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

[ToffeeTim]

Forgot Doucs' suspension, Allan to replace him then!

Well he's injured for at least another fortnight

 

[Sharpattack]

but we beat them away so does that mean nothing??

Nothing.

 

[Pootsy]

Lose this and Top 4 is gone. If we can't beat Leicester at home we don't deserve Top 4. Bad enough losing at home to West Ham, who are now above us, but losing to them just affirms that the squad isn't good enough. \any time we start with Davies shows how poor the squad actually is. If we do win it's despite him being in the team, not because he's in the team.

We beat them at theirs? We know the squad is light but it has us high up the league. Over the next few games we will see our better midfield generals reintroduced and then hopefully we can string together another 6-7 wins in a row again.

A solid performance and a loss is no biggy tonight but a win is definitely preferred.

Nothing.

but losing to them at home means top 4 is gone? ahahahhahahahaha

You take out any team in the league bar maybe City’s first choice centre midfield pairing and they would struggle. We will defo need injury’s to be kind for us, for the rest of the season, same as any team looking to mount a top 4 challenge

Like I say, one game isn’t going to define the season either way.

One of those games that can go either way. I do fancy a draw but have a feeling the chickens will come home to roost tonight in terms of our rank squad depth.

Davies and Siggurdsson shouldn't be anywhere near the first team if we have hopes of CL football.

 

[matty1878]

Game by game lads. We will win tonight

 

[Efctrueblue]

Pickford
Godfrey Mina Keane Digne
Gomes Holgate
Iwobi. James. Richy
DCL

That would be my team

 

[Death]

Im in work again, what a shock, m8ssing far too many games for my liking

I'll be going 100 miles an hour home to catch the second half aswell. Same as last wed. I get offended to my core anyone asking me to miss an everton match.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Nervous about tonight, it’s a must win game tbh. If we want top 4 we simply have to win

No. Its not. If we draw we are still very much in the mix. Still 21 games left . 63 points available after tonight . Loads left to play for

 

[Jim Hopper]

I’m looking forward to having Richy & Digne down the left again it’s been a while since we’ve had them both playing together, both massively compliment each other’s play. Sure I seen a stat yesterday that in all the games James, Richarlison & Digne have started together we’ve won, one a draw. This is what we’ve missed over the last few weeks. I’m excited.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Iwobi combines nicely with James.

Digne with Richi.

Keane passes well out of defence.

DCL is predatory in the box.

We're a tall team, dangerous from set pieces.

Hope we have enough to beat them - I'm confident.
