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

[marsh]

My mates going and we haven't won this season when he's been so expect a draw or Leicester win

Knew it

 

[MACCA75]

Thanks mate. Thought we was gonna blow it at one point

Your lot are a good side, was a joke you were at the bottom. So many quality players.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Lampard thinks we went toe to toe in big parts of the game ??????????.... we got humiliated

Gets a free pass because "he gets us"....

Dont perform then you pay the consequences..... and he isnt performing, its still pretty bad.

 

[Bluebirdie]

Mykolenko and Iwobi putting in 50 percent of the workrate on their own. Rest of our team should be looking upon them as role models at this present time. Something I never thought I'd say!

 

[TyphooToffee]

Iwobi yet again for me. I feel sorry for him that he's being let down by those not good enough on the day to make the most of his slick play.

 

[MACCA75]

I have said it before and I will say it again, why do we always set up to defend, it doesn't matter who we play or where we play we are always on the back foot, and why do mess about in our own area with the ball. The very least I expect from a professional footballer earning millions of pounds is to be able to pass the ball to our own men. I give up.

They had a chance from kick off - and I would bet that the ball has been in our box within 20 seconds in every game we’ve played this season.

 

[PhilM]

We couldn’t match their intensity and the tempo in which they played; when we attempted it, we couldn’t keep hold of the ball.

There were a fair few opportunities and we were attempting to play creatively, but due to the above so many passes went astray.

Same with Pickford’s woeful distribution. In terms of substitutes, the players didn’t know where they were meant to be playing, let alone the fans.

 

[Clarky cat]

As soon as iwobi missed the sitter in the 10th minute you knew what was coming

The 11th minute?

 

[Groucho]

Bad day at the office

ADD TO BASKET

 

[marsh]

Awful. Too many seemed yo be going through the motions. And attacking wise I think we have the worst options in the whole league and that's what will cause us to be in a relegation battle

 

[UltraVires]

We matched them in terms of effort but fell woefully short in quality in the final third.

That is going to be a theme all season unless we can get one or ideally two good creative or attacking players in January

 

[Chough]

Tarks and Coady looked totally bewildered at times.... half assed swing and hope clearances, standing there like ones o' Lewis's in the box like tailors dummies.

This is what stood out for me. So many of the issues in the first half were entirely of our own making.
Misplaced passes. bodged clearances. Really frustrating.
Gray looked like he was trying too hard.

 

[PhilEFC]

Your lot are a good side, was a joke you were at the bottom. So many quality players.

They are. All good footballers and comfortable on the ball.

Tbh I don't think any manager would do any better.... I mean we've tried nearly everyone else ?....its just rinse and repeat , ... we have three good players the goalkeeper and the 2 centre halves , the rest are really poor , can't pass the ball to each other .... the 4 in the middle for Leicester, fast , agile , technically top class, not afraid to pass forward quickly.... we can only dream of players like that at everton

 

[Saint Domingo]

I know we were poor but we really don’t need goal of the season contenders flying in against us right now
