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

[Thomasc]

team selection will be very interesting tonight, to see how he sets up.

no doubt in my mind that Digne and Iwobi are straight back in, so how he does that and manages the weaker central midfield area due to the key losses will be important.

Carlo will run Brenda through a spaghetti maker, stick him in salted boiling water for 6-8 mins, throw him at the wall to see if he sticks, slowly pick out with tongs and allow some of the starch water to drain into his sauce, sensually mix around, serve with Parmesan and ceremoniously eat with a glass of red wine.

Bellissimo!

What a match we have in store.

Whoever gets selected in midfield needs to step up big time.

Tonight is a real chance for us to lay down a marker and put ourselves in a great position.

COYB!!!

We’ll win this. They’re a good side but a little overhyped in my opinion. Richarlison and Dom to run them ragged and our defence to do the business and shut them out.

Would love a James screamer but that’s just being greedy.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Bellissimo!

*Buonissimo

 

[Nymzee]

I think it’ll be:

Pickford
Godfrey/Holgate Mina Keane Digne
Iwobi Davies Gylfi
James DCL Richy

Match day so on goes an Everton shirt.

Pedantic much? lol

 

[hallamblue]

My team would be:

Pickford
Holgate Mina Keane Godfrey
Richarlison Davies Gomes Digne
James
DCL

As others have said, very worried about the midfield, but if we can stop their fullbacks, and then in the last 20 minutes bring Iwobi on for James or Richarlison to run at tired legs or nick one from a corner we have a chance.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Would like to see this as I think the key will be stopping their midfield:

Pickford
Godfrey Keane Mina Digne
Davies Holgate
Iwobi James Richie
DCL

Think we’re more likely to see Gomes and Gylfi both play though.

They are seemingly very confident in this

Last defeat was us. Played 8 since. Won 6 drew 2.
No different to Everton fans when in a good run.
Absolutely love the only two defeats in 9 would be Everton.
Midfield really is vital in this game. Shame no Allan.

 

[Brownie]

Wow what a massive game this has become right now.

 

[kenada_blue]

Home form needs to improve IMO. Can't progress if home form isn't solid.

Can't lose tonight.

interesting that Lawro predict our victory, usually he is on negative side when we play top sides. Win will really put us in great position. Everybody talks about midfield but think that fullbacks will be the key.

We're putting 5 past these clowns.
