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

[Jreverton1]

Would like to see this front 4 play together regularly. Kenny has been caught out badly several times. Right back currently our weakest link.

Now that Bernard is fit, we'll be starting with this front 4 most games. Real quality there, just a shame the back 4's not so good.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Does feel like we're playing without a striker tbf. Not sure Richy is the one

He may take some adjusting to it, but hopefully he gets there. I think the problem we face is one of Sigurdsson or Tosun needed pace and neither had it. Richarlison is more of a 1 on 1 player and is amazing in isolation.

 

[Tin-Tin]

All the nice build up play means nothing if you cant take your chances and repeatedly get done by 2 passes on the counter. Until he improves the defence of decision making we need to stop throwing everyone up.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Why do we always get these awful injuries ffs and end up stuck with players at least two divisions outside of their level? Last season Martina, this season Kenny.

a cynic would say that we have the money to buy a better back up.

 

[Saint Domingo]

It’s just Everton away from home. We just don’t win them.

 

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

Can see this playing out similar to the Arsenal game if we to get on the front foot early as we did at the Emirates and knock Leicester out of their stride. Hopefully that will yield a goal or two but it is likely that they would get back into it at some stage. Can see us grabbing at least a point here if not all three, but I'll go for 2-2.

Maybe I shoulda done the lotto this week.

Ok, half time pop quiz

When was the last time Everton were winning 3-0 away from home at half time?

Was it a Dixie Dean hat trick ?

 

[Jimishorts]

Great listening to Motty doing the radio commentary. Mind you, the first thing I heard him say was ”and Leicester have equalised!"

He’s also called Pickford, Jason and got Sigurdsson mixed up with Richarlison and Zouma.
Time for specsavers.

 

[FOXINPEACE]

We’re such similar teams. Can play a bit but are both comical at the back at times

Who gave the ball away for their break from our corner. Tried a little first time pass, but that leaves us wide open if it goes wrong.

Need a better option when in that scenario.

 

[BlueToff]

Can't believe Walcott took that on himself... Was screaming for the pass and would have been an easy goal.

This. Massive chance and a player with so much experience should do better.

This is the type of stuff that's costing us. Experienced players making crap decisions.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

I think there was a heavy touch for Kenny to intercept before Pereira even got near the box and he didn't get it. Then to dive in is ridiculous.

If anything he should have gone in on that heavy touch, like you say. The ball was right there, so God knows why he decided against going for it. Deserved to be made a fool of for that decision alone.

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Was it a Dixie Dean hat trick ?

It's probably never happened!

 

[hktoffee]

A young defender being caught out by a tricky bit of play, who would have thought it. Was poor by Kenny, but was left exposed by other players, and Pickford certainly should have done better!

He is just crap. He needs to bring their player down a get a yellow.

Gueye.
