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

[ADT]

We lose all the time and haven´t won a cup for a quarter of a century.

not arsed we had no manager and no midfield against a great side can't expect much can you.

If you only show up for 20 minutes of a 90 minute game then that will happen

Those of us in Goodison need to take some of the blame as well. The place was dead until our first goal

On a big night like tonight you can't have everyone in the Gwladys street sitting down. Far too many kids and families in there tonight and it showed

I deserve just as much blame, as i sat down meekly with everyone else as I didn't want to be "that guy"

We deserved to lose and 2-2 flattered us

Absolutely gutted. I don't think I'll ever live to see Everton win another trophy

 

[harris78]

Lads done well to get back in it but I absolutely despise reading the match reports, brave Everton sh@t, how bloody condescending

 

[RFUS]

People insulting the team can kindly do one. Leicester are the form team in the league and have a fully fit squad. We were playing with 1 recognised centre mid, two pensioners at full back and a bench full of strikers who would struggle to score in the Championship. To come back from 2-0 down like we did was fantastic to see and wouldn't have happened under Silva.

It's gutting that we couldn't go a step further but I am not going to berate the players. I'm going to get behind them again on Saturday.

 

[bol-uk]

Hahahahahaha not a chance they will

Might be pipped by CIty but no one else will catch them mate, no chance.

 

[dannyboy]

Totally agree.

I am appauled that Kenwright still lauds it up as the club slides ever more into obscurity.

Since the formation of the premier league this club has been mismanaged dreadfully.
Joe Royle's mid 90s side the only respite from misery.

I´m done with the platitudes of saying well done for the second half comeback. They´d played abysmally to get into that position and the comeback counts for nothing if you can´t turn it into a place in the next round. We always fail in these type of moments, it happens far too many times to be by chance.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Oh boy.

Bankrupt.

Not really. I mean I'm not wealthy, but I'm in the black. Thanks for the concern.

 

[zukai12_]

Carlo has his work cut out

 

[Toast]

It is proper Everton isn't it. Get your hopes up and then collapse at the final hurdle. We have to be the most painful club to support in world football.

Wouldn't want to support anyone else mind.

Us Evertonians carry some bad Karma around with us.

 

[Wayno]

Us Evertonians carry some bad Karma around with us.

Hitler was deffo an Evertonian

 

[big nev lookalike]

Much better second half. Just knew we would miss at least 1 penalty. Annoyed we missed 2. Totally gutted...

 

[paulbefc]

That was a great effort from a severely weakened team. One of the lowest quality performances I've ever seen from an Everton side, but that's not surprising given the personnel on show. The endeavour was excellent though.

None of Davies, Iwobi, Coleman, Baines, Keane, Holgate, DCL will have anything to do with a decent team at any point in the rest of their careers. They're either finished or not good enough. I'm fairly sure neither Bernard nor Richarlison were 100% fit either.

Not far off being a reserve XI that. Leicester gave that everything and needed the lottery of a shootout win.

Good effort. Time for Carlo.

It's against the 2nd best team in the league (on form), who had an extra day to recover from their last match and aren't suffering half the 1st team out with injuries

The odds were stacked heavily against us, losing on pens after coming back from 2 - 0 down is a bloody lot better than what we endured under Silva with players showing no fight, small victories and all that

I don't care who its against or how many days they had extra to be honest, Totally get what you are saying butI am sick of hard luck stories.

For 70 minutes the performance was absolutely unacceptable. Rubbish passing, poor marking, zero threat etc. Why did we keep passing the ball two yards behind our players?

Fair play to Ferguson for switching it around a bit and getting a tune out of them in the end but at the end of the day we lost, again. We don't even get to lose dramatically, miss the first two pens all but killing it there and then, brilliant.

Well if you´re not arsed there´s not much to do is there.

As for me, I am arsed about winning.

Hmm weird one like

Think spurs will come on strong because they have started boss under jose

United have got players to beat most teams in the league and might spend big money in Jan

Chelsea have done good until recently but WILL spend massively in Jan

Think it depends on how other teams pick up rather than Leicester keeping it going
