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

Why don’t they have Super Tim Cahill co commentating, instead of Carragher FFS.

Sky don’t want to accused of bias? It’s not like Carragher gets to co-commentate on RS games is it?

Hopefully it continues, Leicester have had all the ball, but its been pointless possession walking the ball forward waiting for movement. Hopefully they remain static.

Leicester are putting a lot of pressure on us with all those crosses, but so far we've defended excellently

 

[GwladysBlue]

Davies must be hating Gordon right now.

 

[ToffeeDevil]

Siggy playing like Schneiderlin, already got his backwards pass sorted before the ball arrives.

he gets a pass today, since he slotted a pen in

 

[maccavennie]

agreed but it looks like Leicester are starting to figure us out. Back 4 are solid but too many crosses are getting pumped in.

I think it's part of the tactic tbh mate looking at the shape. Looks like we ar e backing ourselves to defend them and hit them in the counter.

They had a decent spell 25-40 but I felt like we wrestled back control again towards the end and looked dangerous.

 

[Deco]

Finished the half very strong. Keep it up blues.

Love seeing us play so competently, so often the Everton of the last few seasons has played with such a lack of common sense.

Think we’ve got a couple more goals in us here, the front 4 look sharp. COYB!

That's it. Midfield is a patch work and the defence isn't the ideal line up (for Carlo). But it's well drilled, does the right things in the right areas.

Just think of a team doing the same but with players Carlo needs.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

To heck with Bainaar. We've got a Diordon

 

[mahermi1]

Great performance, absolutely made up with young Gordon, showing us what he is today a baller. Looks composed on the ball, great first touch and clever with it. Work rate from Richarlison is unreal, cant think of a bad performance so far.

 

[Neiler]

The difference a good manager makes, even with a wet weetabix midfield we can still get results.

Nice to see Gordon coming along. Cool head on the youngster.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Good:Gordon Keane Holgate Digne Coleman Richy Pickford

Meh: Siggy DCL wobi

Poor Gomes

 

[Furey1878]

Cm a bit ragged but the rest of them are doing well

To be expected given the difference in legs between our 2 CMs vs their 3. Richarlison is doing a good job dropping back in.

 

[Ring master]

Done well,took Leicester time to get in it bar i think that chance min after we took 1-0 lead,and Pickford saving Evans chance-just that from them i think,we defended well so far
