Team news Today's starting XI: Schmeichel, Simpson, Maguire, Morgan (c), Fuchs, Ndidi, Iborra, Chilwell, Gray, Mahrez, Vardy. #LeiEve https://t.co/8s1UfeDwnm Subs: Hamer, Dragović, King, Albrighton, Iheanacho, Slimani, Okazaki. #LeiEve Interesting. Need to get off to a good start today. UTF!
I can't work out the formation there so sure Everton have no chance! Much more interesting. Going forwards Id like to see Drago intergrated for Morgan as both CB's would be good on the ball but I guess he won't want to do everything first game, especially not drop the captain
Thought it was a 541 but Chilwell is advancing so far up it looks like we have 5 across the middle with the central players being Iborra, Mahrez and Ndidi.
Absolutely beautiful goal! Great by Gray beating 3 of them and great one touch pass by Mahrez! Looks to me btw from your previous post like Mahrez is central and Gray right but interchanging with Chilwell left. 4-5-1 or a similar 4-4-1-1 but more attacking than normal
We have just got away with one - Fuchs fouled an Everton player in the box that should have been a penalty...
Seems that Gray has been awarded the goal. Dunno why because Gray's cross wasn't going in but whatever.
Our loss your gain ! I was never much of a fan , but I had a chat with someone on here , and he looked at our site . Two managers , same problems , can' be the manager . The board are being talked about . The transfer window in Jan will be interesting . Either way , enjoy your season .
Plenty of positives not to take away from but still losing the ball too easy and rushing things. Would like to see us calm things down and keep the ball a bit to take the sting out as Everton look more up for it this half
Great first goal, but why didn't we up the tempo and really press a team who had offered nothing up to that point and looked nervous? We still didn't do that after the second goal and gave Everton every chance to get back into the game. Subs were absolutely spot on but wish they had come 10 minutes earlier. Mahrez had a good first half hour and I really hoped he could keep it up, but went to sleep after that and was ambling round like a little boy lost. Great pass for the opening goal but he has to do more than just show one bit of brilliance during a game. Gray showed him the way today. Pleased on the whole but would prefer more tempo and quicker passing.
Great result but gave them far too much ball in the second half. Sometimes we just tried to be too cute. However that's being critical, great three points and that first goal was a thing of beauty.
Great start in the first 30 mins, dropped off a bit too much for me after the 2 goal lead. i saw it as a 4-2-3-1 formation, then again i was in row B, so my depth perception could be off Schmeichel, Simpson - Morgan - Maguire - Fuchs Ndidi - Iborra Gray - Mahrez - Chilwell Vardy
