Match Thread Everton v Leicester (Sunday 9 April, 16.00)

[Eggs]

..much more like last seasons Leicester. Need to keep calm heads.

 

[Kantareller]

Anyone blaming Pennington for that needs to get a grip.

All Robles. The lad is pure gash.

Penningtons actions which led to the freekick he deffo deserves some blame for.

 

[RFUS]

Tbh, for a decent side we really do have an awful centre of defence

Again, our first choice pairing during our best run of form are both out. We've got a declining Jags and a hugely inexperienced Pennington. Not helped by Seamus' leg break either.

No coincidence to me that our defensive record has faltered in the past few games given all the injuries. We don't have the squad depth to cope.

 

[USABlue]

stek probably wouldn't be worse

 

[Jreverton1]

Lukaku's first touch is woeful

 

[hktoffee]

Need 4 senior CB next season. And you can tell the team miss Coleman.

yeah our lack of depth is being severely exposed

Wish Leicester would drop back to the pitiful leagues where they belong so I don't have to listen to their dreadful "chants" anymore. On par with Southampton that lot

 

[ijjysmith]

What can you say, should any of that back 5 be starting next season?

I'd have to say no.

Should decent players be bought in the young lads need a loan at a less high profile place.

But Jags and Robles probably know their future is away from here.

Baines is ok but needs a younger challenger now.

Needlessly gave away the freekick. I did not know what was he doing there.

 

[BigWolf]

Why is everyone bitching about Pennington being in the side? Who the hell else are we going to put there? We only have one senior CB available (Who himself is on the decline), and Pennington is the only backup with experience, and some legs at least

Yes he isn't Prem standard, but we have no other choice

 

[Huyton Layne]

'koff Rom

 

[RFUS]

Really not sure why Rom hit it that hard then. It's like he briefly thought he was on Jupiter.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Nice shot Rom.

 

[ijjysmith]

Reminds me of that horrible Martinez 2-2 with Leicester with Robles playing the role of Tim Howard.
