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

Hopefully for once we can go on a run of good form

Olsen was going to start a game or so over xmas i thought, always believed that with so many games so quickly

I think Carlo has had enough of the Pickford mistakes; well done Carlo.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Shows what I know about Olsen.

Never thought he'd get a game unless Pickford was injured.

He might be. Thought he was going to come out against Chelsea, he was favoring his hip.

 

[KaiserEFC]

I wouldn’t have dropped Pickford unless he got a twinge after he pulled up kicking that ball

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

I think it's just he has a knock and in years past there was no one we could put in so he'd grind it out. He definitely tweaked something in the first half of the Chelsea game.

Finally we have a backup that we feel comfortable starting in these situations.

 

[Pat Butcher]

Stuck with same outfield team which is good, will be nice to see how Olsen does

Bollox lad..it's rotation policy anyway.

Yeah think that's what's happened.

Doesn't make sense to me otherwise.

Unless he didn't want to drop him on a low, and is doing so now to keep him on his toes but can't see it personally.

Of all the players you drop/rest, the 'keeper who has just kept his first clean sheet for god knows how long?

Suggests to me he's not 100%.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Surprised at the timing of Olsens start.
Thought Pickford had his best game for us in ages against Chelsea.

Actually the Madison mistake with the free kick, running out of his goal and they almost scored, every game its a minimum of two to three mistakes which could easily have led to goals.

OK.

Mount but yes, people are glossing over that being horrid goalkeeping because it happened to hit the post on this occasion.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Leicester back line looks inexperienced, hopefully opportunities there for us. Shame James isn’t fit.

Don’t get me wrong mate, I’m no big fan of his, and welcome the change. I just think there’s been times in previous games where he should have been dropped but hadn’t.

Saturday was a good game by his standards, he made some good saves, seemed to command his box a little better and we kept a clean sheet.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Not really mate, can be a strain or whatever.

Especially with 'keepers.

Risky but maybe.

Cant say I’m disappointed, he looked decent last game.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

I fancy Richarlison to finally get one here today. He's been due
