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

Well done Everton great result.

Really chuffed for Theo with two calm finishes.

We really needed to win, and did. so happy here lads.

Ale.

 

[LiamG]

Well that was close but good result.

We can still get 7th.

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

Really? Other than poor at defending set pieces, we played really well? Think you might've picked an odd time to make this argument. Just enjoy the win.

I think we were very lucky to get the points and it was vital we got all three considering the form of the teams below. Still a lot of ball to be played. I doubt it will go as well as it did for him tonight.

Nice irrelevant response.

Well, it's not irrelevant is it? They've been a superior side so far this season and Chilwell has been playing each game with aplomb.

Walcott for his goals and energy. Inspirational return for Coleman as well.
Think it should be noted that Keane / Gueye /and Davies had better games than in the recent past as well

 

[PhilEFC]

Anyone know what the pen was given for?

Important 3 points, got 31 points now, after 25 played, 13 games left of the season, possible 39 points up for grabs and we only need 9 of them. 3 more wins and we are safe, or 9 more draws. COYBs!

Walcott looked deadly in the box, if it were not for some bad off side calls he could have had 3 or more.

Niasse could have had 2 before half time

Coleman was class, could have scored if he had gone with his left instead of his right

Cheers mate.

Got to enjoy the win haven’t we? Otherwise what’s the point hahah..

I thought Keane had his best game for a long time, just a pity he can never get a header on target at the other end. Vardy only touched the ball once and that was to score the penalty.
The penalty was very soft I thought, particularly as Rooney was victim of GBH in the LC area a few minutes earlier for which he got nothing.

 

[Stutheblue]

What a relief at the end. Started slow and Leicester could have gone ahead. Once we scored we were controlling it. Then we concede a penalty and go into complete panic for 10 minutes!! Almost cost us the 3 points and we got away with it a bit. Big win for us.
As for Seamus.....outstanding effort.

Well, it's not irrelevant is it? They've been a superior side so far this season and Chilwell has been playing each game with aplomb.

He just got absolutely bummed for 90 minutes. £40m players don’t play that bad.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Niasse worries opposition defences even when he doesn't score. Tom Davies puts energy into the attack, and no-one could accuse us of not passing forward tonight. All round a much improved display.

There must be some very upset Sam haters tonight lollol

Anyone know what the pen was given for?

Rooney stuck his arm out, and the Leicester player ran into it and went down like he had been shot by a sniper. The ref was looking right at it and gave a pen, as the ball was played in, 9ft in the air.
Technically a penalty, but a rubbish one.

 

[Zatara]

He just got absolutely bummed for 90 minutes. £40m players don’t play that bad.

Clearly hes not worth 40mil today. It's because he's young and English + at a direct competitor.

10mil player becomes 20 because of that...and this season fees have doubled.
