Thracian Posted 27 July 2014 Share Posted 27 July 2014 Encouraging. Whatever Everton's commitment you can only beat the opposition in front of you and we looked both well focused and well able to score goals. Friendly or not it's always good to win. Vardy looked a real handful and Nugent as sharp as anyone could surely expect at this stage. Decent winning goal too. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basingstoke Fox Posted 27 July 2014 Share Posted 27 July 2014 Started with Kasper De Laet Morgan Moore Konchesky Albrighton Drinkwater James Knockaert Nugent Ulloa Then... Kasper Moore Was Morgan Schlupp Mahrez Hammond King GTF Wood Vardy With Wood, Vardy and GTF floating around those front three positions, Everton commentators didn't really read out the subs but I'm certain that was it. Hamer played in the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey O'Neil Posted 27 July 2014 Share Posted 27 July 2014 I was unavoidably detained this morning due to shotguns, needy mates, nice weather and motorbikes. Anybody provide me with a decent summary/write up of the match with some ratings/comments please. Thanks, SL This is all you need to know...

ozleicester Posted 28 July 2014 Share Posted 28 July 2014 I'm still waiting bitches. Played at a pretty slow tempo, Everton were slightly better in the first 15 mins, but we were easily equal. After 15-20 mins we werre pretty dominant, Knocky was tasty in the first half, Ulloa was pretty ineffective, but i dont think we were delivering that well. They had a couple of chances that they shouldve scored, Kasper was good. Nuge buried a cracker of a volley but was offside, at half time i would say it was pretty evenly poised, maybe us shading them slightly. Complete, revamp of the side in the second half and we pretty well controlled the game, they again had a couple of chances and Piennar was a standout but again we were definitly on top and really pressed, Vardys pace was a real shock for them and Marhrez looked as good as last year. The goal was a bit of a mess but a deserved result, the game itself was slow and definitely played as a friendly but a good run out for the boys and a fair result.

nickchallis92 Posted 28 July 2014 Share Posted 28 July 2014 Morning all, I've just returned from Bangkok having travelled in Thailand for a month. At the time I had no idea but I boarded the sky train in Bangkok last night to be greeted by a carriage full of Thai men and women wearing Leicester shirts (some real, most fake) and carrying Leicester flags. A lot of the women had also gone fox-face paint crazy. I'd always known that king-power was a brand associated with Thailand but had no idea that the locals would take to Leicester like they did. It was quite amazing really and i'm sorry I didn't take a photo. Anyway congratulations on your 1-0 win. I happened to be on the flight home with the whole Everton squad. Sylvan Distin looked particularly moody. Your friendly Charlton fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted 28 July 2014 Share Posted 28 July 2014 Nugent's volley strike was pretty much world class! Never thought I'd put those three words in the same sentence. Could the Prem plan be Nuge and Vardy to start and if winning take them both off, stick an extra man in midfield and put Ulloa up front on his own?

Captain... Posted 28 July 2014 Share Posted 28 July 2014 Just watched the highlights, some good moves especially in those conditions, looked very hot and humid. I hopefully a confidence booster in that they will realise they are just playing football, 11 men vs 11 and that the premiership isn't full of super amazing unbeatable players. Yes Everton will be better on August 16th, but to have played against a number of the players that will be starting for them and played well and beaten them will ease the first day nerves.

Whilst it'll no doubt be a slight confidence booster, but I don't think we beat them with ease. We had patches of good play, and certainly improved in the second half demonstrably, but I think our substitutes we of a higher quality to theirs, as they primarily put out a C team, giving us a slight advantage. Their team on the first day will be much much stronger, so for me it'll be nice to continue a thread of positive performances in our friendlies, and shake off the rust of the off-season, and find the team sheet that will be ready and fully prepared for the challenge ahead, but I certainly wouldn't put much weight on the result against the actual forthcoming Everton fixture.

There will be no complacency we know that players like Barkley, Howard, Mirallas, Baines, Jagielka will come back, but there won't be the fear of oh my god it's Everton. They will see names like of Distin on the teamsheet and think Vardy had him on toast, Barry, McCarthy, Pienaar, Osman all quality midfielders 100 prem starts between them last season, but we held our own against them.

Corky Posted 28 July 2014 Share Posted 28 July 2014 The comment about the fans is rather odd, of course we're going to struggle for support over there by dint of being out of the Premier League for so long. We know our place, and Everton will garner more shirts because they are a bigger club and are constantly in the top division. I'm not sure what they've learnt from that, other than Everton are a bigger and better known club, which we all realise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry my bad. Misread your post clearly. I don't think the team should or will approach the season with fear at all. I would hope that expectations of a vocal minority allow the players to make inevitable mistakes, and time to bed into a season that's going to be a steep learning curve. Vardy, Knocky, and Nugent looked ready. I was a little unsure of Moore's performance in fairness, but again I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, and I hope he can make the step up.

cc_star Posted 28 July 2014 Share Posted 28 July 2014 I missed it unfortunately, my brother thinks Ulloa looked awful? Awful? Not sure on that showing To get the benefit out of him our other 10 players will have to change how they play & what brought us our record breaking success Strange signing imo, unless he's a plan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwell Pablo Posted 28 July 2014 Share Posted 28 July 2014 Although he was a total total rip off I Wouldn't read too much into Ulloa first appearance in a Leicesters shirt, given it was a friendly in Thailand. He was hardly likely to stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the Everton forums has been very similar reading. I thought a club built on good values having to share a city with some of the most graceless fans in the world would have some tact but alas not the case.
