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

[bluelife]

They play twice before we play

Surely they don’t win both...

Probably about 4 times Gray didn't pass to him on the overlap tonight

The overlap was also covered. Gray did the right thing taking his guy on inside imo, didn't come off.

Truly awful finishing and a major amount of luck with Leicester missing their many chances. Mykolenko MotM just in front of Iwobi who faded. Would be nice to see someone pass to him on an overlap. How can so many of our players have so long without a game and still be shot after 70 minutes?

Oh, and Rodgers is the most unlikeable manager I can remember in the PL. Klopp being praised for his 'gegenfouling' but Rodgers takes it to another level with time-wasting and play-acting in the first half.

Of course it helps.

A point a game will get us over the line in all probability.

It is so long since we drew a game we have forgotten the importance of snatching a draw.

If only we had turned three or four of those one goal defeats into draws we would be all but safe right now.

7 points from 7 games keeps us up IMO, gets us to 36. I dont think Burnley are gonna get 11 points from 7 games and if they do fair play to them.

It would be nice to still be above them come Saturday night with 2 games in hand becuase our next 2 are Liverpool and Chelsea, you can pretty much write them games off. I`m going for a nice long walk on Sunday afternoon without my phone, I dont really want to be watching that game.....

So many posts saying what an awful performance, what did you expect from this lot? 4 points from 6 against United and Leicester with this bunch is a good return.
Anyone saying start Rondon need to take their head for a wobble, it’s happened before and he’s been tripe when starting.
Five in defence and five in midfield Sunday, go all Simeone on the RS Sunday otherwise it’ll be a rugby score.
As for DCL, any club that wants him send your offers in because when he is needed he doesn’t show up, literally

Post update​

Everton 0-1 Leicester
The TV camera cuts to Frank Lampard who looks completely fed up.
His side is heading for another defeat. Leicester are temporarily down to 10 after an injury to Patson Daka.
An Everton corner is swung into the box and Salomon Rondon puts it wide.

GOAL - Everton 1-1 Leicester​

Richarlison
A crucial equaliser right at the death!
Incredible scenes as Dele Alli does well to carve out an opening which falls to Richarlison via Salomon Rondon.
The Brazilian buries it from close range and Goodison goes crazy.

1-1 means nothing really

Whatever happens tomorrow we cant be in the bottom 3, that really matters.

 

[Joey66]

We played caveman togger at the end there my necks still hurting from looking up

We passed backwards far to much midfield was a shambles.....

Everton should carry a government health warning. Plays havoc on the cardiovascular system, not to mention the gastric system!

Should come with a box with Everton fans drinking themselves to death, no fingernails and bottles of bleach on the cover

 

[verreauxi]

I'm not religious, but I'd bring a large sign that says "Job 19:20" to our last match if we stay up.

 

[Aberblue]

That is a horrible stat.

A dreadful indictment of our season.

Now let's make it three games!

 

[Chegsy]

One out of three ain't bad. And for the record a "great night" is Bayern 85, JR's first game, Ferguson vs the Mancs to basically seal 4th

The latter was 17 years ago tonight FYI.... that's Evertonian progress for you.

Tonight, we drew against a Leicester team with both eyes on a probable UECL final. Adequate, not great.

17 years! Remember celebrating that goal like it was yesterday.

 

[II McColl II]

I just honestly can't with this team anymore.

We were absolutely shocking have somehow come away with a point and part of me is still completely at a loss how we've not won with the 2 Richarlison missed sitters.

Nothing about our club makes any sense anymore, nothing.

 

[Lob]

Point gained or two dropped?

I guess we’ll find out come the end of the season

Probably a point gained when you are in a relegation battle and as crap as we are i think mate.
