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

[Tony101]

Brighton will be tough but if we can get anything there it will be a massive boost.

 

[Wat Tyler]

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.

It is vile that we still haven’t reached 30 points and we are in May.

 

[Bluesaint]

Not good enough at all. Honestly can’t see us getting maybe 3 points more. Leicester were there for the taking and we didn’t press or make some smart substitutions. Awful players in certain positions and average in others. This can’t end well.

Superb performance and two goals scored away from home for the first time since mid-March.

Stunning atmosphere, too. We as fans really got the team over the line.

As Carragher said: that is a massive point for us.

I really can't see Leeds getting another point all season. And after next weekend Forest have got an exceptionally difficult run-in. So if we get one point before the last game of the season and then beat Bournemouth that will almost certainly be enough.

This time last year were 5 points adrift and firmly ensconced in the relegation zone. We can see salvation!

You honestly believe 30 points keeps us up?

 

[witchdoc187]

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

Lol think you might need to look at the league table again.. Plus they've 3 games in hand

 

[witchdoc187]

You honestly believe 30 points keeps us up?

That would be 33

 

[Strayfox]

Should have beaten them, although we played better, they were so open. Easy to see why they have been getting hammered. Too many points dropped from winnable games.

I don’t think Leicester have been getting hammered by anyone as, despite losing 20 games, their goal difference is only minus 13 against Everton’s minus 25. In fact, it’s far superior to any of the bottom 8 clubs except West Ham. They even only lost only 1-0 at home and 3-1 away to Manchester City. Just stating the facts.

 

[Ring master]

So very unlucky not to win overall tonight, game could have been about 7-6 - not actually sure who got MOTM but surely had to be the Foxes keeper if they give one

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

You honestly believe 30 points keeps us up?

No.

But 33 probably will.

Seriously.

Why did you copy and paste this from the other thread

And it’s not a fantastic point against a team that is ahead of us in a relegation battle.

 

[Nightman]

“Slightly better than abysmal” won’t do at this stage, alas.

This was meant to be the guy that, if nothing else, takes the fight to teams and bullies them into submission. Barring his very first game, we’ve seen none of that. Meekly surrendering a lead once more then, when we get back into the game and have momentum… *tumbleweed*

Fraud after fraud in that manager’s position. Cowardly decisions, or lack of, are the reason we’re done for.

I've watched a different game to you.

9 shots inside 20 mins
Their keeper MOM
Fighting like they did not under Lampard
Deserved to win

That was anything but abysmal. It's in our hands - play like that in each of the next 4 games and we are anything but done.

I agree they aren't going to get much in-game help from Dyche, though.

 

[GraemeS1980]

I have Leicester winning one more, us winning one more and one draw, Leeds to draw one, forest to win one, Southampton to draw one. Finishing

Everton 35
Leicester 33
Forest 33
Leeds 31
Southampton 25

It’s going to the last game so get all your underwear laundered because I went through about eight pairs tonight

 

[Rob17896]

Players have set the bar for the last few games, if we play with that type of fight then we have a chance, McNeil was immense tonight, Iwobi made up for his nobheadedness second half, Keane was a liability, Garner, Gueye, DCL & Doucs ran there nuts off.

Keane is ok. Put him up against Vardi with the ball played behind, there is one winner. Dyche hung him out to dry tonight. Great game though.

 

[pejic]

The Bournemouth game will be to late to save anything. Everton are at least 80 % down the drain.
