Match Thread Everton v Leicester (Sunday 9 April, 16.00)

[Brownie]

whys that?

OMG, what's going on?

Leicester lads. Serious players.

 

[RomanReigns]

Drop the top scoring striker for no good reason? You would make a good manager of something, but not a football club lollollol

History means nothing

Naturally the reigning champions might think that.

Come back to us in a few years when you're neck and neck with Yeovil and fighting for the Johnstones paint trophy. Then you'll be certain that past achievements mean a lot.

Don't be ridiculous.









It's the Checkatrade Trophy now.

Good Lord, these faux brummies win their first ever piece of silverware and we're supposed to pay homage to them?
4-0 Everton and God bless @Jamo Martinez for a top preview.

He'd literally have to only forget last season! lol

Shocking that you don't remember Leicester being the scourge of the RS in the 60's.........

We have all but secured our first top half finish since 2014, so I would take a point against the Premier League champions later today.

Sadly, I can see them having too much for us. They may have had a disastrous start to this season, but they trounced the RS the other week and they are now in the last 8 of the Champions League.

Mirallas better start

Leicester win games because managers that the play against keep playing a high defensive line against them. They best the others a couple weeks ago. Klopp had his center backs on the halfway. Leicester didnt try to play football once. They hit good long balls over the top into space either direct on goal or into the corners for vardy to hold up. Play a deep line and their game is nullified.

Defensively I'm concerned that we're missing so many names, but hopefully we'll still have enough to beat Leicester.

..and one of those CBs was Lucas. Tactical naivity bordering on the criminal.

Why do I get the feeling that Mirallas won't even start today, though he's done nothing wrong? Still baffled at Koeman taking him off vs Utd.

Would like to see this:
Robles
Jonjoe Holgate Jags Baines
Mirallas Davies Gueye Lookman
Barkley
Lukaku

I'm sure we will in our sold out away end (like usual)


You say that like it won't be a long time till Everton win something. Don't worry, I'll be on here after the game.

Didn't you send back 3000 tickets for the cup game?

UP Everton!
