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

[TGW89]

MOTM: Gordon (8 carrot top DVDs out of 10)
2nd Keane: Keane (7 invisible pitch invaders out of 10)
3rd The fans (for putting up with this)

Nobody else deserves to wear the shirt.

Really should be an Ancelotti option in the MOM poll

 

[marcus]

Good win, but our midfield is so slow Gomes still not match fit imo...

Keane was good & Gordon improving all the time & Davies played a nice little cameo last 20mins...

Ancelotti making changes when needed when we struggled after their fortunate goal....

 

[LinekersLegs]

The biggest difference for me is I don't feel like we are going to "Everton things up" with Ancelotti. I was remarkably calm at 2-1 and didn't expect us to concede another.

Steady on mate, Carlo is good but not a miracle worker

Wins a win

Did it? The score stayed the same

Don’t think we have any shot on target once Richy was off. But have to say your manager did the right decision at half time. We then just defend our lead.

 

[Papa Shango]

Yeah, it definitely is. The only major concern at the moment defensively is Pickford. We all know he has some howlers in him.

He can be a worry at times.

Made a cracking save in the first half though when he rushed out at Evans' feet.

One of your player kicked and injured our Richy then the game changed.

That is true, when Richarlison caught Ndidi - he went over and apologised, when Ndidi went through Richarlison's ankle late causing him to go off, he just walked away and shrugged at the ref.

 

[Lloydystark]

A good ref.

Not that sure about that, the Evans fall against DCL was soft

 

[HibbertsRightFoot]

Feel like we are very reminiscent to atletico madrid the way we have been playing. Defend well, quick on the counter and willing to ride our luck at times, we could be under the cosh for 20 mins like tonight and I feel confident we wont concede.

Did it? The score stayed the same

You controlled possession pretty much throughout but only really carried a threat from 45-70 minutes.

Mina coming on for us helped us a lot. Very pragmatic is our Carlo.

True, he did. I think he just loses composure after he makes a mistake, and that can rub off a bit on the defense at times.

Not exactly a vintage display but honestly who's arsed? Just keep defending well and the points will follow.
