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

[Toffee-nerd]

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

No idea how you can slate kenny here. Hes been solid defensively and offered more than anyone else going forward. Very harsh.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Still cant believe leicester sacked the manager ( Ranieri) who won them a premier league title. He should have got a contract for life at leicester just for doing that.

 

[BlueToff]

Dreadful stuff. Unlike some on here I think there are no positives to be taken out of this performance. In a long list of abysmal performances this certainly ranks as one of Walcott’s worst. DCL is not up to it at this level.

It hasn't been dreadful and it hasn't been abysmal. We've been the better side, have shown some glimpses of promise when we've got Gylfi involved in the final third. Need to test Schmeichel obviously.

Enough hyperbole.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Slow build up, we get to a situation where a player is one on one with a full back and we turn around and pass backwards. Just happy to keep the ball when we should be countering when Leicester is not organised but we are slowing the play down allowing them to get their defensive shape back.

NO SHOTS ON TARGET, even Leicester have 2!

Albrighton to score in a 0-1 Leicester win

Nailed on

And Alex Scott ....

 

[peteblue]

Where they in your pub till the early hours Pete?

I’m pretty sure Theo and Gomez were there.....

 

[DanB90]

Could do with Bernard coming on second half. Need someone capable of a killer pass or close control around the area.

 

[Frang]

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

silva is a mile off what Martinez had us playing. even at his worst

 

[navidson]

It's utterly bewildering to think that we've spent over £300m in the last 3 years and we've got DCL as our main striker

Get new year around yours was a delight

Walcott anonymous. Again.
Gomes looks like he needs to sober up.
Calvert-Lewin couldn't anticipate a shag in a brothel.

Proactive changes needed from the manager here. It isn't working.

Everton really wants to buy Gomes. My God how silly can you be?. Buy the Ricardo guy playing for Leicester. He is alo Portuguese I think . 100 times the player Gomes is.

 

[riddick]

If Lookman is off since he's not been involved in anything these fixtures why the hell isn't he gone today?

 

[nsno-chris]

Weird picking on Kenny. Been alright.

Count how many times he actually passes to a blue shirt when under the slightest bit of pressure. Defensively he’s been ok but probably more to do with not really being treated

 

[Blue Roo]

Only 1min added time TF for that.

How is that possible?

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Two years before Moyes left we were five times better than this side despite having zero money. To be this bad a decade later owned by a billionaire is a disgrace.
