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

[Darth Toffeeman]

To build up to a last minute thunderbolt and then, with all the momentum, throw it in the bin with poor, meak penalties.

Everton just keep bringing the suffering.

Year after year after year of failure.

Hope Leicester draw city and get an absolute footballing lesson

There is literally only Everton that this **** happens to.

Squad absolutely on its ****, young central defenders playing in midfield and 3 or 4 strikers on the bench cos there’s no one else.

Go 0-2 down by HT against one of the 2 form teams in the league.

Pull it back to 2-2 in the 92nd minute with a thunderbolt from your 97 year old left back who hasn’t started a game in 18 months...

Your keeper saves their first penalty... then arguably the best pure finisher misses his penalty, as does the left back who scored the equaliser (who also happens to be one of the best penalty takers in PL history).

Cheers.

It is proper Everton isn't it. Get your hopes up and then collapse at the final hurdle. We have to be the most painful club to support in world football.

Wouldn't want to support anyone else mind.

Moise Keen did well when he came on but that shambles Michael Keane is such a poor defender

 

[Papa Shango]

Not good enough. Played well for 20 minutes. Any other team goes on to win that on pens after the momentum turn.

Some will be happy with that tonight, the effort etc, it was absolute garbage. It's a home cup tie against a decent (better than us) but not brilliant side.

I'm sick of the lot of them.

I'm going to highlight once again at this juncture that Leicester sent back three thousand tickets for this fixture.

It's a shame, really is.

Tosun, maybe lacking confidence as he never starts, should not have gone up first. Mentally he was probably shot. You need your best goal scorer first.

 

[jamieni]

Tough one to take but good spirit. Baines was probably gassed taking that pen. Tosun; less said the better.

 

[varnish]

Re penalties, what’s the point in practicing them when Refs never give them?

 

[Tin-Tin]

Positive is the fight back from 2-0 down, no way were we doing that under Silva.

Negatives, lots of effort but not actually creating anything. Lack of quality and devoid of technical ability - esp pens.

 

[Parky]

Just watch Leicester draw villa

 

[COYBL25]

Good 2nd half city will win this trophy again though great effort....Tuson pack your bags soon..

I’d say Keane is a much bigger problem than our 3rd choice striker Joey.

We”ll always concede when he’s in the team and he badly affects the players around him.

Has to be one of the first players in the ejector seat when Ancelotti takes over.

Penalties just a lottery & we never happen to win
This time next year we be winning

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

It was between Baines, Holgate and Davies for MoM, but in the end I went for Mason Holgate again because of the way he planted his penalty.

 

[Fansince1988]

Leicester have had a hex over us this season, gits.

Un till last season Liverpool and spurs were the teams I disliked the most and probably still are, but Leicester and Wolves are joining them I can’t stand them to team now,
