Godfrey's sheer athleticism at the back there has been crucial on a few occasions.
Not many players in the league can beat that Perez in a foot race, but he's done it a few times there and nullified his major threat.

Hes a great player who will get better

Godfrey is one hell of a player. Has everything - pace, power, technique, mentality. Reminds me of Rio Ferdinand.

I've amended your post.

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

Honestly never thought 4 centre halves would work so well

 

[Martin Alvito]

More or less what I expected, less the ninja goal. Gone the full Mourinho, and nicked the goal.

Let's not count our chickens yet.

I’m all for equal opportunities but some of these female pundits chat utter wham.

I swear I'm gonna lose the plot if I watch one more Everton game and upon Everton defending a set piece the commentators go 'Everton are very deep, you almost never see a team defend that deep, it must be a tactic to deal with such and such'... Actually infuriates me! We do it week in week out.

Sad isnt it
Shows thet dont watch anything except 2 minute highlights. Which in turn explains the level of punditry

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.

It's the BT commentary that needs reporting.. it like a bad spoof comedy.
As I type, I'm hearing the half time pundit say 'Pickford' wasn't getting near that shot from James ??
Nobody corrected her

They'd fit in well on here then eh

This is such an important week for europe aspirations. Beat Leicester and stamp our mark on Newcastle and we will start to pull away from the chasing pack. Dont mess this up Everton !

 

[PITA]

Best bit of punditry ever heard on BT

She's probably been told to push the knife into Pickford whenever possible so it was maybe subliminal.

No worse, and much better, than the likes of Murphy, Savage et al.

Also, peak pragmatism from Carlo so far.

Without Vardy they lose that direct threat and leaves them without anyone to attack crosses so they are trying to play more centrally.

I think that's why we are happy to sit back and soak up pressure. We're not committing enough men forward for their fast technical players to counter and exploit space, instead, they are moving the ball forward and trying to either brute force dribble through a packed area or hit it from distance, which suits us.

They've dominated a lot of possession have Leicester, but never really looked too threatening.

More defensive snidery in the 2nd half please, blues
