Match Thread Everton v Leicester

[glyn]

Rarely seen such poor passing from two sides in a PL match.

Why the **** is Ricardo playing on the left?

You couldn't make this shit up could you? I mean, it's like he's just dropped their names from a height on to a picture of a pitch.

Why the **** is Ricardo playing on the left?

If I'm being generous, I would point out that that's the position he scored from against Everton in October.

If I'm being honest, I'd say it was because he doesn't trust Ghezzal without a proper defender behind him as he's going to constantly lose possession and fail to track his runners.

So Simpson in presumably so that Ricardo can push on who is then pushed out to the left to accommodate ghazal who is rubbish. crazy? ..

But then having Simpson in at right back doesn’t make sense to play three defensive central midfielders, because when you play three defensive central midfielders, you need the width and creativity to come from your full backs. Which clearly isn’t Simpson’s game. The whole thing doesn’t make sense.

It's not that good. I was thinking that I've seen better U10 games.

You're absolutely right.

He’s playing as an inside forward. Isn’t that where he’s supposed to play?

I think Claude’s a knob, but Ricardo playing inside left isn’t nearly the weirdest thing he’s done. He did, after all, sign ghezzal!

1% Pot A, 99% Pot B.

I mean, playing your best player from the last few games in a completely different position, is pretty bizarre. But yes maybe not to the level of signing Ghezzal.

He is clearly much, much better on the right hand side as a WB or winger. To play Simpson and then put Ricardo on the opposite side is utter incomprehensible madness.

 

[Miles Away]

Ghezzal must be having statistically one of the worst 20 minutes of football ever played. He hasn’t completed a pass yet.

Signing Ghezzal is a stroke of genius compared to the signing of Diabate.

 

[Miles Away]

They’ve hit the bar.

He hasn’t completed a pass yet.

He has. 5 out of 14 completed passes so far.

 

[LeeCovFox]

I had a ticket for this but decided first thing that I couldn’t be bothered travelling. I do not regret my decision.

There are a few in the Everton side that are competing for the same title though. They look completely shagged out.

Yes please.

This is toss.

****ing hell. That’s astonishing.
