Match Thread Leicester City v Everton (Wednesday 16 December 18:00)

[Glasshalffull]

Sick of reading negativity.

That's quite a negative attitude, if you don't mind me saying.

 

[deipnosophist]

But it doesn’t help. It’s a test of character to go through [Poor language removed] and still keep ploughing forward with hope and faith. You go into things in life negative it comes right back at you. I’m on the same journey also. Evertonian of 32 years and trust me I do get down and negative. But no matter how much Everton Everton things if there is a glimmer of hope I’ll just get behind and think positive. We beat chelsea there and are 5 points off 1st place at the Christmas period. Has that ever happened in the prem before? Gotta hope we can take advantage and will it on. No matter how many times we have messed it up. Or else you are just increasing the odds of failure with that mindset.

Well said...we have concurring sentiment around this. As I said, small adjustments have been made which sponsor my renewed optimism. Yes, I have been slighted with calls of 'soy-boy' and 'man-boob promoter', but the vegan option on the FF cafeteria menu has lent me hope for the team. In my opinion, a team that takes the pitch with bellies sloshing about, full of bacon, sausages, hash browns and runny eggs, just isn't going to perform as well as a team ingesting a, shall we say, more svelte diet.

Brilliant...6-0...

Ah that's really cool. Yeah the owners have spent a fortune developing the training ground and academy. Good luck to her

Sorry that you live in Derby though lol

It's an awful city. Moved here in 2008 for work an never left. Only plus is that driving 10 mins out of Derby puts you in lovely parts of the countryside. Great for walks and a godsend in lockdown.

Got injuries at Centre half this lot,Dom should be looking to get stuck in here tonight.

 

[maccavennie]

Oh didn't know Evans was out, That's kinda big and I've heard mixed reviews on Fofana so far, Richarlison and DCL should be licking their lips here.

Fofana has looked absolutely dreadful the couple of times I've seen him so far. No doubt he'll have the greatest performance ever tonight but if I'm up top for Everton I'd be targeting him from the off and look to get behind him.

Tough game tonight, 2-0 to the Everton though.

I meant sick as in the American terminology

You've seen his two bad games then as he's been superb since coming in.

3 bad games I've seen. But like I mentioned, he'll probably look like prime Baresi this evening. You've seen him more than me so I'll trust your opinion

 

[Prevenger17]

I post less now as I know it winds some people up but still pop in occasionally to offer my wonderful insight.

Don't pay heed mate, post loads. And you're actually well liked comparatively, miles above the widely hated @H.H. but admittedly probably a little short of @Alan Whittle

Will be tough for him tonight without Evans alongside him

I'll take it I suppose lol

Honestly mate, don't take it to heart. As @Yid4life can attest, the amount of heat you get is directly correlative to the relative fortunes of each team and nothing to do with you. If Everton are doing crap and Leicester are doing good, it can be quite hard to take in the heat of the moment when you're talking about the positives of your team. That's absolutely beyond your control and not personal at the end of the day. Post loads, and if lads are getting to you just use that ignore function or come to me. I have absolutely no clout here and will do absolutely nothing to help you, I just love posters beefing and don't want to miss out

FWIW, I defo think you have more than an edge in this game. I don't like our GK and back 4 against Vardy and you could well win by a few goals. But as you say, very mercurial teams. Any team could win by any score

On the other hand, few pints after that breakfast slides much better.
