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

[everton fan number one]

Is it just me or does anyone else not feel particularly nervous for this?

I’m
1) In denial that it’s happening
2) conscious that it’s do or die

If we’re nervous on the pitch we lose I think.

 

[Nymzee]

Lose this and we definitely don’t deserve to stay up. Sides around us keeping giving us chances to overtake them.

 

[Goat]

A win gives us a chance, a defeat hammers the nails further in, a point is about as much use as a flamethrower in hell.

Onana out tonight according to twitter

I know this is going to sound paranoid, but there is something iffy about that lad, he’s got ability and is inconsistent and he loves to be a cheerleader, but now he’s out with an illness? He’s only just bloody come back into the team.

You do wonder whether some players can’t stand the pressure or whether they see their future elsewhere next year and so are protecting themselves

Correct

 

[Drico]

Trying so hard to be positive about tonight, but deep down we all fear how it will realistically end.

They'll turn those guns on themselves, won't they...

I’m not, because whilst I hope we win, I am not expecting one, and it is not make or break…..yet. 3 points would be massive though, I do think we will see a reaction after Thursday

No Michael Keane please he causes long distance Ebola , everytime I watch what you could generously call defending my eyes start to bleed same with ben godfrey

Two hours to go. Just want to get on with it now

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

One Hour to Team News...

Let's see if I can communicate with Dyche...

DROP KEANE, DROP KEANe, DROP KEAne, DROP KEane, DROP Keane...

Worth a shot!!

yep, should have gone for Deer Hunter

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Both teams very crap at football. Only one team will illicit groans from the crowd when passes are misplaced. Could work in our favour.

I have seen one particularly rousing and venomous tweet from a Leicester supporters group telling everyone to make sure they take their scarves so they can “hold them aloft whilst smiling”. Terrifying.

That's some top notch speculation there without any basis of factual info

 

[GoldenToffee]

Pretty sure that useless bald get won't dare not play a right back tonight, so depends if Coleman is fit as to whether Patterson comes in. Unfortunately can't see him changing the centre halves as he's got a very weird fixation with them.

Pickford
Patterson-Keane-Tarkowski-Mykolenko
Iwobi-Doucouré-Gueye-Garner-McNeil
Lewin
​

Keep it tight and see if that is both strong enough to overpower their midfielder AND put us ahead. If we can get and stay ahead with one up top no rush to change it, if it's not working we can look at, hopefully, Simms and Gray for Iwobi and Gueye.

 

[Azza]

Not looking forward to this.
