Everton v Leicester City. 19th Dec at 1500.

[FOXINPEACE]

sorry if you took it the wrong way , we obviously don't get to see your games for 90 mins. The fact that you are not great at set pieces is a bonus for us because believe me evertonians have spoken about nothing else this season, regards our ability to defend our penalty area.

Oh no not at all mate

Its funny to be arguing who's worse at set pieces lol

 

[Kankurette]

I voted 'Vardy is a weasel' but only because there's no 'OH NO NOT THEM' option.

I don't know if it's just what the top teams automatically think about the lesser teams but I can honestly say we're probably the weakest set piece team in the league in both boxes. Our threat is simply pace on the counter attack with a high pressing game

We're also weak on set pieces, because Martinez doesn't see the point spending time on them. I understand where he's coming from, a team concedes like 3 corners a game on average, but if you have no clue what to do against them, you're gonna have a bad time. As we've been proving.

 

[Pacman]

Got a feeling it'll be 2-0, both sides having plenty of chances but Lukaku and Kone to net both on the counter and Howard to have a shock clean sheet.

Think we are certain to conceed,they have scored in every game,and have scored at least 2 in every away game bar the 1st game of the season

The last time Everton beat Leicester at home [2003]-only played them once since [last season]

the goals of that game,some good ones as well

Dont remind me of that game still having nightmare of Tim!
Got my extra BP pills on stand by every time Leicester get a corner!lol

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I don't know if I can take another draw where we absolutely batter them and concede crap goals from corners.

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Obviously not mahrez and vardy, but schlupp, huth and drinkwater being out might disrupt them and make them less solid. Here's hoping anyway, right now I'd take a really well ground out 1-0.

 

[Jamiednm]

I'd be happy with a 5-0 win today. I think if we can put a few goals past them without conceding then we're in with a good chance of taking all 3 points out of the game.

Flagging this as an obvious @Del multi

Time to put Leicester in their place and trigger their free-fall to a final league finish of 14th

Leicester fan in peace...Funny post and you've got it in one... no one knows we're here.We are an over grown market town and love any kind of recognition. We are so desperate to have any claim to fame our council leaders will dig up a body from a car park and parade it around town for 5 days, we will pretend kasabian are good and not a spinal tap version of primal scream and oasis.. when we go on holiday we have to explain we are from the middle of england.. 100 miles north of London, no not near Manchester, about 100 miles south of Manchester, no not near Birmingham.... ok we are next to Nottingham, oh yeah of course you have heard of Nottingham.. yes robin hood and brian clough but that was a long time ago..
Yes we have our share of piss stained imbeciles as fans, who often lack wit or a world view.. they sang god save the queen at Swansea and they will probably do the calm down scouser impression when on Merseyside.. I blame the Coalville and the Shepshed mob, Bernie is our famous fan, he might also be from Coalville.. or Sileby. Our accent is either non definable.. like the Junk food salesman Gary Lineker... or so heavily lacking in pronunciation, it is not so much an accent, more like a speech impediment. We are desperate to be loved and notorious but are really non descript and apathetic.
But we are top of the league and basking in our moment of glory, scanning the internet looking for write ups from all around the world, we have always been too good for the 2nd division, not good enough for the 1st division. Never a dull moment as a Leicester fan, either relegation battles or promotion bids, play off heartache, or champions or relegation escapes. Rarely a season of mid table obscurity..
Our City is a small City, the people are not over friendly but everyone is alright, we don't have postcode gangs..No recruitment for the edl around here, they got chased out of town (twice) like the NF back in the 70's.. you can walk where you want, we have over 60 veggie restaurants, the best curry in the U.K... a mish mash City with people from all over the world, and we're alright. Nottingham may have the Sleaford Mods but we are top of the league. We never got stuffed last season, always a decent team, we'll take a draw. would love a win. We always sing.. win or lose. Everton.. we have a soft spot for you.. we always identify with the underdog. Lets hope it's a cracking game.

Honestly that's a miles better preview than mine, well done sir.

At least someone gets it.
