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

[ToffeeTim]

Kind of.

Dont tihnk that challenge itself is a yellow but combine it wit the one on the touchline, it probably is a second yellow.

Yep. I don't think Leicester can have any complaints.

Richarlison knew Morgan had got away with one and was on a last warning so made sure the ref gave it the next time.

Street-Wise

Match of the day avoiding the words "Cruyff" and "Turn".

 

[Blackwell Livermore]

Agree with this. I’d say that Mina will take and keep a place soon though, and I suspect we will become more of a threat from corners as a result. I still think we will see a few performances like West Ham this year, but generally we are getting easier to watch and I reckon we are going to bum someone good and proper soon!

The shower hopefully

Imagine being Tom Davies, a 20 year old lad from Liverpool captaining your football team playing well and still getting crap. When I was 20 i was wanking into a sock and getting high with my mates. Only thing that concerned me was 'shall I wee in this glass by my bed or get up and go the toilet?'

What did you decide?

Haven’t got home yet, bit bevvied, voted for Gylfy, days like today remind you how good it is to be a blue

 

[StateSideToffee]

Made up today; more of the same please.
- Bernard & Digne on the Left looks deadly.
- Zouma looks great at the back. Need more threat from set pieces; Mina might be what the doctor ordered.
- A bit disappointed with Walcott; lack of finishing touch and the failed through ball was appalling.
- Be nice to get Seamus back.
- Gylfi on form. What a finish! You beaut!

 

[rossi toffee]

Think things are on the up. Unlucky not to have more points on the board. Siggy is looking like a real player and we have threat from the front 4 now. I really think we have a chance of top5/6 finish this season.

 

[TheBigIguana]

friggin' hell, that should have been a pen

100% a pen but the refs hate us

Are you guys talking about Gylfi at the near post from Richarlison's cross because I was thinking the same thing if you are

 

[MKS]

Those were 2 of the most enjoyable goals iv seen us score in a long time! A new signing on his first league start rinses 2 defender and a tasty chip for his Brazilian mate to bang home. And our maligned by some top $ transfer banging in from 25 yards into the side netting to win it. Hook that straight into my veins thanks

 

[BlueToff]

Fair point re Davies but what has Gylfi done today exactly to aid our play? Far too peripheral for a 10 for me.

lol timing

yup morgan has his hand on his back

 

[RomanReigns]

What today, Fulham and Arsenal to a degree showed me is that our best players make a pretty good team. Getting Holgate out of the team has been massive for the general play of the back line and playing Davies to allow Gueye to do his thing also helps. Add in Richarlison and today Bernard and you have the makings of a solid unit that can score some goals. The problem is going to be when we do have to turn to Kenny or Baines or Scheiderlin or God forbid Holgate or Jags again because that is a huge step down. The best thing for us would be no injuries and the ability to play this same team for the next few weeks to really get rolling. Maybe if Keane struggles Mina can step in or Gomes can get a chance to replace Davies but I really believe in this general team.

as soon as gomes is even 1% fit he's better than davies

 

[TheBigIguana]

yup morgan has his hand on his back

Yeah he's defended it by shoving Gylfi into the keeper. Maybe on another day.

 

[royvernon39]

EFC deserved the win but LCFC could also have scored two from almost uncontested headers in the six yard box.

That header the defender put wide - Scherderlein failing to contest as usual - in the last few minutes would have
been hard to stomach. I, for one, hope that Mina is going to bully everyone in sight just like he did for Colombia
against England and add some starch to our defence. Plus our goal drought at corners is going to end because Mina
attacks headers like Cahill.

 

[Stutheblue]

..there are 4 hours of your life that you will live without seeing it. I really recommend you see it. You’ll still feel the same in MoTD.

Watched it several times over now and will watch it again today. Love the turn. The strike was perfect. He's scored a few long range goals (Southampton and one in Europe spring to mind). But that clever turn and precise shot - excellent. I wasn't that excited when we signed him last summer. Just thought "yeah" decent player but not £45m worth. Last season......well, it wasn't just him who struggled overall. And Koeman playing him wide in the three wasn't helping. He's best through the middle.
Hope our options and pace in attack free him up for more goals. He doesn't rely on pace, but we have plenty of it around him now. Could be good for him. Lets hope so.
