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

[banno]

I suppose Myko....turning out to be a real good defender. Tried to get forward also.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

I'm going to stick my neck out and don't think it was quite as bad as many are making out. I've seen many performances which have been worse and if Iwobi or Dominic Calvert-Lewin had scored etc etc. However, Leicester closed us out really well and deserved the win but not many teams have a Maddison type of player, absolute quality.

Mate stop. You need to be worried about relegation or you are deemed weird on here.

 

[blueblood]

That was the worst we’ve played this season. Toothless in attack and lacking any intensity. I’d give Cannon and Mills a game if in the league cup midweek, can’t be any worse than our current attacking threat.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Bad day at the office. Onto the next one

Entirely possible I’m just being a cryarse but this felt like more than that.

 

[spudmuncher]

Imagine if we could do the basics and pass the ball to each other .... those 4 for Leicester in midfield embarrassed us by passing the ball to each other .... we are in big trouble again , one of the worst performances I've seen in a long time, .... but our players are dead good at passing in training , and wear hard hats at our new stadium ....

 

[Mark_EFC]

It’s so easy to defend McNeil. The ball never leaves his left foot. It’s pathetic to watch actually

 

[ForeverEverton]

2 shots on target in 90 mins of football, 1 shot on target in each 45 mins.......

That is worrying, that is exactly the type of attacking form that will take you down....

 

[ToffeeTim]

It’s so easy to defend McNeil. The ball never leaves his left foot. It’s pathetic to watch actually

He is far too slow and one dimensional

 

[glory_daze]

You cant lose this sort of home game with our away record.

Pathetic performance

Pathetic result

True, we have taken 1 point off Villa, Forest and Leicester so far this season,all teams in bottom 5.

 

[T LEAFE]

Still in near enough the same position as we ended last season but closer to the relegation zone on points watching the same absolute tripe we got served up last season.... Are we progressing??? Really???

Perhaps we need to look at the manager, Patterson, Tarkowski, Coady, Gana, Garner, Onana, McNeil and Maupay all new additions to replace the "deadwood" yet getting same result and we look like another 7 players away from a decent team.....

Something isn`t right!

Unfortunately everything isn't right
We are a shambles of a team
We have 2 decent centre halves but that's about it
No creativity
No forwards
No one who is comfortable on the ball (like Maddison today)
We treat the football as ifs a hot potato
Caress the bloody ball. But we can't do that
At this rate our first game at BMD will be against Tranmere

 

[dylsexicbleu]

was he ever going to be a good signing. and throw mcneil into it too. 2 very poor signings. coady and taroski made sense. the other 2 above didn't.

The top of the pitch is invariably more difficult to get right than the defensive side. It's usually far more expensive too.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

It absolutely does.

If you think thats the case , I would be wasting my time trying to explain why it doesn't.

 

[Cool_Blue]

Taling of superstitions, we're always dreadful when the game is live on TV. Palace? 3pm kick off, sorted.

Neutrals must look at the tv schedule, see we’re on, then go and do something more productive, like watch some paint dry.

 

[Fansince1988]

Disappointing performance. 1st half tactics were off and players were making individual errors. So did Leicester to be fair. And in fact I think they have made more mistakes than us in both halfs - but we were unable to punish them. We were not ruthless nor clinical. Leicester was ruthless whenever we made an error.

I just can't see us scoring without Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Gray has been found out. Anthony Gordon is not influencing the game enough. McNeil lost that confidence to just take the shot.

If we are relying on DCL we might as well give up now, if he goes the the World Cup there’s something seriously wrong. I’m happy with the defence and relatively happy with the midfield, but I’ve had enough of the offensive player they are all terrible.
