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

[Tim's tourettes]

This feels like our Trafalgar, Waterloo, gunfight at the OK Corral, Custer's last stand - let's hope we are the Indians & not Custer.

It's hard to see us surviving if we don't come away with something.

COYB

We'll probably bring a knife to the gunfight

 

[Bluesnapper1878]

I would play with three CBs, with one being Mina, and three CMs, with one man marking Madison.

The two full backs/wide players to man mark their wide players. The two forwards to be DCL and Iwobi.

 

[evertony]

Not Dyche's style.

To be fair, thats exactly what we did on Thursday, but our failure to be creative in the last third cost us. I don't think Leicester have the defensive capacity to withstand that level of pressure - likewise, I can see us going all out for 20-25 mins, not creating and then defending for 70 mins.

 

[blue to the bone]

They are under every bit as much pressure as us and will be just as nervy.
First goal if there is one will change the game. If we get it they will come under serious pressure. If they get It we will probably fold.

 

[Toffeelover]

I am wondering if I will be brave enough to watch the game, dare I switch sky on ?

A plastic one at that or one of those joke shop ones with the retractable blade.

I can hardly bear to watch.

 

[Jeff Jones]

I can hardly bear to watch.

I very rarely watch the match live because of the time difference, but I'm going to get up early because I hate waking up and not knowing.
I woke up during the Newcastle game and got up to check the score. It was just after half time and we were down 0-1.
I went back to bed but I would've been just as nervous if we'd been 1-0 up.

 

[Brownie]

What we could really do with is some sort of comedy Leicester mistake that gifts us the opening goal. Please football.

 

[SydneyFan]

Going to be a tough game on paper as Leicester have a good set of players, certainly a better squad than us.

Even a draw probably isn't enough. Need a win no question.

I think we will get it and stun them with DCL.

Leicester 1 - 3 everton.

 

[Buckers]

I can hardly bear to watch.

At least the snooker is on. Leicester score and I’ll be quickly turning over and pretending the football isn’t on. Until I pluck up the courage to put it back on again.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Please no Holgate and no Godfrey

Please

Or Keane. The three horsemen of our apocalypse.

 

[when i score we riot]

On vacation in Italy out of all places, gonna look for somewhere to watch the game tonight. But I guess I will be happier not watching. One more time for the hopeamine levels
