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

[Professor Toffee]

Ancelotti has given us balls

 

[Verbal Kint]

We finally have a manager.

Getting 3 points outta that midfield is bonkers. Out played but 3 points is all that matters.

 

[Izzy1878]

3 points. Competent tactician. Can't complain.

 

[Connor]

MOTM - Michael Keane’s family

what a player he’s become since lockdown

 

[TheBigIguana]

That's about as well as you can do given the state of our midfield. Gomes inconsistency is a major problem.

 

[mos6141]

The players showed fight, loved it

 

[ProZ]

Can we get a photoshop of Carlo rinsing a flannel plz

 

[Bullens Rd]

I think that's an absolutely wonderful result and performance, MOM either Keane or the manager. Hopefully long gone are the days when players go hiding on the pitch, surely won't happen on Carlo's watch. Disappointed obviously by the performance of Pickford but can't fault anybody else. However if Richarlison is injured we can forget any European ambitions. We have nothing else up front -- Lewin only works alongside Richarlison...

 

[Eggs]

....Ancelotti should be on the list today, that was magnificent in-play management.

On the pitch, mostly top marks all around but it has to be Keane. I’m his biggest critic but he looked supreme (other than when Vardy squared him up).

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Ancelotti changes got us comfortable again after a lot of pressure, can't wait till he starts bringing his own players in, Michael Keane MOTM great game again and saved Pickford from another calamity

 

[Bebeto]

Lets not forget either that we have just beat a team who are 3rd in the table, who put loads of pressure on us and we did well

And with possibly the worst bench in the Premier league...he is doing great with the tools he has...and the state of our squad though is very very concerning.

 

[Gibbo1976]

Great tactical switch in the second half, finally we have great manager who doesn't panic and changes things before it's too late....looking forward to next season COYB

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Well that is certainly the type of match we would have lost under Silva. Amazed that we were able to shut up shop with 5 at the back and see the game out. Fantastic 3 points. Maybe Carlo can get a tune out of this lot...

100%. Ancelloti made the right subs at the right times too, bringing on Mina and Davies helped nullify them. We have much more to offer in an attacking sense, plenty to build on. Desperately need someone in midfield who can cover ground quickly though, Gomes turns like a submarine

 

[kenada_blue]

Got away with that. But anything that gets us to the end of the season in the top half will do.

If Carlo wasnt fully aware of just how limited we are, it will be very clear to him now.

Just badly need some midfield reinforcements. We look desperate.

Iwobi and Pickford shocking.

Got away with it? They were lucky to have scored.

 

[Terrarian]

Not a great 2nd half but we hung on. Pickford did his best to try and gift them a goal as usual, thought Gordon did well and Keane MoM
