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

He's played as an emergency CB for us a couple of times under Martinez - possibly Krasnodar at home??

Did he? Remember him filling in at LB.

How gutted is Azul that an American had to point out the tactics to him though.

Oh and I missed both Krasnodar games cause of work.

Mate a seven year old apache girl who's never watched a game of football (soccer) has a greater appreciation of tactics than me.

* the girl in question is hypothetical, please don't slay her like her ancestors

Lucky you.

 

[ilikecheese]

Lucky you.

Yeah...also missed both legs of Wolfsburg. Saw them on replay at least. Just not the same as watching live.

History is your favourite form of argument on here isn't it.

The funny part is the arrow for your club is pointing straight down while ours is pointing up. It'll be maybe 5 years before you lot are fondly remembering your title and CL run while some Big Sam type manager is playing carthorse hoofball and you're holding on to 14th

huth looks like some fat fella from the pub that they just picked randomly to play

Yeah, one of the best moments from the match was when Mirallas faced up to neander-grok Huth.

Wait til we buy him.

Pennington grew into the game after his shaky start and was sound. Cleared his lines well, didn't get flustered by Vardy's pressing (again, after the start) and he eventually moved on to Jags.

Mirallas was fantastic, haven't said that in a while.

Lookman ffs Ronald.

Do feel for him. Wonder if he actually gave him his start too early (but his goal and THAT game will live long in the memory). And to deep freeze him like this when these other whipper snappers are getting their game must smart.

Thought Davies looked leggy the last 10-15 myself, but apparently he'd covered more ground than anyone else.
Think Gana would enjoy a 3 hour match myself.

Agreed. He was. Was chasing shadows. Still a young god even in those manky new green boots.

Martinez first derby when Baines went off with an injury at half time he did surprisingly well.

As for the second statement, lol​

Barkley's cross was Deulofeuesk, early with lots of whip. Thing of pin-point beauty. Sign please.

Was worried about Pennington after giving away that free kick. But then he pretty much disappeared, apart from the odd good headed clearance.

Noticed Barry clearing a few in the middle, but just thought he was deep in between the CB.

Mirallas has looked good, but I keep worrying he'll get a red. Dude seems angry.

Was surprised we only made one sub.

Holgate needs to learn to cross. Was in good position several times and just ended up passing. He does a lot of other things well, but seems to lack that last bit of attacking skill.

Great result today, 1st match I've been to since Moyes Utd got tonked (thanks work) thought we played well for most of the game. Two bad goals to concede. Still thought we will win though and did.
Davies and Jags stood out for me today.

Lukaku got his customary goal against the SMALL teams of the league.

you can now see how huge MS is for us and how the game went scrappy after he was taken off, the lads just runs games and bosses the midfield with Gana and Davies

Lukaku has more goals (3) against the top 6 than any of the leading goalscorers in the league this season
