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

[Toffeeback]

Hard to judge the rest of the team accurately when Gana and Onana are so far off the pace that their midfield can just stroll around doing whatever they want. Can't keep possession at all with two midfielders playing so poorly. Wouldn't mind seeing Garner and maybe even Davies on at halftime.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

That was just sloppy. Can't pass the ball and cant keep the ball. Leicester look more comfortable with the ball and winning all second balls.
Our passing in atrocious

We’ve got Iwobi, just nowhere near as good, sadly.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Have to change that midfield...Garner on ?

Garner for either of Onana or Gana, I’d almost be tempted to do Davies too.

 

[GoldenToffee]

A kin pathetic half of football and so negative from 'leaders' Coleman, Coady and Tarkowski sadly. Not a positive pass between them all half.

 

[Rita_Poon]

So, gotta make the pressure pay. We aint.
Letting Maddison onto the edge of our area to try at goal repeatedly. 4 different times its broke there and theyve had a go.
No surprise theirs has come from there, we aint fighting the second ball close enough.
Feels a strange game, like its being played at a stroll by both sides.
Gotta get on top and snatch a half chance here. Also surprised Gana's not in the book yet. Bits of nice play then it fades or we play it back and lose the edge with them panicking. Wakey up time!

 

[BlueStevie35]

If we don't get another 4+ points before the World Cup we're down. Massive 45 mins for our club coming up.

We aren’t, there’s still a crap load of points to play for

[Gooner66789]

If Lampard makes no changes, subs or tactics wise he may as well go home.

it'll be the same as the first half, dominated in the midfield.

 

[Parker]

Someone want to tell me why we're playing 4 3 3 again after bumming Palace with the 4 2 3 1?

Drop Onana next to Gueye, push Iwobi next to Dom, get Patterson on and maybe Gordon for Gray.

We've really struggled with progressing the ball. Need to put Onana deeper.

 

[nsno-chris]

Onana and Gueye have been bad

But Jesus christ, I’d openly try and sell Gray and McNeil at half time. 2 of the worst players I’ve seen in recent times

Utterly abysmal players

Any pics?

 

[bigstickytoffee]

Our midfield 3 getting outplayed by their midfield 2.

I make our midfield 1. Iwobi is all over the pitch, fu(k knows where Onana has been playing -or been during the 1st half. To make matters worse, the midfield 1 is now past it and way way way way way off the pace.
No excuses Frank, changes required now.

 

[glory_daze]

I would get Davies on for Onana and Gordon for Mcneil, best we can hope for with our goalscoring is a draw now.

 

[mahermi1]

Leicester been much the better team, Maddison is running the midfield, they could be ahead by more, though Iwobi should have scored, poor miss. Great goal off Tielmans, we have to improve play much better than this if we want anything from this game. Onana has been poor for me and Gray non existent.
