Everton 1-1 LCFC - Post Match Thread

[StanSP]

Great to see the response from the side after half time. Definitely seeing a better and stronger mentality in the side now. Battling back and never giving up. Sounds cliché but it's still true. 

 

Key players performing well. Midfield dominated. Youri and Barnes 

[Gevans_97]

I’ll take that. 7 points from Saints Chelsea and Everton is an impressive haul. 

[Dr The Singh]

Second half was good.  Really needed a striker and Maddison didn't really show up

[Blue ROI]

Not a bad point. Draws between us and  Everton over the years and us in the league this season have been few and far between.  Balance restored a bit.

 

Cpuld have won it but Fair play to the lads. Dug in for that. Qualitee and intensitee as someone famously put it.

[Dandy king]

Looked good second half and they should feel lucky to get a point. Complete shit housery, If that's even a word. Describes them well though. 

[Fox85]

We look a better side with Under in it anyone who thinks different are insane.

 

Love Marc Albrighton but under starts over him anyday of the week.

With results around us going our way I will take that. We were the better team. Maybe someone can set me straight, but I don't see what Perez offers us up front. You need goals to win matches, and although he is far from perfect I think Nacho looks more likely to score them.

[RowlattsFox]

And breathe. 

 

Disappointed not to win the game, but equally happy with the point.

 

Played well I thought in a tough game against a defensive side. 

 

When did Ancellotti turn into Allardyce? 

[CloudFox]

On Perez, I think he tried his damnedest to link play, but he's not a centre forward.

 

Couple of times we were spread wide on both sides of their box, with no-one making runs into the middle. Think we should persevere with him though, he's a great link player and could be a decent false nine in time.

[Halifax Fox]

Everton pants. And cheats. Referee pants. Really deserved a win there.

[OntarioFox]

Massive point thanks to the Blades! Good performance against an absolute blocked toilet of a team.

Yeah, maybe a slight lack of cutting edge, but we're still creating. Justin, Madders and a few from Youri that could have swung it our way.

We move on - and the best news is we don't have to play them again this year.

[The Quick Brown Fox]

The best thing about that is we didn't lose any ground on our top 4 contenders and actually closed the gap to Man Utd by a point (unexpectedly). 

Happy with a draw but F uck me we should have got a second In the second half. Vardy plays we win that, we so badly need someone that can come in and do half of what he does so we don't miss him as much as we do. 

Played some lovely football though so happy with that. 

Wilf could be a massive loss though, but Mendy did a job when he came on. 

[CosbehFox]

Get ****ed Everton - pushed Big Sam out for the same brand of football 

[OadbyBlue]

Considering fofana, castagne, JJ and to some extent tielemans and Maddison all had off days (compared to their recent high standards), a point isn’t too bad

[Blanchflower78]

It's a good point, arguably deserved more. Still worrying signs when balls fizzed in our box. Need Wilf back in there. Pleased for Perez who whilst not spectacular, found a way of being effective in the adapted system. 

[EnderbyFox]

Imagine being the home team pushing for a European spot and being camped on your 18 yard line for 70 minutes. Horrible negative team. Mersey Burnley

 

Used to think Grealish was the most unlikeable player in the league but Richarlison has easily taken that crown 

[wokinghamfox]

Only unpositive about tonight was Perez. Happy with the point and could've been 3

[Vazman]

Well done the Foxes far better team, against a defensive Everton, who were boring to be fair

[SixtiesFox]

Hard earned and fully deserved point. We look like a top four side, as for them? Nowhere near. 

[KansasFox]

SHould have won that really, but we were a bit impotent up front. Still 7 points from Southampton, Chelsea and Everton is a decent return

[moore_94]

Always going to be difficult to break down a team playing 4 centre backs and every other player on the pitch on their own goal line

Maddison didn't really show up

He was too busy being fouled all the time.

Everton were absolutely wretched, that was like watching a 2010 Stoke side.

I didn't understand their tactics at all, we'd lost our defensive midfielder and a second goal would've killed it I reckon.

 

Just invited us on and on.

[RoboFox]

Not really a fair reflection of the balance of play. We absolutely showed them up second half.

Perez invisible again. Even half a Vardy up front and we win that.

 

 

[TJB-fox]

Haven’t watched much of Everton up until about a month ago. Was hearing an awful lot about their brilliant season from the likes of Cahill, Osman + other pundits. They’re absolutely foul, really turgid football. Is that what the so called mighty footballing side Everton have spent all that cash for? Total crap. We should’ve won that but at least we didn’t lose to them.
