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

[Milk]

Tosun was being showed stuff on an iPad just before the break, maybe we’ll see a sub without Leicester going one up?

Probably porn.

The fact that DCL is a forward at this club is embarrassing

Not just a forward, a forward who starts. He has scored 8 goals for us in 60 odd appearances, 2 against Rotherham, 2 against Sunderland, 1 against Ruzemberok. The lad is not good enough. Not interested in his age, Richarlison is young too and is night and day a better footballer. Get rid. Immediately.

Watching magnolia paint dry is more exciting. Just like a Martinez team this.

Two transfer windows per season, we have a DoF who only works in one.

Loads of top players available in January is there Dave?

 

[faddy the blue]

Because he's playing on the left. And they're just crowding him out.

Get him central.

He's not the central type either for me. All his goals early in the season came while operating on the left and drifting inside. His movement off the ball and ball retention has been poor. Same can be said about most of our team these past 3 years over all.

 

[Abraders]

Even Martinez had a better “transition year.” And we all know this is just an excuse struggling managers use.

I'd argue we are barely even playing a different brand of football. A few less hoofs sure, but we're just about as clueless as we usually are but more open at the back.

 

[blue to the bone]

BTW, we've also controlled that half without having to get out of first gear.

Not been good, but we're the better team so far.

Yup. But final ball has been shocking. But we are gettin into dangerous positions very easily

 

[Wat Tyler]

Martinez's "transitional year" was Everton's best PL season.

Like a moth to a flame...

Need some edge, but yeah. This is why we need to sign another goalscorer. Dominated the game

 

[BlueToff]

I like the way we're trying to play, not quite coming off yet but nice efforts. Gueye is a fantastic player, Kenny doing well too.

I think when we've clicked up a gear and got Gylfi involved in the final third, we've looked good.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Bore draw or Foxes smash and grab. Everyone sleepwalking. I can hear a pin drop in this match.

 

[peteblue]

The whole of our back line are playing well. Gana doing well, Siggy so so, the rest are still hungover.....

 

[jayden28]

Controlling the game but that lack push in the final third,walcott absolutely useless as is dcl and richarlison needs to stay on his feet more and stop complaining every 2 minutes.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

I’ve got no stats to back this up but feels like we don’t seem to do very well in televised matches

Makes sense that. All our games are on tele in aus so explains a lot. This is two very average teams playing very average football. Both will finish top 10. Make of that what you will.

zero shots on target, the return of BFS

Not really ... we have had players in their half !!
