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

[Tree13]

He was awful.

Just like every other ref in the Prem. We really do need to get our heads around the simple fact that we will NEVER get a decent performance from a ref, and start playing accordingly.

 

[BlueInNZ]

Hard earned, ugly but crucial point. Yes a win would have been better but good to get that goal at the end.
Pleased Richy scored, eventually

 

[RomanReigns]

It’s so glaringly obvious how bad our midfield is and how poor we are at retaining the ball and keeping it

 

[BlueInNZ]

We need to keep intensity and performance levels up for the remaining games, therefore a Burnley win tomorrow will probably be a good thing, means we can't slacken off .

How the heck can anything but a thrashing for Burnley be a good thing and definitely not 3 points for them.

May sound daft, but I'd ditch Calvert-Lwein, and go for Pukki (Norwich) and Cornet (Burnley). In a rank bad team, Pukki STILL looks a threat, doesn't mess around and goes straight for the heart of the opposition defence (and can strike a ball well, unlike DCL); Cornet has looked a decent player from what I've seen of him, and is deffo better than some we have at present. We could do far worse than try to pick up those two.

I think both are absolutely dreadful players.

Cornet is like Gray...incredibly selfish.

Pukki has been playing in an extremely attack minded side...hes no better than Rondon.

Blow it out of your puckered sphincter...

WTF ???????????????????????????????????

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

There is still a hole in my local bar's roof from my head when that went in - the owner a Manc

Miles better defensively with Mina in there (aside from the first 5 mins like). Myko getting better as well.

Still really depressing to think we’ve had 10 days to prepare and we put in that performance and effort - I don’t get why we were so deep and not engaging until the 18 yard box. Energy, workrate and tackling were a joke from most of them.

Ah well, onto the derby and dynamo salbutamol fc……can’t wait.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Relieved to get a point, disappointed we didn`t win and with the soft goal 5 mins in a very slow 1st half.

Absolutely criminal missing the chances we do... not just Richy.

Any athlete or performer needs a challenge or goal to aim for or they won't achieve.I want us playing for 38 games, not 33.

 

[roy vernon]

Terrible performance tonight, we got a point we didn't deserve, but, to put it into perspective, 4 points from our last 2 games against United and Leicester is not too bad all things considered. Went with Iwobi as MOTM, purely based on the amount of work he got through.

 

[Grogu the blue]

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

Definitely point gained after the performance, we deserved nothing

Cornet is like Gray...incredibly selfish.

Pukki has been playing in an extremely attack minded side...hes no better than Rondon.

21 goals in 67 Prem games isn't a bad return for someone playing in a totally gash team...
