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

MoM Seamus. Just because.

Before the game, Leicester, with their apparent superior forward options to ourselves, have only had three more shots than us this season.

The issue is getting these shots either on target or stopping us missing the big opportunities. We aren't clinical.

Even when we do convert a chance or 2 the same idiots cost us again.

Can't argue with the performance tho , just wish Dyche would swallow his pride & drop Keane , its every game now.
He also should have made some changes they were running on fumes there.

23 shots at goal highest since 2019 , that's some stat away from home.

Our crossing from decent areas and set pieces leaves so much to be desired. It should be our best way of scoring but none of Iwobi, Patterson or Mykolenko can put a decent ball in.

Honestly. What happened to our threat from corners too? Used to get me to sit up when we got them. Float one to the back post for Tarky to get his head on it. Seems it's just gone out the window

DCL sitter was bad............Keane destroyed by Vardy..........Iwobi sloppy passing leading to 2 goals doesn't get compensated with his neatly taken goal

 

[Fansince1988]

Would have liked to have seen some subs but not much on the bench.

I suspect he thought the pace of the game was too much for Onana who is often timid/slow on the ball & Gray has started not tracking back again when out wide compared to his work rate up top.

Maupay & Simms wouldn't have done ought.

Shame Townsend wasn’t back for the run in, I really think he would have helped us.

[Telford-Feb-85]

Our final pass is truly terrible. We deserve to be relegated.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

I think it's time we blamed the players here, it may help you sleep at night to blame countless managers but the reality is a turd regardless who has it is still a turd

This is ENTIRELY my point, mate. Nobody here will say our players aren’t crap, but in 3/4 games under Dyche so far, his decisions or lack of them have directly led to probably 6-8 points dropped.

Even despite our utter rubbishness, we could have been safe with a better manager.

 

[Street end man]

Don't know how much more the footballing Gods can give us, results went our way at the weekend and Maddison misses the pen that kills the game, yet we still can't capitalise on it. Miss sitters like the DCL chance and it's really not bad luck if we go down.

Your desire to defend that God-awful manager both before and during his tenure as Everton manager never ceases to amaze me.

Fella's a joke.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Only one forced substitution- what Manger wouldn't reinforce our midfield?

CLULESS...

To be fair I thought we looked leggy from 65minutes. We had enough chances to win comfortably but you can’t make the mistakes we are making and expect to win football matches. Keane goes to pieces when he’s under pressure. That handball was criminal aswell as his block for the 1st goal. He had to get there 1st. Iwobi has lost the ball in key transition areas under both Lampard and Dyche and has lost us points a fair few points. I’ll take the point following the penalty save. But a couple of changes to freshen it up could have got us over the line. I thought after a shaky start Patterson did well once he settled and big shout out for Seamus. He lives and breathes Everton and I hope that injury hasn’t ended his career.

 

[GraemeS1980]

If and it’s a big if we win two of our remain games we’ll have 35 points, we are relying on the others losing all their games

 

[RomanReigns]

I don’t Maddison is ever gonna go down the middle again after today

 

[April1970]

Anything from the Brighton or City games would be really useful now.
