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

so he dropped Coleman because of bad performance but never does that for Walcott. Oh well.

Maybe Walcott performing poorly is tied to Coleman behind him. The one game Lookman got to start he was struggling too on that side. Common denominator and all that

 

[RomanReigns]

No demari gray get in

Coleman now seeking advice from Jags and Baines on how to go quietly.

Baines and Jags have probably advised him not clear his locker just yet as it’s only Kenny.

so we havent won a home game on new years day since 1990?

 

[TheBigIguana]

Looking at their lineup I'm going to be disappointed if we concede

 

[blue to the bone]

Who else plays on the right if Walcott is dropped.
Lookman is 'injured'

People slate Walcott for 'bad performance' but even when not at his best he has the ability to get behind a defence with pace and cause the opposition problems. I'm sure that Silva thinks of him as an integral part of his tactical set up.

Can’t believe he’s dropped Bernard he’s one of our best players and it’s proves how bad our strikers really are when dcl keeps starting

Course we haven’t. Everton love ruining occasions.

 

[RichardP]

Absolutely. Funny thing is his last start was also Leicester and he was mostly ok but got destroyed on their goal and basically Marco didn't trust him afterward. But Coleman has been too bad in possession lately to keep playing.

Agreed. Coleman has been so bad that he just had to be dropped. JJK now gets a chance to claim the position with the option of buying a starting replacement in January.

Good management imho. Should have done the same with Walcott though. Maybe he would have done if Lookman had been available.

We need to get on the front foot and score early here - just like we did against Spurs. But then we need to get the second and the third.

 

[blue to the bone]

Lookin at their line up we should be winning this.

 

[Dunc's elbow]

We're weak offensively

Thought you looked bright with Maddison/ Vardy.

 

[Nymzee]

Brought my boy back. Good choice.

How many times does he actually do that though? Never seems to take his man on either.

Maddison dropped to the bench mate. Seems our gameplan today is to stay in the game for the first 60 minutes and then bring on some fresh attacking players. Very risky
