\\ I agree on the Lukaku point but Schlupp looked to have two virtually open goals before he went off - Everton should have won but they looked lethargic throughout whilst Leicester had a fair bit more urgency and I think that, unless they start to inject a bit more spark, Everton could slip back into trouble.
Everton have problems thats for sure, but Everton cut through the Leicester defense like it wasnt there which is why they have a -18 goal differential. They are quick, look decent down the wings and have a few decent players which is why they always look like they put in a good game even though they are the worst team in the league. Their defense is just god awful and not just from their back 4 the whole team plays poorly without the ball. Thats why leicester are **** and will be relegated and at the same time always seem like they put up a good fight and maybe should have gotten something from the game. In a relegation fight you need goals for sure, but what you really need is hard, tough play when you dont have the ball and thats something Leciester do not have.
Everton should have scored a hatful and if Rommers hadn't played like a pissed up clown they would have done. Leicester's defence was ****ing woeful. Slow, out of position and all over the place. ****, in other words.
Almost perfect that Everton-Leicester result for us today (0-0 would have been better). If we beat Stoke next weekend (not beyond the realms of possibility), with the other fixtures next weekend it's possible we could end up in 12th spot on the night, 7 points above 17th spot. Wouldn't that be something ? I'm willing it.
A win is deffo on the cards forthe Stoke game. Leicester being on the bottom since Xmas and all through Dec until February. I cannot see them being above wooden spoon position between now and May. So there gone. And when we beat them in 3 weeks time and with their fixture run in. Well not enough points. A. Win/ draw at Stoke. 3 points agaibst Sunderland & Leicester. And we can look ahead to the excitement of the closed season and build up of pre- season. Positivity.
You forget that they now have a major disadvantage in their previously 'very good squad', namely Tom Cleverley.
Id rather we lost to Stoke and beat Sunderland. I don't think we will beat stoke away, I'd happily take a point though.
I've seen them mentioned numerous times on here, but that's the first time I've seen photographic evidence of a clown shoe
