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

[ah11984]

That was worse than Tottenham. A truly awful performance. Worrying.

 

[Bob Latchford]

We’re doing big Sam proud with performances like that. Woeful

 

[KaiserEFC]

Rapidly becoming an embarrassment here.

 

[lungo]

he's been our best defender this season, pack it in

one mistake today and it's cost us

Evans - the best player on the pitch by miles - made an equally as poor mistake and we didn't take advantage of it.

They have Vardy. We have nobody.

One mistake? Gifting goals every 2 games. The guy is garbage!

I agree that he can't be blamed for Keane's mistake.

I am worried that he showed no plan of action in the second half. He just resorted to lumping all of our attacking players on the pitch and hoping for the best. Dreadful.

Agreed but I think his original plan broke down to absolute nothingness after that and he was throwing the kitchen sink at the game

 

[BlueToff]

I personally think we've messed around with Richys role in the squad too much. Before he got shifted up front out on the left he had an understanding, he was playing completely differently.

He's a mess right now just like all the others

We miss him up front.

We are a far, far, far better TEAM with him up front.

The nonsense came when people started saying he should be played on the left. He's not a winger. He's an inside forward. So he either should play in a proper front three or as a central striker - because we don't have a good enough alternative anyway.

....very poor and largely clueless. The manager has to be accountable for the run of results, it his job. The team looks flat, the tempo is ponderous and it’s Silva’s job to turn things around or the pressure will mount.

Zouma went to sleep for a freekick but played well up to that point and nearly bailed Keane out for the goal. Zouma my MoM.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Don't worry lads, Walcott will be starting again next game.

League One Dominic up top, and no movement anywhere on the field.

 

[BlueToff]

One mistake? Gifting goals every 2 games. The guy is garbage!

What was the other goal he gifted?

 

[hallamblue]

I wonder if Brands has a manager he would prefer?

 

[Distin's shoulder pads]

Got up off night's to watch that. Truly Terrible performance. Sigurdson, Keane, Walcott and the forwards awful. No urgency no guile no nothing...... Happy New Year! Thanks Everton!

 

[Bob Elstone]

Bet big Sam is laughing at this utter shambles.

 

[GrumpyBlue]

Piss poor as per.
Happy New Year

 

[Fansince1988]

What a surprise NOT, we are totally hopeless , sigs and Walcott don’t look like they care one bit and shouldn’t be playing. Also I keep saying it and told to be patient, but Silva is not up to the job, I’d actually prefer Sam atm, mark my words a manager change isn’t far off if we lose to many more.So my summery is drop Walcott and sigs, DCL is hopeless to, play either Tosun or Niasse from the start (there not very good but are strikers on paper) and get brands to sort out a decent one Vardy is a good shout. We are in an awful mess again I just hope this time we can come out of it smoothly, but it’s not looking good for Silva IMO, same old problem our manager can’t fix things when things are going wrong.

Whether he's better on the left or up front, I personally think on the left, the fact is we've messed around with his role too much and that's having an adverse affect on his performances.
