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

[marnie]

Be interested to see how this selection/formation goes.

Is Silva abandoning his press?

Is Silva trying to counter Leicester's counter with a counter?
If so who will hold their nerve?

Is Sig finally going to play box to box or will his futile 10 role still be in play?

Do Sig, Davies and Iwobi have any understanding of how they are meant to play the midfield three or will it just be carnage?

Who will be the leader of the three CBs or will just be a farce?

Can Richo and DCL be effective if a proper counter is played?

Will Kean come on and play the Mahrez role to Richarlison's Vardy role and win the game?

Silva will be abandoning his presser after the game.

Rodgers can see we are playing a 5-4-1, problem for me is that we have 2 central midfielders against their 3! Leicester will no doubt score and we will not. Only going one way, just damage limitation.....

 

[Dubai Blue]

Is there any chance that Silva could be given a helicopter ride after the game...........

What a c*nty thing to say

 

[Berenger]

Only worry for me is the lack of a defensive midfielder. Given personnel I think this could only have meant Schneiderlin in for Davies, so I can see why Silva hasn’t done it. But it gives them a lot of space where they want it, and opens up the option of long distance shots. That would be a typically Everton way to lose this game. Fingers crossed for Davies.

 

[when i score we riot]

Such a weird choice to give Siggy the armband when he hasn't been in form for 6 months, and stunk the place up so badly against Norwich. Clutch time, let's not embarrass ourselves.

 

[Dunc's elbow]

This has an air of inevitability about it, sadly. COYB!

It’s Marco Silva, he probably hasn’t put much thought process into these changes. He’s probably just set us up in that formation and given zero instructions to his players because it looks like he’s trying.

Too little too late for him to be trying out different styles and formations.

Up the effin toffees.

 

[PeregrineT]

So we have 2 actual attackers in the entire lineup. This should go well.

Parkin’ the bus.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Is this not part of the problem, chopping systems, no consistency. Players probably dont know what they are playing half the time!!!!

 

[Dougie]

I’d take 1-0 win and we got battered all game and scored with our only shot. I just want points right now and I don’t want to lose just so silva gets the boot always want to win.

 

[maccavennie]

COYB & UTFT and whatever else I can type in capital letters!!!

 

[AUXLEN]

For reasons I cannot explain I've bought the match on Now Tv i think i need a psych evaluation

The three at the back will probably get in each others’ way.
