Match Thread Leicester V Everton Sunday 29th Oct 2017

[Wat Tyler]

Its like having a YTS manager or some 12 year old on work experience, get this cone layer back to playing against primary school children for Gods sake.

Leicester gave Appleton the reins for two games, he won two, and they STILL went for someone who has pedigree. No room for sentiment, that's what we need to do.

Vlasic is injured. I would prefer Keane and holgate over jags and Williams and would probably prefer sigurdsson to Rooney. But what else can he really do?

The outcry for this selection is crazy.

 

[Chestnut]

We'll be better today, but our back line is prone to mistakes and will struggle with Mahrez and Vardy, whilst our attack on paper looks totally impotent.

2-1 Leicester.

Players do however seem to be in the right positions for a little more expansive football. Whether or not that's what we see, well we can hope. Somebody mentioned it before though, "balance", that's something our line ups have needed for a while. But yes our centre backs could be our undoing.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Only Rooney of Koeman's summer signings starts!

 

[PhilEFC]

Let’s get behind them no matter who is picked. We need this today. COYB!!

 

[streeky]

Our fullbacks need to be on it from the start, Mahrez and Gray are no mugs.

Don't fancy Jags/Williams against the pace of these, I'd take any kind of result is the sad reality.

 

[Brisan123]

It's in no way similar to a Koeman team selection though???

Exactly it’s as though if Koeman signed there is no way on gods earth I’m going to play you unless I have no option
Jags / Williams come on, they are both past it

 

[MACCA75]

Pickford

 

[Soap]

Rooney

 

[Mickey]

COYB.

 

[Connor]

Good thinking.

Shall we look back at Oumar Niasse’s last appearance for us at the King Power?

@Connor - lash that vid up.

Rooney is the best number 10 we have mate.

That's why I think we'll do better and put up a fight. But unfortunately the smallest bit of talent undoes that defence quickly.
