Leicester 2 - 2 Everton Post Match

[Samilktray]

Sean Dyche not bringing on Demerai Gray for the inevitable winner is a sackable offence from an Everton point of view 

[Marmite]

The fitness levels were embarrassing towards the end. The Everton players just seemed to have that final push in them

 

Youri was a waste of time, second to every ball and didn’t seem up for it.

Out thought, out faught and tactically shocking. That was a prime example of why Smith can not be given the job in the summer. Awful. 

 

No press. They had all the time in the world to pick out whatever pass they wanted why our plan seemed to be whack to vardy and hope for the best. The fact it was applauded at the end is baffling. We got away with murder.

I think Everton and Forest can pick up 2 wins out their remaining 4. Can't see Leeds winning any of theirs. 

 

We need to beat Fulham and West Ham to stay up IMO. 

Forest are down if they don't beat Southampton imo.

 

Chelsea will eventually punish someone and Forest are appalling away, they have Arsenal at home as well as Palace away on the final day. Drop points against the Saints and they're in massive trouble.

 

Everton might get out of it though; they're travelling to a collapsing Wolves side and are at home to Bournemouth on the last day, who are already safe.

Shhh. You’re looking silly. 

They were there for the taking.

 

It’s an online forum, not a public debate.

Like everyone, I’m very disappointed and worried about tonight BUT….with all the pressure of not losing….will Fulham away actually be a better (dare I say easier) game?

That is what I am hoping for. This was such a mess of a game, and that actually played into Everton's more direct approach. Hoping Fulham is calmer and we can actually get control of the ball for more than a second! 

 

We have to beat Fulham, because Liverpool and Newcastle will likely steamroll our defence, and West Ham at home end of season with all that pressure... These boys will fold, they always do on big games. 

[copunk]

The midfield was all over the place, holes literally everywhere

Maddison has dug us out the s**t plenty of times and Ive praised him when the goings good, but he was absolutely attrocious tonight, players miss penalties and I can take that, but the amount of times he hung onto the ball for far too long was beyond ridiculous, fannying about time and time again when the chance to put the ball in the box was there

Youri's head has been gone all season let's not lie, so lightweight, never ever challenges for the high ball, I love the man for what he has brought to us but it really is like playing with a man down starting him 

Cags outstanding again, only missing out on a MOTM award thanks to one of the best goalkeeping performances I've seen from someone in a city shirt 

I think we can feel lucky coming away with a point in all honesty

 

[lnkstern]

I still maintain we needed multiple fresh leg substitutes at 65.

 

Most of the players had been running themselves ragged at that point.

2-2 is not a disaster. Hugely disappointing but not a disaster. Losing would have been a disaster.

[Foxdiamond]

Not good enough. Another game without a clean sheet and missed ideal opportunity to get a 2 goal lead. You just knew Everton would at least equalise.

[Jakemoore]

Before tonight I honestly thought Dean Smith had sorted our defence out. Now I’m not sure he has. We looked SO open in both halves with both set ups. The midfield was being bypassed with absolute ease. I don’t think the back 4 necessarily had a bad game and Iversen had an absolutely worldie (thank god). But what the hell was going on infront of them? The midfield was just non existent all night. If Everton weren’t so shit, we’d have lost that. 

[blue blood]

What a thrilling final few games we have!  This relegation dog fight is exciting!! 😂

The point is better than a defeat. It is in our hands at last. Maddison gets that penalty, we win. Simple as. Iversen magnificent. 10/10. We will stay up. 

Wish I had ur confidence! Deffo going down to the last game of the season!

[Weller was god]

When we stay up give iverson the freedom of the city. Madders please don't take another penalty

[FosseSpark]

Utter garbage.

Made Iwobi, McNeil and Lewin look like seedorf, zidane and drogba. 

Everton could have had 5 away when they literally cant score for (pun intended) toffee. Thats how bad our defensive play as a team is. Lose the ball in attack and we are more open than madonna's back doors.

vardy, soyuncu and iversen - magic

The other 8 were terrible.

If we play tielemans and soumare as a 2 again for the rest of the season we will lose all 4 and go down. They are like walking through an u15s team of asthma sufferers.

[HankMarvin]

Everton were allegedly 2 times more likely to get relegated than is before the match. You wouldn’t think that as the final whistle went 

[StanSP]

Annoying. 

Our players are infuriating or do so many infuriating things. 

 

Iversen kept us in that. Barnes was absolutely honking tonight. 

 

That should have been a win. Maddison scores the penalty (why the fvck is he taking it?) and we win it. Vardy should be banging that in. 

[KP Fox]

I know we are all disappointed but our current form (including the  Man City game) suggests that we could get points of Liverpool and Newcastle. 

[Ashdav86]

2 critical mistakes there 

 

Starting Luke Thomas

 

Letting maddison take that penalty

[lanefox]

The doom and gloomers will love it but as things stand we're safe, Fulham have nothing to play for , other teams down there have hard games 

 

Everyone together now oh when the Saints go marching in

[merlin1969]

I'll take a point.............  as it stands we are safe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Big Blue Maff]

Maddison what a willy puller he is , always wants to be the big man , he lost the ball more times tonight & ****ed the penalty up , why would he care he’s going anyway 

[LFox99]

where's the rating thread, I wanna eviscerate Thomas and Youri

[The Quick Brown Fox]

Alot of that game was played as if Brendan was still in charge. 

 

Not enough urgency or fight to get us out of the trouble we are in.
