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

Pickford's getting blamed for Everton's goal.

Women eh...

 

[Jim Hopper]

Haha state of BT Sport lol

 

[lungo]

We’ve grown stronger as the half progressed. Great goal from James. Godfrey is immense.

Offside goal despite of VAR LOL.

 

[eurosrees]

Who’s told this commentator to say André Gomesh by the way? Cultured.

 

[Nyhus]

Who has turned on him. He's been shocking, you cant deny it.

Players are praised when they play well and criticised when they arnt.

Davies, Gomes, Iwobi get so much more stick than Richarlison

A ton of people who last season claimed him to be the best winger/striker in England now wants him sold. if thats not turning on him, idk what is. The Richarlison thread says it all. He hasnt been as good as his standard, but hes always working his balls off trying to make something happen, all while being marked heavily and kicked in the shins.

He's a beast. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm starting to wonder should we stick with him at left back and Digne at left wing.

Very clever, disciplined performance so far. Loving this Italia 90 inspired back four. The solidity inspires confidence throughout the team.

Yeah we’ve discovered a new formula

 

[Sharpies volley]

It's amazing how bog standard players like him and Warnock get a career in analysis.

It's appalling isn't it. There's probably lads out of work who played in the Wrexham Sunday league who could offer more tactical insight into a game.

All these commentators do on BT Sport is complain about the game quality. McManaman is always at it. If they don’t like it go home.

Don't know what they expect. We don't have time on the ball due to Leicesters pressing and we are basically stopping them dead at about 25 yds from goal. 2 decent teams cancelling each other out. I am sure they do not understand footy or they are just after bad defensive teams and scorelines like 3-2, 4-3. They are then happy with a great match then at the end destroy both teams saying the defence was not up to std. Can't win.

 

[peteblue]

Love our back 4, it’s an absolute wall.

Since the back four wall was first used it’s been brilliant...

 

[Wat Tyler]

This game has reminded me of a European game so much, these are very good on the ball.

Don’t know why this is italic, but it makes everything I say look very profound.

Everton are the business.

 

[Parker]

Also, Ben Godfrey has to be fastest man alive.

Comfortably.

 

[Seathestars]

We look like a professional set up once again. We were complete Mickey Mouse until Carlo came along. You can sense it.

 

[Ducans elbow]

Michael Owen praising James

 

[maccavennie]

Just be tight and right at it start of 2nd half .

We'll get chances at a set piece or two here. Massive 45 minutes coming up.

COYB!
