Match Thread Everton v Leicester

[Miles Away]

Benny has been mugged

 

[Graz]

Poor defending on the corner. Our players all seemed to stand still.

We've not looked great in this but can still get back into this.

**** - just remembered the potatoes - they've boiled dry - I'm in the shit - and I come back and Everton have got a third while I've been away. FML

 

[bocadillo]

Barley international my ass!!!!

Wine? Lemon and Water?

 

[sparky79]

Simpson for King and Mahrez for Gray IMO. Move Amartey in to centre mid....

 

[Miles Away]

King playing?

 

[camberwell fox]

King playing?

Allegedly.

 

[Brown Nose]

Awful first half from us.

The entire defence are AWOL. Drinkwater and Vardy playing as though instructed not to try too hard.

Albrighton and Slimani only ones to come away with any credit.

I'd take off Drinkwater and Vardy at half time. Put Wasyl on and Amartey into midfield. Then Musa up front. I'd also go three at the back with Albrighton and Chilwell as wing backs.

Damage limitation with a possibility of pulling a result out of the bag.

 

[bocadillo]

If we can get 40% of the goals from 25% of the possession, do we need to get more of the ball or less? Discuss.

 

[FIF]

Great spectacle.

Slimani playing great. Is vardy out there?

What a first run by Gray.

 

[bocadillo]

What a first run by Gray.

Do you think there will be a second?

 

[FIF]

Do you think there will be a second?

Perhaps you were scraping spuds off the pan when that happened.

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

My eyes can't keep up with yhis kinda speed!!

We're missing N'Didi a tonne and we need a new Cb this summer for sure. Benny needs to wake up. Also missing Simmo and Fuchs.

We're behind now, away from home. Forget damage limitation. We need to go for it and give everything we've got!!!

 

[FIF]

Everyone at fault for their first goal.

Huth more than Benny at fault for the lukaku goal.

Vardy and then Benny at fault for the third

Our second was a cross - but it sums up Albrighton.

Get a grip lads. You're 2nd to everything. Can't sit back like this, We need to calm it down and play our game, Everton are not that good we're just letting them boss us.

I don't understand no Ndidi on the bench. He must be carrying a knock. Hope he's OK for Weds.

 

[Micky]

For me the biggest problem is the full-backs. They are offering little protection and as a consequence we are looking quite vulnerable.

He is (tight groin) but should be fine for Wednesday.

Got to say Everton are great going forward. Not afraid of playing it into a crowded area, they hold it up very well, make great deliveries and off the ball runs. They do look suspect at the back though, we haven't really tested them enough. Got to be happy if we can pinch anything out of this given the changes. A bit disappointed with the midfield two. It has been too easy for Everton to get through King and Drinkwater and made it even tougher on our defence.

Wasyl and damage limitation don't belong in the same sentence

He limped off in midweek and his thigh was strapped up through the game so I'm assuming he's been playing with it for a while.
