Grammar [Poor language removed] lol

I'm NOT your grandmother!...and stop swearing

 

[FOXINPEACE]

Mate, you are a welcomed opposition poster. Don't get into silly slanging matches(oh the irony haha) and get banned.

Eh whats wrong with saying we can finish top 6?

If you mean my posts to the other guy, can you blame me? lol

 

[The Mighty Quint]

lol and you moan about Liverpool fans

You got very lucky today,

let it go mate...they won. In Jamie Vardy, they have a player who has Lineker-like pace quality, which rattles the cage of all opposition defence. You and @Blue Cheese just need to let this loss slide, and stop digging deeper holes for yourselves...

Vardy was quiet all game, as was mahrez, you see I remember how Leicester played today, 10 men behind the ball for most of it.

Why is this jacket the players wearing before kick off not in the store range?

....I don't think a team in Leicester's position at Xmas has failed to finish in the top 4. It's more certain it happens than it doesn't.

alright guys well im glad we scrapped through that as expected you had most of the possession in that game and i thought we were going to really struggle. i thought the first pen was a bit lucky but the second tim quite clearly took the trailing leg of vardy who in all fairness had a pretty poor game today and mahrez was not exactley firing on all cylinders.

i think the midfeild is where we won it , cleverley was very poor with his tackling and his distribution allowing us to get the ball and ease the pressure as your wing play was excellent but luckily for us kone was at another game i think. lukaku was decent today but he had a lot of chances.

i think in jan if you buy a solid ball winner in the middle with good distribution and fitness and a quality striker who can play off lukakus aerial ability then you will push for a euro spot .

im still just dreaming and pinching myself and like everyone waiting for the moment it all goes wrong but so far so good this time last year we were bottom with 10 points and virtually the same team .

good luck for the rest of the season lads and merry xmas

Yet again we shoot ourselves in the foot. Three points from last 12 doesn't look so clever now. After 3 games where we should've taken 7 or 9 points we get beat at home when we really should be winning that game today. Leicester are taking their chances and if someone is prepared to give you 2 penalties, then you punish it and put them away. And they did. Its clear we have some good attacking players and play some nice stuff.
But, and its a big but, we are brittle at the back. We prone to howlers (Mori today) and our Keeper doesn't command the box. Never comes for crosses or corner (like their keeper did today). Its got to be addressed otherwise this team may be stopped or slowed from progressing like it should.
Looks like it Cup football or bust for us this season.
Fair play to Leicester. Didn't think they played that well today but they got the win. A good habit to have. Wish we had that trait because we can't even win when we're playing well!
And finally, our home record is decidedly average. We ain't goinh to challenge for Europe if we can only win 3 home games up to Christmas!!

@FOXINPEACE ...well in, your team mate. You are doing what Everton last did over 30 years ago: come out of relative nowhere and grab the competition by the balls. My partisan nature precludes my lending over much disposition to teams outside my egocentric Evertonicity....but good luck going forward (apologies herein to @Blue Cheese and his/her 'preverbial' biases)

 

[JAYTALITY]

Remember when Leighton Baines used to take our free kicks...

That's cause Baines is a [Poor language removed] he won't stand up for himself. Anytime a player 'fancies' it he never put up a fight.

Positives from game:
We have nice Anoraks

 

[vagant59]

Well done Leicester. You came with a game plan and executed it perfectly, an excellent defense which limited us to very few chances while your attack was very clinical in getting the most out of your limited opportunities. Your managers team selection, tactics and substitutions were all spot on. Would it be possible for your manager to give ours some guidance in these matter's as ours doesn't seem to have a clue

...paranoia...is that you Ossie? You're starting to sound like him lol
