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

[Zezti]

Even with a two goal lead, the way we sit back and invite pressure on ourselves makes me nervy..

Leicester are all about the counter so I'm fairly ok with it

I'd kill to just be in the Champs league mate!

exactly!

Lovely cross field pass by Jags

 

[DRM]

Why did we stop playing football?

 

[Latchford 30goal legend]

surely if we take a cb off mate that leaves a big hole in the middle of the defence and they are more likely to score????

Look were Barry us playing ......he's playing next to jags

Not wanting to tempt fate, but if I was in the Gwladys, worth starting a "Champions League, you're having a laugh!". Athletico must be licking their lips!

they've treated this like a friendly. their only goal was get a bit of a workout and don't get injured today.

ATH-LC play the same way, so I guess it could go either way with both teams actively trying lose possession.

Davies is such an intelligent footballer. Absolute gem

 

[maccavennie]

unlucky

Gaz Baz reminds me if when somebody's pissed up aul fella would try and join in with the kids game in the park, and the dad would try a 'watch this, still got it' skill. Only to have the ball nicked off him by an 8 year old kid

Neither of them will want to kick off.

The ball will just stay in the centre circle for the full 90...

Now thats an interesting observation.

If we dont go all Martinez and see this out, we do the double over the PL Champions.

Have we ever done that before?

Possibly City? Cant recall it though.

Then destroy the kid who knicked it off him and have a snide dig in his ear until his Mam comes to pick him off the floor...

 

[Gladystweet]

Albrighton looks like that actor Christopher Eccleston ( or is it Eccles? the old doctor who )

couldnt tell you mate. He's not on at currant.

[Dunc's elbow]

we'd kill to be in the CL quarters...

True, I just can't stand their "we know what we are..." songs.
