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

[Berenger]

Didn't they score in the 94th minute?

Dunno but I remember when Davies gave the ball away I looked at the clock and thought it was well over the min + subs.

Jeez that hurts. So cruel.

The positives: We played well for 2 thirds of that game. Leicester had by far the most possession and barely troubled us the the first half. Great goal and in control.

Leicester were always going to come back at us - they're quality.

The negatives: the poor subs and the lack of game management. Making basic errors at critical stages undid us. This time it was Tom Davies who's been playing well recently. Against Spurs it was Alex Iwobi. When the game is safe, just play the simple pass and keep the ball. We don't seem able to do that. Didn't Clive Woodward call that T-Cup.....Thinking Correctly Under pressure. Whatever it is, we don't seem to have it.

If we did, we'd have won against Spurs, at least drawn against Brighton and today. On 19 points we'd be 8th.

Not sure if the obvious improvement today can save Marco. It'll probably get lost in the fume.....

Yes has to go, Tom Davies was out on his feet the whole second half, .

Aw bless him, how old is he ? and he cant put 90 minutes in.
Bally would be laughing in is grave

Just a quick question do you think it would of been better to get beat 3-0 then lose like that today after playing well. Was having the conversation with my dad and brother and that moment seems like the same last season with Pickford at Anfield. And we know how that killed us off for a period of time. The worry is now we are already in bad form. Don’t get me wrong I liked that we played Better but it feels the same.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

I thought we played well today. We was definitely worthy of a point. I know people are crucifying Tom Davies on here but he played well for 70 minutes. I thought he visibly dropped of in the last 20. I said to my mate just before the goal he should have been subbed for either schniederlein who I can’t stand or Bernard just to get fresh legs on the pitch. The sub for kean I thought was the correct one. We finished the half playing a bit deep but I felt we played a bit higher up the pitch and could have gone 2-0 with a bit more quality before it went to 1-1. We seem to be cursed as a club.

Didn't see much improvement. Even with one up, something was telling it would finish like it did. It's a season long story, oponents always look sharper, faster and stronger. Did we create any good chance? Make some decent pressure? This play was hold on, maybe we don't concede, up the front, maybe we do something.

 

[MACCA75]

Absolutely suicidal game management in injury time - Yet again.
We need a manager who drills the team to grind out a result. Silva clearly can’t.

 

[Tramps_mate]

A perfect example of 'Everton that', today...

Ditto.

 

[donny]

if it wasnt for bad luck we would have no luck at all.

Great team effort and performance which ended again in heartbreak.Been said many times before , we are cursed .Its not the greatest set of players we've ever had but they gave their all.

 

[marsh]

Gutted! The curse strikes again.

 

[irishblue11]

the sad thing is was anybody surprised or even annoyed when they scored. the whole life has been sucked out of the fanbase at this stage.

Me to. We didn’t deserve to lose nor did silva.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Cant believe im saying this but i feel sorry for him.

 

[Cool_Blue]

He was poor today. Im not even surprised now how easily hes beaten. Attackers dont even have to dribble... they just breeze past (or around) him. Shame as he was such a breath of air to us originally.

This. It’s worrying, he’s been poor this season, why? I have no idea.
