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

[Nymzee]

What a shocking game.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Even Martinez had a better “transition year.” And we all know this is just an excuse struggling managers use.

Martinez's "transitional year" was Everton's best PL season.

 

[nsno-chris]

What a great way to start new year, yet another inept performance.

Quite clear that Kenny and Bambi are not premier league footballers.

And hats off to Marco for having our smallest player mark their biggest threat from set pieces. That obviously will not back fire

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Gana and the back four decent.

Further forward all turd.

I hope brands reconsiders the transfer window.

We Defo run out of ideas going forward.

I'd even forgo a striker just to have someone competent on the right.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Striker ASAP the club best be sorting it

 

[BlueToff]

BTW, we've also controlled that half without having to get out of first gear.

Not been good, but we're the better team so far.

I like the way we're trying to play, not quite coming off yet but nice efforts. Gueye is a fantastic player, Kenny doing well too.

 

[blueconverse]

At least kenny looks solid

 

[Milkman]

I'm quite enjoying this tbh. I'm too hungover for anything more exciting. Very grateful for these two absolutely crap teams today.

Gana the best player on the pitch by a mile.

 

[DanEFC92]

Not the best.

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Hopefully we announce a striker at halftime, then bring them on to make their debut in the second half

Naismith is in the crowd!

I don’t see a huge amount of difference between that and an Allardyce performance. This just replaces lumping it up with aimless 4 yard passes accross defence.

I was thinking earlier that BFS would have got more wins with this squad compared to the shizzle he had last season. Who knows.

 

[Lob]

That's not true

It is true, The stats came up on the screen as Everton with a 60% unsuccessful pass rate and Leicester was 55% which means 40% successful pass rate for Everton. Not hard maths that. 60 + 40 = 100.

Walcott is not interested in football is he. He’s just stealing a living safe in the knowledge that Silva hasn’t got the balls to play lookman instead. No wonder the lad wanted off.

Complete rubbish. The post,not Walcott. He has occupied the left side of Leicesters defence all through the half,brought Kenny into the game and done some defensive stuff as well.Currently I'd have Bernard on for Richarlison, who has run around with little effect. Idrissa Gueye has been magnificent.
