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

[witchdoc187]

We can’t be that open against brighton we will get exposed by their technical players

Be interesting to see how we approach it

Play on the counter?

Yeah we'll get torn apart against any better team that was proper gung ho

 

[witchdoc187]

Think that's us safe now,Leeds won't win another game,so a win at home to Bournemouth will do it for us.

Haha

Total points for the 4 still in this based on who plays who, IMO:

Forest 2/3 pts (32/33)
Leeds 2/3 pts (32/33)
Leicester 3/4 pts (34)
Everton 4/5 pts (33/34)

 

[Librarian]

not sure about that if they still have a very slim chance of surviving

Yea but they’re not expected to, so they will be up for it but they’re in ‘give it a go’ territory

 

[Wat Tyler]

We are going to need to get something from the next two for sure

 

[Rita_Poon]

Pickford for the pen save. Outfield was a bit of a mess. Coleman looks serious. Apt really, the support is on it's last legs and now the one player with the best attitude and try all going is crocked. Everton.

Second half was better. We sat in more and gave them far less space. Can’t really think of any clear cut chances they had after we equalised, even when they had spells of possession, we looked far more likely to score on the break. Same set up against Brighton and Wolves away.

Because Forest are not very good and if Southampton can beat us then why not Forest.

Well yeah on that basis anyone can beat anyone, I just see Forest being at home, and they are six points better off with same goal difference. The preferable result of course for us is Southampton winning but looking at the table and the form guide Forest are 2 points better off - that makes them favourites for me, but we shall see

The lowest points ever needed for safety was 34 points (West Brom in 2013/14). We still need 5 to get to that level.

We probably need at least 6.

Hard to see us getting anything against Brighton away (chasing European places) and Man City (chasing the title). Wolves away will be tough but we can get something there. Have to beat Bournemouth at home on last day.

Literally exactly the same approach with the exact same result - openness and defending shambles.

I'd rather that I was right and Southampton stuff them; I'm sure that you'll be hoping for the same too.

 

[blueblood]

I’m hoping they’re motivation dips now, they don’t really have much to play for

They’ve got a heavy fixture list left as well- they play on Thursday against Man U before we play them. Need a performance from us like we saw tonight and we could take something from that game.

 

[RomanReigns]

If Southampton could find a way to beat forest it would be the best relegation battle in the prem for sure

Yeah I think we’ll be a bit deeper
The ball over the top is what kills us, need to be disruptive and counter.
