've said before they are at least a year ahead of us. If we'd had Allan and Doucoure it might have been a different story, as it was at their place.

This all day.
They are a year ahead in their development.....in another year with Carlo at the helm we will be a much better side. That said, we’re already ahead of where you could reasonably expect us to be with the squad overhaul that’s required.

We’ve taken 4 points from 6 against them....I doubt many others will.

Bit of perspective required. Key players out, opponents in a great run of form and an error costing the equaliser.

On to Saturday.

What about the dikhead pronunciation of RicharliSON? Worse than Gomesh which is probably correct mind you.

“Iwobeh” was making me fume a bit.

gave us undue praise tho at the start of the game and one of the few commentators to have actuallly paid attention to our improvements

 

[Death]

We'd get champions league with Olsen in for the rest the games.

Kopite you x

Newcastle will be interesting.

it will, but still makes me sick every time I see them coming next fixture as I remember the disaster in March 2019
