Everton V Leicester , fascinating.

Haha what? It's practically a full house every week...

Usually, the Saturday before Christmas experiences the lowest crowd (reference source: the Esk). I'm worried that the team (which is very sensitive) will pick up on 'something's different', and thus feel pressure . This would not augur favourably.

Have a look at. Delofeu's record this season for club and country - he captains the Spanish U-21 side. Check his total goals and assists. Him and Mahrez are very similar....direct, very tricky feet and put in sublime crosses with very little effort. Has all the makings of an absolute cracker.....0-0 to you.

I've watched your last couple of games and I thought we were quite similar in a few ways.

Definitely see Delofeu Mahrez comparison. I think what we lack compared to you was back four who can pass it around and keep possession, and someone in the 10 position like I saw Kone play for you. He seemed to put in a great shift and looked a threat linking up with Lukaku.

I think we edge it on the left wing having a decent winger there, wasn't that impressed with your fella in the games I saw (Albrighton has 6 assists), perhaps Kante as well in the DM department edges it there as well.

I think we'll miss Huth massively, the other two centre backs are so far untried. Without Drinkwater we also miss some creativity from the middle. With those two missing I'm not as confident as I would be, but we still have more than enough going forward to trouble you.

Looking forward to it.

I've really nothing against Leicester they're a fine club, well run and obviously a talented number of players and coaching team.

However as an Evertonian I can't hope that they win the PL or even qualify for the CL. The last thing we need is additional competition to the established big PL 6. Our hope is that the competition should come from us no-one else. That's not being disrespectful to what Leicester have achieved so far, far from it, but we have to be partisan in our support.

Absolutely this on toast. Well done to Leicester for giving it a good go, far beyond what anyone ever expected, but I want them to finish lower than us. Same as palace, WHU The media darling kopites and any other top 6 pretenders.

Haha too right. As long as they're below us, now that would shake the apple tree with the media, they would go into meltdown.

Anyway back to reality and all that...
