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

[GrandOldTeam]

When you consider our away form, it's very difficult to build any hope of a result here.

We need Maddison to have an off night, and Barnes to not terror us as he usually does.

Vardy seems to have defrosted just in time for us, and I don't know about Tielemans temperament but a kick or two early doors might have him thinking about his next transfer.

If we can beat them with Mykolenko and Holgate goals last season, I guess anything is possible.

We’re due a win.

Maddison is still pining after Rodgers and looks half the player he was. Barnes is coming back from injury and looked rusty against Leeds. Tielemans is capable of the spectacular but only when he feels like it. Iheanacho is a big miss for us, especially as Vardy struggles to play the lone striker role nowadays. Daka just doesn't appear to have it

Fear not mate - we will prob throw you £20 mill for the lad in the summer.

Best of luck for the season, except for tonight of course.

Big opportunity tonight but Everton always let you down. Not holding out much hope TBH.
Lack of goals and creativity has come back to bite us.
Oh and a poor choices from the manager the last few games.
Feel numb even thinking about it

 

[Stanley Parker]

BBC Sport; "Everton have a better record than Leicester defensively, having conceded 50 goals to the Foxes' 57." So not much to choose between them.

"However, Leicester have scored 44 in 33 games, compared to just 25 for Everton." A massive advantage for Leicester.

A home win for Leicester.

After being totally hollowed out on Thursday night, I’ve got some irrational hope back.

I still think we’ve got an underpowered manager in charge of an undertalented squad, but I think I’d rather the team play in front of our away fans than the home fans at the moment.

Goodison essentially popped last week and I think any hope of widespread buoyancy being restored needs to come with an away win - as unlikely as that might be.

We’re poor, Leicester are poor, but we do have our main goal threat back and all it takes is one good set piece. Our away fans are also the best in the league, and I fancy them to lift the team in this moment of ultimate jeopardy.

You’ve got to hope. It’s all we’ve got.

 

[zaitken]

Not that it would matter but I don't want to see Keane or Godfrey anywhere near the squad yet alone the starting XI.

 

[davek]

Horses for courses. We'll get something from this. 4 wins in the last 6 games there.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Such as Faes with his 2 og’s against the RS you mean? lol

Well yeah something like this. You see it every week though in all the games, mistakes are absolutely rife but apart from Meslier’s against us for Leeds it’s difficult to think of many we’ve had this season.

1-0 Everton win

Barnes will run Godfrey ragged.
I'd rather him play CH just to keep pace with Vardy.

 

[Trimm Trabb]

Such a cracker billy liar referenced it’s a highlight in this great clubs history.

Good times.

They have quality prem level players that can win a match,we haven't.

I know we have won on our last 2 visits there. The home crowd get on them very quickly if things are not going the way they want, we could do with being out of the blocks quickly and taking an early lead.
