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

[Cels]

Alex Iwobi had a terrible first half, but the whole team (apart from Davies) have been a little below par really. It's almost like there's a new manager coming in and they've taken their foot off the gas for big Dunc.

Excuse me? Take two off bring two on?

You ok?

Can't find your post but you mentioned swapping two players "and one other" or something I think. Just a rubbish joke to compliment this rubbish match

This system is all about them playing well and making up for the tragic centre mids we´ve got. They´ve been terrible. No excuses.

It just really isn't. Or if it is than Dunc is really horrendous at this management thing.

 

[Eggs]

....as I feared, attitude only gets you so far, it was a matter of holding out and hoping.

No signs of getting around the sides of them, no creativity. I think he needs to go 1 up top, we’re chasing shadows and offering no threat.

 

[Petit]

I know what the problem is. It´s too cold and a bit of a wind. You can´t expect them to put in a performance in these circumstances.

Bernard and Iwobi just don't suit a flat 4 midfield.

It was nice of us to turn up after the second went in though

 

[Kenshin]

Hopefully the best person for a roaring comeback is the manager who did it for us regularly.

Biggest game of the season and we’ve been shocking by all accounts. No surprise there. This team is in drastic need of an overhaul.

Missing 3 first teamers is not an excuse for this performance. Leicester are also without Soyuncu and Tielemans.

Central midfield is dire, mate. As bad as you´ll see from a Premier League football team.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I'll never be ok with us getting done at home by Leicester.

We haven't been near an acceptable level tonight.

Coleman looks like a kid lost in a shopping centre. Doesn’t even look like he knows what day of the week it is.

Tuesday isn't it? The idiot

 

[Ibby]

Very poor first half.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Coleman looks like a kid lost in a shopping centre. Doesn’t even look like he knows what day of the week it is.

Sidibe might be a liability defensively but his ability understand movement and space is sorely missed right now

 

[ADT]

Zlatan and Carlo coming to this team you know

 

[BigBlueConk]

A team, B team C team?

The true quality of the Everton players has come to bare for Carlo to see.
This is where we are at.

Our defence even with Digne is nowhere near good enough.
We have a poor midfield even when all fit.
Our forward line is never going to score enough goals to challenge for top 6.

Scoring the next goal early is massive.
We can do this but we need to keep going and they might lose confidence.

We are one of the worst passing teams in the prem an have been for quite a while. It wouldnt be so bad if it was just a few players but it seems that the whole team tends to collectively suck at the same time which is never a great thing. If Ancelotti comes in he’s gonna be pulling his hair out with this lot
