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

[SLAVEN BILIC]

It wasn’t pretty but it could be the point that keeps us up. Richy scored a fluke but missed to glorious chances, sums up our season.

Mina and Coleman doing they’re best to make it 2-0 with some awful ball control and attempts to shield the ball.

Iwobi MOTM for me, everyone else blew hot and cold throughout.

Was that Gordon’s worst game for us? Seemed like he forget how to kick a ball in some decent potions.

What a gut punch for Burnley.

They are sitting there cheering what looks like an inevitable defeat for us one moment….the next the gap is widened to five points.

Cursing their luck….it would have been a two point gap but for them missing a penno v Hammers and us snatching a latw point v Foxes

4pts

 

[TheBigIguana]

Leicester definitely won't fear coming up against us again in a few weeks

We play them 3 days after the second leg in Rome. There is no chance it'll be their best side or that win or lose they'll be up for it completely. We should really have a go in that one.

Only 4pts mate...not 5 until we draw with the RS

That was far far far too close for comfort, and even Richie's shot was garbage. But thankfully we snatched a point from defeat so be thankful for small mercies.

MoM? I was going for Alex Iwobi for his effort throughout, but in the end went for Rondon. I thought his contribution tipped the balance.

The most frustrating aspect for me was all the time we spent cat* footing around the edge of our own box instead of being forceful around the edge of the opposition box. We invite disaster all the time and were lucky not to be punished for it on more than one occasion.

*apparently the affectionate name for a cat isn't accepted on here

I'm not religious, but I'd bring a large sign that says "Job 19:20" to our last match if we stay up.

Happy to help my son.

God bless.

 

[peteblue]

Nor us them

And I’ve got tickets…..

Fair enough but Mykolenko was nowhere near part of the problem this evening. No legs in central midfield except Iwobi was the issue for me. Mykolenko wasn’t helped at all by Gray who hasn’t warranted playing time for months now

The midfield was a disaster and I agree that set the tone for the game.

 

[summerisle]

My stream went off seconds before we scored. Any clips of the goal?

 

[Parker]

Hope every single coach carrying a Leicester fan back to their hole breaks down on the motorway.

Horrible tory weasels. Yous ain't from London lads, stop thinking you are.

 

[bluejohn66]

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

But DCL's got prettier handbags

 

[Steve EFC]

It may not seem like it now but that was a massive point!!

 

[larbert toffee]

Nor us them

You tell him Tommye, I'll hold yer jacket.

 

[Bluerover]

I’m having to use just for men hair dye in last 8 weeks mate. Sprouting more grey after every game

Mine has gone from some grey to pure white
