Foxes vs Toffees, Match Report and MotM poll...

[Khalekan]

As expected of our formation, we found it difficult to get further than the halfway line so ended up with a kind of hoofball that had everyone on here losing their heads. Leicester were dross through and it was enough to beat them. Wingers struggled to make things work and that style really wasn't suited to Rom. Davies and Barkley gave us much more penetration. Davies with hunger and movement and Ross with through balls made us look much more in control and dangerous.
Joel stood out for me. Not only for keeping a clean sheet or being decisive when balls came in, but for getting the assist on Kev's opener. Hoofing works sometimes it seems...

It was almost a carbon copy of Timmy's "assist" for Rom versus the Barcodes

I didn't see any of it but I'm over the moon right now.
Come on blues, we are miles better than that horrific run we had recently.

Another fine review @Andy C = thanks!

Williams MoM for me.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Cheers Andy,we need to learn to win scruffy and that we did today

 

[Mo' Better Blues]

Nobody stood out, Rom took his goal well, decent performance from Williams, Robles and Mirallas, went for Holgate, looked totally unfazed so why not...

 

[ianefc]

Voted for Barkley.

Really enjoyed his cameo.

Goes a long way to avenging our performance of last season at the 'king Power.

What a feeling to hear us go two up in the dying moment of a game rather than waiting to hear the equalizer. Well in lads

 

[Woolly Blue]

Just got home.

You're spot on @AndyC, the first half was dire from both teams and, until we scored, there was very little quality on show in the second. We settled down a bit and Rom's goal was perfectly timed cos a bit of carol singing is always fun.

Truth be told, no one was really exceptional today, but Joel had a good game and looked calm at all times so he gets my vote on the MOTM.

A special shout out to the lad who must have been about five or six rows behind me back in something like AF or AG who, single handedly a lot of the time, got the singing going and showed you don't need drums, clappers or a singing area to get things going, you just need a bit of enthusiasm ffs !

Someone should tell Leicester fans we've won 9 league titles, because they seem under the impression that we haven't

 

[jaycee]

Thought it was an awful game with very little skill,or football intelligence on display, as for MOTM Im actually going to nominate the referee,thought he had a superb game,got almost nothing wrong,tried to keep the game moving and showed that players are allowed to challenge for the ball without it being a foul

If they start singing that song next time we play 'em we should sing something like :-

We've won it nine times
We've won it nine times
[Poor language removed] off you upstarts
We've won it nine times.

*reports self for swearing

Oh, those masks were so small club too.

So very, very true.
Not too disimilar to the way 'they' donned Suarez tee-shirts either.

@Woolly Blue what was their song? I was relying on the OS commentary and didn't make it out.
