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

A defeat for Leeds is probably more important

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I'd potentially just go same XI as Chelsea for this, but rotation may be needed. Also I reckon either Rondon or DCL should maybe get the nod given Leicester's perceived weakness at set pieces currently, but I couldn't really tell you who should be dropped.

It’s not. We still require points to actually overtake people.

Leeds and Burnley could lose all their remaining fixtures and we could still go down.

 

[Billy Dean]

Same approach as last 2 games IMO. Make ourselves hard to beat and try to nick something at the other end.

Or they could keep picking up points and we'd could still go down. It all helps.

Hopefully the Roma ultras keep them with snide fireworks Wednesday night

Really difficult when you try and balance rotation, tactics and momentum. We were excellent against Chelski and it's difficult to see who to take out if you feel rotation is needed. Personally I would be looking at the Leicester game as one to play the same line-up. We have a week to recover and train and if we get the points then we can rest a couple of players for the mid-week game. We don't want to rest key players and get turned over by Leicester and go in to the Watford game with more pressure and a weaker line-up. I just know if we play like we did, in what was an amazing all-round performance, then we will not go down. But how many times have they flattered to deceive.

1-0 to us with the bonus of contributing to Brenton Fraudgers getting sacked.

Its another must win. Every game is a must win now. We've gone beyond hoping there's 3 worse teams than us, we now need to make sure of it by out scoring the other two every week.

Yeh so us winning our games is vastly more important to stand a chance since we can't affect anyone elses results.

Richie when he gets his inevitable ban.

Richie when he gets his inevitable ban.

I'm only hoping that with the ludicrous and unfathomable decisions that have been made against us this year, which have made headlines and gained an apology from the refs association they simply can't take a star player from a team with 5 games to go in a relegation battle for throwing a harmless smoke bomb at a wall. Maybe those harsh decisions against us will save Richie any sort of ban. If not then serious questions must be asked, and money thrown in to support legal actions. We've been cheated enough this season, and it's not coincidence, it can't be.

You can bet that if an Everton player can be made an example of, then he will be getting a ban, especially if enough noise is made about it from those who want us to be relegated.
