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

If we dont concede then the worst that happens is we get a point.

Thanks for that Michael Owen. Also if we score more goals than them we'll get 3 points! lol

An away win here would be massive.

The lads need to run Leicester ragged.

 

[perth_blue]

That is correct, and I'm glad at least one person is able to read here!

Is that what has ended up happening?

Just made the mistake of visiting the Red Echo website. They are awful journalists who write crap for a living. Even @ForeverBlue92 makes more sense

As I said before yesterday, I think that defeat is probably not a bad result for us. Getting knocked out in a semi-final is 'kin awful deflating.

Season is a dead rubber for them now.

 

[gedefc]

I remember us getting knocked out by Fiorentina and then playing Fulham away on the sunday, awful performance and we lost 1-0, keep it tight & get these on the break/ via a decent set piece, they should tire towards the end of it.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Only saw bits of the match last night but Leicester seemed to struggle with pace at the back, hopefully he plays Richy and Gordon wide. Abrahams gave them oodles of problems too.

Show the same passion & commitment we showed on Sunday & we win this. Great time to play a side with nothing to win & nothing to lose. Leicester have been on a downward spiral for a few weeks now.

Don’t know if @FOXINPEACE would agree, but I got this message after their game last night from my mate who is a huge Leicester fan, and yes he absolutely hates those klacker things!

“The last 6 games we have had over 65% possession and not won one of them. Complete lack of cutting edge! Everton just need to let us have the ball as we won’t score. Then hit us on the break, win a few corners and you will definitely score!”

Can only hope he’s right!

We need to go into this with the same attitude as against Chelsea/RS.

We can't be thinking they are going to be tired, demoralised etc. Need to be bang up for it.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Vardy and Maddison both played 90 minutes for them last night, which is nice. That said, Iheanacho loves a game against us.

 

[knowing your history]

First 20 minutes is key here. Leicester will surely come out flat so an early goal would be brilliant.

That said I think going out will mean they put out a stronger team than if they were in the final and so would want to rest key players. Likes of Lookman and Barnes were taken off at half time so they'll probably start and they caused issues at Goodison although Maddison is key in final third so hopefully he'll only be on the bench.

This 100%
If we do what we’ve done at home and against the RS the last few games, start bang up for it and attacking at pace every time we get the ball we could crush this Leicester team.
If we start to think, they’ll tire late on, won’t be at their best etc. we let complacency slip in.
Forget about them (though they should be disinterested and tired) it’s all up to us!

 

[RomanReigns]

i remember sigurdsson and rodriguez scoring wonder goals against them

 

[RomanReigns]

Leicester can’t defend corners so we could do with Mina playing in this one due to his height and physicality
