[ADT]

We will score 2 from set pieces

Mate, Arsenal will probably give you the 3 points. The players aren't even putting in performances for a clearly past it manager (Pick which team I'm talking about).

They play in blue.

 

[matty1878]

Really think this Mahrez business has swung this back in your favour. 2-1 loss

Whilst it’s distrupting you still have good players mate specially the away counter attack style. Everton have to win this due to the fixtures we have and as it’s getting harder down the bottom end now

Have you seen our history at their place?

I've been looking at this match for a few weeks, along with the WBA match feeling quite confident about them. The first one didn't
work out as I expected, but I've still been pretty upbeat about the Leicester game. The negativity here has taken it all away, though.

It's been a terrible season, I know, but it's been the same or worse for most other clubs. The way most on here talk we mightn't win
again this season.

Vardy has been rubbished after being mentioned as a possible transfer target this month, but all of a sudden he's going to murder us
tomorrow and we'll get thumped.

I'm just hoping against hope.

Yeah, I think Mahrez is the difference between us being the ‘best of the rest’ to just another mid table team. Depends who we replace him with i guess. It’s ok getting £70m+ for him but we couldn’t go out and attract a player for that sum.

As for Everton I’m sure you’ll be fine. That run you had when Allardyce first came in has given you a big head start over some of the others and you’ll easily pick up another 12-15 points from your remaining games. Will be interesting to see how many points are required this season as I’ve never seen a league table where the bottom half are so tightly grouped

 

[Big Fat Sam]

I think we'll smash these.

2-0 Leicester.

 

[MartSlinger]

Goodison is going to have a disgusting atmosphere tonight.

Can see you nullifying the threat of Vardy tonight, Big Sam surely knows enough to not play a high line against us which means we’ll have to try to unlock your defence. The only way we’re getting in is if you go adventurous, being the home team that’s quite possible.

How’s Tosun looked so far? Looks a big lad but the first game I saw him play he looked like he was chasing down defenders too

Impossible to judge mate because nobody is interested in passing forwards, which means no striker in the world would look good for us at the moment. In two games he's managed one shot. Nobody plays the ball to him, he is isolated up top and scoring is virtually impossible unless he grabs the ball, takes on loads of players and smashes it into the top corner from 20 yards.

Easy win for you lot tonight. Goodison is the easiest ground to take three points from as a visiting team this season. Our team will be booed off at half and full time, and in between the fans will probably be sat there in silent disbelief at what's happened and happening to our club.

Well my biggest hope was that Mahrez would terrorise Williams again because he’s got a great record against him but that’s dead in the water. Also we’re famous for giving teams and players in bad form a gift. Palace beat us 3-0 and Benteke scored his first goal in god knows how long.

I expect Gray will play and terrorise our full backs with his pace. Vardy will also scare us schitless and I think Maguire and co will have more than enough to snuff out our rare forays in your half of the field.

Morgan and maybe Mahrez out.

Swansea winning last night, sad state of affairs when we are looking at whats going on below us.

Think il watch the spurs game instead!

Most of our fans (well on FoxesTalk) don’t rate Gray one bit. Baffles me as he’s one of the most exciting Young English players out there imo. Vardy will probably be isolated unless we play Okazaki with him. I agree that we should be ok defensively, Maguire has been a wonderful signing

He's been bought to score goals but we haven't played anywhere near well enough to get the ball to him in space in the box.

Early days, though, and I think he'll be alright.
