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

[Marcus Halberstram]

missed the goal getting the dog ready for his walk, he was demanding to go out.

 

[Frenk]

Alex Iwobi is genuinely gonna be the Kevin Campbell of my generation.

I love him unconditionally.

I have to say his effort over the last few weeks has been second to none.

 

[navidson]

We are crap

 

[ZissouBlue]

Got dominated in the first half, but desire and pressing kept us going in the second half and is the reason we nicked a draw. Quality in the final third was mostly atrocious. This game more of must not lose for me, though right on the edge of must win considering it was home and considering how much more rest we've had than Leicester. Luckily a last minute equalizer can have a similar effect as a win in keeping momentum, which is really important right now, especially with a few difficult games coming up. We're likely getting torn to shreds this weekend, but important to keep perspective. They're the best team in the world at the moment, so we need to get through with some dignity and build off the last two games. I'm not down after this one.

 

[Khalekan]

What a gut punch for Burnley.

They are sitting there cheering what looks like an inevitable defeat for us one moment….the next the gap is widened to five points.

Cursing their luck….it would have been a two point gap but for them missing a penno v Hammers and us snatching a latw point v Foxes

Oh when the saints....

 

[ProZ]

That ref the weak chinned gimp looked like he was from Leicester aswel

 

[CatalanToffee]

Need more creation, need more last pass and without Sigurdsson or James we can only trust Gordon. Dele is an ex footballer, Gomes is soft and always injured, Delph is silly, Doucuré is not the same as before his injury, the Dutch is injured. Need DCL fitted, need more by Gray. Richardlison is not a 9, I don't understand how he can fail that 2 chances, don't understant why Brazil trust him, you realize how bad are them for the World Cup.
I'm sad and angry, today was too important like against Burnley was.
Sorry for my English.

Despite our atrocious away form I fancy is getting a result at Leicester. They’ll have played away at Roma on the Thursday and will either be flat from being knocked out or resting players ahead of a final.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Well done to Dele like

Total lost cause that and he somehow fashioned a goal out of it

I’m very tired and worn down following that

Anger is an energy but it also drains you

 

[Clarky cat]

I thought the whole team was awful. How they've had so long to prepare for that game and serve that performance up is pathetic.

Fair enough but Mykolenko was nowhere near part of the problem this evening. No legs in central midfield except Iwobi was the issue for me. Mykolenko wasn’t helped at all by Gray who hasn’t warranted playing time for months now

 

[atrottel]

Story of our season. Good game toffees

Just hope you are enjoying your European away days. Seems like decades since we had them and I miss them...

 

[john jako]

Scary how many times we gave them chances by individual errors.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Why not?

this was one of those games we will have targetted for a win.

clearly burnley have the far easier run in.

Our goal difference will take a hammering next week as well.

 

[Chegsy]

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.....

I’m expecting a thumping at Anfield but you never know vs Chelsea. Maybe we could nick a draw if we are set up right. Not expecting anything more than that but they have had some strange results the last month. Maybe wishful thinking.
