Match Thread Everton v Leicester Wed 31 Jan, 19:45

That's a priceless 3 points.
How were we?
On relative terms..

Mixture of shambles and excellence. Cruising at 2-0 and looking like we would get more. Gave a soft penalty away then bottled it for 10 mins before we gained a bit of composure back. Great games from Walcott and Seamus. Glimpses of great football but the old habits are seemingly too much to shake off. We deserved the win overall but Leicester hit the woodwork a few times to give us heart attacks.

Was shaky at the end there for everyone but we came through.

I think a player that will be overlooked today but had a hell of a game was jagielka. Thought he was solid

Gana also immense. Reminded me of last year

Rooney started the rot should have been subbed 20 minutes earlier!

Did our best to Everton that up, didn't we ?

Thank God for Seamus.

 

[Nymzee]

Just papering over the cracks a little while longer. But win is rare these days so pass me a beer.

How old was Colin Harvey when he debuted at Milan?

He was 18 mate

But hey, let's compare Davies to one of the clubs best ever midfielders, that sounds fair like

 

[Toffeelover]

Keane had a good game, showed he can come really come through for us.

 

[deipnosophist]

Coleman brought that entire team up a level today

How he isn't the captain is a travesty tbh, should have been one 2-3 years ago

We can thank Moysie for that, who, as parting gesture, appointed the inimitable Capt Jags as skipper

 

[TGW89]

Coleman and Walcott first class. I cant believe a guy can have such a horrific injury and come back and be that good

Whatever he broke, whatever he crocked, he didn't need it.
We're just glad he's back that good...

What is it with Davies, runs round okay but there just seems to be some thing not quite there.

Have you somehow forgotten the performance from our midfield in the previous game? Just running around is something Schneiderlin can't seem to manage, let alone moving the ball forwards.

 

[Toffeelover]

If Davies aspires to be there then he needs to look at his game, also gave the ball away too much.

 

[banno]

Rooney started the rot should have been subbed 20 minutes earlier!

He was making us tick before that incident so I will have to disagree with you on that Joey

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Still worrying signs with this knobhead in charge.

Lol. Where would we be without him. He has kept us up. We would have lost that game if he wasnt here. Review the situation in the summer but to be calling him a knobhead when he has got everton in a safe position from an utter shambles we were in last november does not add up kid

 

[Lob]

Massive win for us that. Nearly evertoned it up thanks to a completely needless penalty given away which changed the whole game. Some good efforts from quite a few of them tonight though and man what a difference it makes having Coleman back. Toss up between him and Walcott for MOTM but giving it to Coleman as he was exemplary and influential from start to finish.

Not talking about SChnieds, why bring in that crap player?

 

[tommytowne]

Just loving the result.
Can't believe Seamus lasted 90 minutes. What a hero.
