Everton v Leicester City. 22nd Feb at 14.05.

[banno]

Defence panics because Howard is a flapper. Robles Achilles was crosses initially but learned how to deal with them to an extent that the confidence came back to the defence.

I have long said that Spurs and the RS are the two teams we must avoid. But I cannot see any of the continental teams causing us much bother

Well we want to hope they go out this week,because we are bound to draw one of them.

 

[riddick]

Long ball wise - yes.

He can definitely kick it to one of the back 4.

80% of the time the ball goes back to Howard at the start fo the half(ESPECIALLY last season) it was a aimless hoof up the pitch which resulted in us losing possession. So again i ask, whats the fn point? I moaned about it last season as well.

 

[ianefc]

1 win in 10.

12 wins in last 40 competitive games

 

[matty1878]

six points above the relegation places with arsenal & stoke away in our next two matches worrying times

People keep thinking we won't go down. We have tough fixtures we can't win a game and the Europa to me is a hinderance I would rather stay in the pl.

 

[Joleonarteta]

Gibson looked great, very happy with his performance.

 

[Del]

Next game, Same again, Howard in goal, Slow crap football

Laughable that people are happy with this crap, Glad they were booed off, Again

Lids need to show there unhappiness by staying away from the game and not renewing there ST, Hit Kenwright in the wallet, Martinez will be out before you know it

 

[Toffeelover]

From 2-1 behind last minutes. Yeah.

Joke.

Napoli would own us.

 

[Fansince1988]

Gibson was a big plus in his one & only game of 2015...

Gibson is brilliant he never looks under pressure picks players out with ease,if he's fit he should be starting.

Yes mate. I am usually very positive regarding all things Everton, but I do have a dread that we draw RS or Spurs. Pocettino I feel, has the wood on Roberto

 

[RFUS]

STOP IT WITH THIS LOGIC AND GET YOUR PITCHFORK LAD ALRIGHT?

I'm just voicing my concern, cuz these things tend to get resolved very late if they appear early, as in Lukaku's case. Worried about our £30m investment, basically.

We'll see mate. If you'd have told people two games ago that Lukaku was a terrible finisher, you'd be laughed out of the room. Inconsistent hold up play? Sure. Poor first touch? Definitely. But it's amazing how knee-jerky Everton fans are.

 

[Blue Juice]

There was absolutely no reason to drop Robles in the first place. Yeah he's been turd in the past and yet when given a run of games showed nothing but improvement.

That bad bearded bell on the other hand has repeatedly shown some howlers, there was no reason to allow him his place back just because he was fit.

 

[kithnou]

Good game in the end...entertaining. The weather wasn't very good though. That's two 2-2 draws with Leicester this season...not too shabby

Ill say what we are all thinking. McGeady in today and we win comfortably. Clearly obvious he was the missing piece once again! @Prevenger17

 

[zandvoort blue]

He's a foot taller, bigger, more commanding. Saw him pull cross out of the air in the games he played in than Howard has all his career.

He flaps. Gets a dodgy slap on crosses straight to the opposition. Did it twice today. Did it against Chelsea.

He's done.

Spot on
