Everton v Leicester City match thread

[Gerard]

Maybe Huth and Benoulane start to increase their understanding.

 

I would expect Drinkwater, Vardy and Albrighton to play no more than 60 mins.

 

I'm surprised Vardy and Drinkwater started when you consider they're both high energy players and have played a lot recently.

Looks like one of them human pyramid things.

Reckon we might see a Ulloa cameo today. Would love the big lezza to bag a goal

[st albans fox]

And crucially we have dropped the official red away kit!

Ndidi not even on the bench

Worrying?.. Carrying a knock?

Tight groin - a precaution apparently 

[GeorgeTheFox]

Vardy and Slimani will absolutely bully that Pennington guy. This is going to be a test for him to prove if he is as promising as some Everton fans have made him out to be

So either go all-out and knacker the team or give the game up before a ball is kicked? He's looking for balance. I'd have rested Vardy and Drinkwater though mind you

I expect Vardy to get about 60minutes , taking off Drinkwater would require some pretty major reshaping though 

[FoyleFox]

Ndidi not selected as a precaution due to a tight groin.

 

Pretty happy with that.

 

That photoshopping

Good balanced squad but surprised to see few included; Vardy, Drinkwater, Gray and Albrighton. 

 

Haopy ti take the loss today tbf and focus and Madrid. Could of maybe been replaced with Musa, Mendy, Kapustka. Mahrez/Gray could of maybe done a half and half stint? 

[bart]

Would have liked to have made more changes but I think its the replacements available which has largely dictated the team.

And here I thought I was going to match the players today in my fancy red LCFC shirt.

That's what I was wondering, but probably just resting him. He looked a bit knackered/out of sorts last match.

 

Edit: Ah, carrying a knock, hope he's ok for Wednesday

They need to sort out the relative size of Benny's head. And the fact Drinky and King seem to be merging into each other. I'm not sure if I'm in the match thread or deep into a particularly upsetting acid fuelled nightmare.

[Happy Fox]

Tough game, a point would be great so we can leapfrog Watford, then we can focus on Athletico.

[surrifox]

Mendy is broken again (reply to EGB)

[ST20]

Going for 2-2. Vardy and Gray.

[FoxinNotts]

With that line up, I'd be more comfortable with the formation being 352.

Wingbacks of Albrighton and Chillwell,

Gray in behind the strikers. Amartey, Huth and Benny at the back.

That's just shit. They're not even facing the right way. Looks like Kevin Mirallas has fallen out with the rest of the team too

Mendy? I haven't heard that name in years...

Mendy was unbroken? I missed that minute....

[Foxxed]

If we want to rest Drinky we going to bring on small cabbage? Shakey hoping Drinky can play himself into form?

[m4DD0gg]

I guess Amartay is RB?

 

The photoshopping is awesome, those necks.....look like ostriches!

 

 

[Corky]

We'll do well to avoid defeat in this one although the strike force looks promising if we can put pressure on them. The defence looks like it might have a few issues however.
