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

[FOXINPEACE]

Carbon copy of the first game. You're happy to let us have the ball and counter attack when you can

 

[Azza]

What's Ndidi done there?

 

[PITA]

BTW, the control by Bofano for the goal was shocking.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Has Richarlison completed 1 pass or 1 dribble?

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

I reckon Carlo is comfortable enough with how this is going.

Everything they’re doing is in front of us at the minute, so we’re comfortable enough, but Fofana and Castagne in particular for them are there to be had. Need to be on the front foot second half, or risk the sucker punch.

 

[the golden visionary]

Ndidi doesnt fancy it vs james

 

[Cool_Blue]

Richy hasn't played well in an age

Just wish he’d hang on to the ball for five seconds ffs. Like a headless chicken atm.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Imagine this was the RS and Thiago had scored it... the commentary team would still be touching themselves and reminding us just how he is the best midfield player to ever grace the Premier League.

 

[PhilRegan]

Richarlison needs a wake up

 

[kenada_blue]

I really wouldn't hate Iwobi coming on for Richarlison just to get some ball progression

Wouldn't change much. Richy can still turn something on which is usually why he stays on even if he's utter poo. Which he has been for a while

 

[Dublin blue 75]

United losing opens another opportunity to us this evening...

 

[EFCPaul]

Imagine Richarlison was at his normal level? Just so frustrating seeing him like this...

Is trying too hard, has been ever since he came back from suspension. Needs us to back him and things will suddenly click again before long.

 

[PeregrineT]

Ndidi going off might change things a bit, because hes been very good

 

[TheBigIguana]

Carbon copy of the first game. You're happy to let us have the ball and counter attack when you can

And in addition we've gone ahead without actually opening you up again which helps this strategy out no end.

I always feel we're playing with fire though like this.

Never thought that could be a sensible comment but yeah
