LCFC v Everton, 21/09/2024

[RonnieTodger]

Gueye, Garner and Branthwaite all out. Their back line is rancid, just ****ing have a go at them.

Darren England is the referee.

Not sure what his record with Leicester is like.

It's still early days but this game is massive. Lose and we'll likely find ourselves in the relgation zone with a pummeling at Arsenal to come. Win and we'll give ourselves a cushion and the game against Arsenal will be a free hit.

 

I am concerned that Cooper lacks the tactical nouse to be a successful coach at this level, but at the very least he must pick a more attacking team and adopt a positive approach at home against the worst team in the division at present. Anything less and the knives will be out.

Win this I really think our season can take off, Everton a mess at the moment perfect to take three points and get a bit of a distance from the bottom three.

Vardy?

“He’s really hungry, really motivated. You have to consider his age in terms of his preparation. He gets excited on matchdays.

Glad to hear someone does

0-1 Everton then…..

[Pliskin]

They’re 100% taking the lead. Can see it now, DCL shithouse.

We’ll be too busy putting five players around DCL

I wish Cooper would stop talking about that Mateta goal and just focus on this weekend.

 

One of the biggest games of our season coming up. 

it's turned half our fans into mad conspiracy theorists about how the PL is hiring referees to rig games to apply a points deduction so not surprising a manager who has the same level of coaching ability as the average fan is also on the same train

Seems like Myolenko and Calvert Lewin are both fit for Everton and they have Tarkowski back as well.

Couple of positives for us then

Pre Match preview time!

Ideally Everton lead 1-0 at half time. Dyche instructs his players not to leave their box and Cooper is forced to go attacking. Couple of late goals to ensure that there's not enough time for Cooper to hit the self-destruct button.

This has become an early ‘must win’ for both sides, but a draw seems more likely. They’ve clearly not started well but shouldn’t be underestimated either, can’t really imagine ourselves leading by two at Villa with Cooper’s tactics so far. That first win is even more important with Arsenal away after this one.

[Leicesterpool]

Let Everton score two first then we will win 3-2 LCFC!

A draw will not be enough for the fans to begin to believe in Cooper.

We went down last time because (well apart from the facts we had a shithead as manager, a coward as owner, an inept board and a squad who were an utter disgrace) we didn’t win enough of our key games at home. The KP stopped being a fortress. This is a must win.

He is the guy who sent Fatawu off in the game against Cov last season.
 

Tells you all you need to know how this is going to go.

Mavididi needs to start so he can go for Ashley Young
 

Everton fans expecting the below to be their starting 11

 

Pickford

Young
Tarkowski
Obrien

Doucoure

McNeil
Harrison

DCL

Will probably play like prime AC Milan against us but that’s a pretty honking line up

[lcfcbluearmy]

I'd play something like this

 

                       Hermansen

Ricardo.      Vestergaard  Feas.   Vk

                 Ndidi.            Winks

 

Fatawu           Buonanotte.       Mavadidi

 

                             Vardy

[CPepFox]

As much of a must win as can be. Need 3 points and the chance to celebrate a win in the Premier...

So you’d drop Skipp and Okoli - by all accounts two of our best players last weekend?

Okoli has had 1 good half and looked dreadful every other time he has played, however the main reason I'd drop him is to get vesterguard in as it has been very clear in the last 2 games we currently have no one in our defense who can pass and act as that link between the defense and midfield/attack and I think that is something that is needed and something vesterguard provides

 

It's a toss up between skip and ndidi they both played well last game I'd be happy with either starting but not both

Well I simply disagree on this - I think Okoli is improving and is going to be a very important player for us. Vestergaard was

dropped from the squad on Saturday - not a chance he’ll start against Everton. And Skipp has already established himself as one of our best players and will not be dropped.

 

The line-up will probably be very similar to last weekend, possibly with Ayew replaced by either Fatawu or Buonanotte. I’d love to see Ricardo come in but it won’t happen.
