Match Thread Everton v Leicester

[tedfoxxx]

Well we’ve looked bereft of ideas since the 5th minute and Ndidi off. Playing against one of the shittiest bunch of diving, time wasting ****s around. Best we can hope for now is that Manure don’t score more than once against Sheffield United and we can just move on.

Is Maddison playing tonight?

Only when we have free kicks and corners.

 

[homer]

Last half hour was complete and utter bollocks

****ing awful stuff

 

[glyn]

exactly what Everton did to us in the home game. Let us play for a while then stifled us completely

 

[glyn]

The obligatory “you can see why Jamie Vardy is so important to Leicester” comment at the end very annoying. Don’t think Vards would have changed the way that half went.

Get your Nacho get your Nacho get your Nacho out for the lads

Shame we didn't take advantage when we were on top for first 20 mins. By far the better team then, but then got a bit sloppy and it's been all Everton since they scored.

They're a very solid team, and without Ndidi we're weakened - weaker on set pieces too.

Goign to be very tough from here, and if they score again its game over.

And why is Youri virtually playing right back a lot of the match?

 

[Miles Away]

Don't like playing Everton.

Usually we play shit and lose. And they rarely do anything special to earn it.

 

[mabrah]

This is shit. I blame Everton

 

[Graz]

And why is Youri virtually playing right back a lot of the match?

Probably because Castagne is struggling against Digne so Youri is having to go help.

 

[fitz]

You know what to expect with Everton. Just go at them second half ffs. Ndidi is a worry.

 

[TommyK]

We're just playing in the wrong areas. Over playing at the back and not getting the ball forward quickly enough.

The few times Barnes has had the ball we've looked dangerous.

True but I think they're just solid and efficient at getting the job done. Not seen stats but doubt they drop many points from being ahead.

 

[tedfoxxx]

I’d kick my dog in the face for a point now.

 

[lesterboy]

If city are going to leave Castagne without Albrighton out wide then I'd rather see Under play infront of him...

Well nobody else is

 

[Graz]

I think your dog needs taking away from you...

This sounds like an odd game, what are the rules?

That was almost exactly the same as a few weeks ago. Everton sitting deep, with seven men defending, waiting for us to make a mistake, and then they break and score.

It's pretty poor from us that we've fallen for it again. We started brightly but didn't really threaten. Since then, Everton have been in complete control.

Castagne looks off his game. Maddison anonymous. But we have a problem playing two forward players (Albrighton and Perez) who are not very forward minded. Perez is not in the game and not doing anything to upset their defence and Albrighton is just not quick or direct enough for this sort of opponent.

The loss of Ndidi is massive. Looks like a proper injury too. It's almost inevitable now that they'll get a second from a set piece as without Ndidi and Vardy, and with their height, it's only a matter of time.

Our only chance is Barnes or Maddison doing something out of nowhere. Can't see it though. This game is gone already.
