Leicester City v Everton. 16th August at 15.00.

[Professor Toffee]

Surprised we got a draw to be honest

True actually, they wanted it and weren't good enough
We didn't seem fit or bothered
I wonder is there an atmosphere in the dressing room?

This is what happens when Martinez makes defensive subs.

[i'm blue da be dabu die]

We only used 2 subs when our players were knackered? I hate being a moaner but that was ridiculous

 

[Petit]

I´m actually shocked at how poor Jags and Distin look this match.

And Rom needs to step up training big time.

As for Stones, I hope he doesn´t believe his own hype.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Stones dead poor as was Lukaku. Terrible second half from us, purely because we sat back on that 2-1 lead probably because half the lads were trying to pretend they weren't knackered. Very negative second half indeed.

But their two goals were incredibly fortunate, exactly the same thing happened first game last season against Norwich though so history repeating itself. Ah well.

leicester are going to struggle to score this season if they're going rely on ricochets for their chances, same as norwich last season.

pretty gutting that, not sure about the coleman sub, thought it was wrong, but i don't think we went with 5 at the back like i thought it meant. barry has shown his age a bit since he came back, been nowhere near the player of last season, may take him a bit of time to get back to the required level, but he was never positionally sound today and we did have gaps in that hole.

leicester never deserved a point from that game though, i thought they'd be better than that.

 

[gazefc]

You could see Leicester getting an equaliser, the subs were on too late.

 

[Gerbs]

I don't care if it's the first game or last 3 points is 3 points. You just cant play like that against a newly promoted team on Saturday after I hear about top 4 ambitions all week prior.

 

[Heskeys Wife]

Ok, no need for the overreactions..

It was a good performance, we controlled the game up until their goal which came out of knowhere.

dissapointing draw, but we were unlucky not to get the win.

 

[Donald Twain]

This is all on Martinez in so many different ways. He's 'happy' with just ONE striker? He doesnt make ANY substitutions until the 75th minute? 3 at the back? Awful awful awful on his end today.

I couldn't work out his thinking in the 2nd half,

 

[daz4matty]

Hope martinez does not believe his own hype that was poor against a poor team.
Pre season was awful and 2nd half was awful.

 

[IRO1977]

Very worrying that we managed to concede 2 against a side with no attacking threat whatsoever

 

[KUEFC09U2]

Jesus what the hell have I walked into here?

 

[davek]

Second half very average.

Everyone could see that the changes needed making about the 70th minute.

 

[bluelife]

Badly Moyes that...let's just hope it can be made into a not too bad result by beating Arsenal
