Leicester v Everton Thread

[Azzurri]

Without meaning to cause offence to you Leicester fans, what about your front 4 is so dangerous to all Premier League teams? Migrant and Albrighton have already proven they can't do it at this level.

vardy is like nothing your defenders have seen before - I've never seen a striker as fit as he is. Mahrez is a very tricky player - as is Knockaert. Nugent also deserves another crack. Agree RE Albrighton.

Conference level?


I joke I joke, but it don't think he'd give Distin or Jagielka much trouble as they're both fit and quick. If Alcaraz plays, on the other hand...

Nugent's 9 goals in 64 Premier League games don't really worry me, but I do agree on the other two. I rate Knockaert but he might drop off a bit this season IMO. A bit of Taraabt about him.

I just hope our defenders can use the experience of playing against the likes of RVP, Saurez for years to try and contain this Vardy lad to 3 goals.

gonna be a close game with the it being a promoted side at home the fans could be the 12 man on the pitch, although what Leicester fans don't realise is the gulf in quality between the top 7 teams and the rest of the league, the amount of points earned at the top end last season was immense and whilst you lads have done well in the championship don't underestimate the big step up especially against those said top 7 sides.

I think it will be a usual everton performance against a "lesser" side, we'll dominate possession but wont take our chances, if Lukaku, Coleman and Mirallas play some part and possibly atsu If the deals done in time Im gonna say 2-1 everton if none of them get a chance on the pitch im gonna say a frustrating 2-2

No offence to Leicester but I think we'll win untroubled.

Doubtless Man City websites were full of similar statements before their opening game at Cardiff last season...

Maybe I'm being slightly deluded, however personally I'd suggest Suarez is the fitest player our defence has ever experience. Boundless talent; never saw him injured at his time at the [Poor language removed]; continually full of energy. Thank God he's departed as he terrorised us!

Back to the point at hand...I'm not criticising Vardy, but I believe our defenders have faced much more difficult and diverse players. Furthermore, many countless players have themselves thriving in the lower leagues (even the Championship) but found the PL a league too far. Not saying Vardy won't make it, yet we shall see come May.

if both teams play well Everton should win as we have the better side..not even the most blinkered Leicester fan can argue that one....but Everton playing well hasn't happened since May...so you have a chance

You mean since the league finished?

As far as I'm concerned Leicester fans are alright as they're not kopites, geordies, or sky club glory hunting bellends.

We're not all bad but there are some right annoying [Poor language removed] that do go down. Booing after 5 minutes. I suppose I'd struggle to find a club where fans don't get on players backs, but massively annoying nonetheless.

As for a City in itself, we are teeming with Kopites, Manure and Chelsea 'fans'. My work is crawling with reds and surprisingly, Leeds fans. The 'Liverpool'l fans came out the woodwork last year when it looked like they may do it. We have one person at work called Declan who is from Liverpool. It was funny to watch them all squirm a couple of years ago when he told them he is an Evertonian.

Talking of Evertonians. I don't expect Nugent to celebrate wildly on Saturday 'should' he knock one in against his boyhood club.

For the record, I'm going for a 2-2 draw.

since this one started...yeah, I know, only friendlies..but we looked at home at Tranmere a week ago.....

 

[ToffeeDan]

We always seem to get the new boys early doors don't we?

Cardiff, QPR, Watford, Burnley, Forest (way back) to name but a few.
