Niasse is untouchable. In the darkest times for us he came up with the goods so anyone hating on our sweet African prince can suck it.

Yeah, massively disappointing he missed those two(although one he created himself), but he alone has spotted us 6 points this season. I will gladly forgive him a bad game if we win this. Better to miss 2 when you have already scored 2, than to miss 2 when down by 1.

We are the greatest side to ever play football.

Absolutely right. That said maybe he's worked a tad too hard, what with the err, FA Cup break and everything, so maybe 'rest him' 2nd half.

Er.

Pint?

Ah, you never saw Brett Angell.......?

haha just before my time sadly, but my family did tell me stories.

After driving the length of Ireland today i needed a ‘pick-me-up’

Ta Everton.

One of the best halfs I’ve seen younplay for 2-3 seasons. And Martina? When did you learn tekkers? Could have shown it for the last 5 months mate!!

What a difference a goal makes.

Make no mistake, we were turd until then. Suddenly we remember we're the home team and how to pass. A bit.

WE’RE GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE

Playing much, much better with only one DM whose first name isn't Morgan.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We played fairly well from the first goal. Created chances and should be 3 up. Seamus is such a boost out there. Great seeing him out there.

 

[Yarrgh]

Typical. Can't even get a decent stream when winning. Bah! I blame Big Sam.

 

[Veyis]

why is Tosun not playing ?

 

[electricblue]

2-0 up and 2 sitters missed.

Ni even assed.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Let's be fair, it's about time Everton carried Niasse to points rather than the other way around

What a great post that is.

Lots of things coming right for us at last. If we were a bit more ruthless we could easily be 4 or 5 up. Walcott looks a cut above and I think that Coleman’s return can’t be understated.

Amazingly I think that the formation that Sam is playing is crucial to Leicester’s fragility. We’ve nullified their quick counters and when pressed in a group, their defenders aren’t comfortable. Only Albrighton seems to be able to pass and it’s always the same one over the top that Keane is dealing with.

Even Martina’s game has picked up from the first 20 minutes
