Match Thread Leicester City v Everton (Wednesday 16 December 18:00)

[allen]

Dreadful display by Arsenal this evening.. let’s kick on at home against them next.

Can’t see anything but a win for us at the weekend.

We’ve got momentum, Arsenal haven’t, and we’ll be up for it because it’s a big team at Goodison and we’re always up for that.

But even more than that, we’ve got the fans, which is a huge advantage. Especially when barely anyone else has now. The fans got the performance out of the players that brought us the three points against Chelsea, and I reckon they’ll do it again.

Spot on mate. The 2k fans who are attending Saturday can play a massive part in pushing the lads on to get the required result.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Absolutely. Big chance to make it 9 points out of nine, target another clean sheet and we are in a strong position in the table heading into the festive fixtures.
Not sure who we start in place of Allan but don’t see Gomes as a 90 mins player.

Proper player stepped up when needed. Being round better players and coaches have improved him, easy man of the match!

 

[Jamo Martinez]

We'll actually be going into the game against Arsenal as favourites and with good reason.

We can't start taking anything for granted (as if any of us would) so Just keep working hard lads and the results will take care of themselves.


Didn't see the match tonight due to work but from what I can make out, The team carried on where it left off against Chelsea.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Wonder who'll be sacked first, Arteta or Lampard?

 

[Mr PEN86]

Unpopular opinion but even if he's fit I don't think Rodriguez should start vs Arsenal. Think the balance is better now and if it isn't broken don't fix it. Didn't do much but Olsen looked composed. I'm here for rotation

reaping the benefit of the change in system. A cracking player when we play this way.
Loving the low block counter attack. Plays to Mina and Keanes strength too. Brilliant

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Early days still, but really liking this Holgate-Mina-Keane-Godfrey back four. Four guys who are actual defenders by trade and in the case of Holgate and Godfrey could grow into real quality defensive fullbacks over time.. they've certainly got the pace for it.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Michael Keane for me just, but a fantastic team performance.

Deffo deserves a strong mention. Was an absolute beast in a spell where the had a lot of the ball.

 

[MACCA75]

Same tactics v Arsenal. Keep it tight and nick a set piece goal.

 

[Blues Harp]

Carlo Cattenacio...sort the defence out first then improve forward...the blueprint for any successful side.

 

[Blue Roo]

James coming back to a team that is now not looking to rely on him makes him a promising addition to the way the team is playing.

 

[windymiller]

Doucoure was immense tonight, we'll need more of the same now that Allan is out.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Rodgers of course saying it should have been a penalty despite it being checked over and over by 2 people. The Liverpool in him is strong it seems.
