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

[Parker]

Referees need hanging mate.

Every game they're absolutely useless.

How did Kasper Schmeichel go a full 90 mins without being booked?

The joker just kept doing the hurry up sign every time.

 

[Clarky cat]

Mykolenko is part of the problem mate. He can't go past the half way line unless he's taking a free kick.

Watch the game again mate. Gray was a disgrace tonight

 

[everton fan number one]

The overlap was also covered. Gray did the right thing taking his guy on inside imo, didn't come off.

Point was simply Mykolenko gets foward tbf. Gray probably should have passed to him at least once though.

 

[BigBlueConk]

...however we're currently 17th, staring relegation in the face, due to atrocious results in over a dozen games this season where we displayed an appalling lack of effort.

One swallow does not a summer make.

Too many false dawns already mugged the fans off this season.

Chelsea draw, Arsenal, more recently Newcastle and even the loss to MC.
Always failing to turn the corner.

 

[banno]

Rondon for me.

 

[varnish]

4 out of 6 from Man U and Leics. Would have taken that circa 10pm on April 6

Now to support the Saints for a day....

I think this needs restating. We’re utter toilet at the mo but to sneak these 4 points is priceless.

 

[cooperman]

Positives from tonight are the effort from the players is clearly better

Defending seemed less scatter brained

Creativity going forward is still a concern though

 

[Naylor56]

Rondon done more in 30 minutes then DCL since he has been back

I thought the whole team was awful. How they've had so long to prepare for that game and serve that performance up is pathetic.

 

[Grogu the blue]

So many posts saying what an awful performance, what did you expect from this lot? 4 points from 6 against United and Leicester with this bunch is a good return.
Anyone saying start Rondon need to take their head for a wobble, it’s happened before and he’s been tripe when starting.
Five in defence and five in midfield Sunday, go all Simeone on the RS Sunday otherwise it’ll be a rugby score.
As for DCL, any club that wants him send your offers in because when he is needed he doesn’t show up, literally

I’d have taken that big time if offered last week! The 4 points that is

 

[Parker]

Alex Iwobi is genuinely gonna be the Kevin Campbell of my generation.

I love him unconditionally.

 

[blueblood]

Psychologically that’s a big point. If you’re Burnley now you look at the table and you need 2 results to get out of the bottom 3 which is a much bigger ask than being able to think ‘win tonight and we move up.’

 

[larbert toffee]

Iwobi got the nod for me, he's been like a new signing since Frank took over.

I've always been a big supporter of Seamus but apart from his great tackle in the first minute he was a liability.
The reason he was going backwards so much is he doesn't have the speed to get by players anymore which has always been his strength.

 

[Zatara]

Zat, we limped through a game that we needed, really, to win. The performance was atrocious for a team in the midst of a relegation battle

I agree. But 3 of our defenders played well. Thats a positive.

Mykolenko is part of the problem mate. He can't go past the half way line unless he's taking a free kick.

See the below post...im guessing you didnt watch the match?

FYI he was running the full length of the pitch numerous times and either ignored by Gray...or won a corner himself and a 2nd combining with Richarlison.

Probably about 4 times Gray didn't pass to him on the overlap tonight

Spot on. Hes quick and has alot of energy up and down the left.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Hopefully Southampton can be useful for once. Potentially a big equaliser that.
