Probably a fair result in the end

I think it was a very good game with two honest teams that tried to play football. Barry should have gone but I'm glad he didn't and the result means if didn't matter anyway so best decision all round.

The difference in quality was very apparent too so to come away with that performance and result is very encouraging. I fully expect you to be very good when they're all match fit.

Everton shaded the first half but I thought we were well worth the draw in the second half.

A great point to start the season off.

Morgan and Moore were immense at the back, I hope try form a great partnership at the back.

Credit to Hammond when he came on. Not an easy game to come in to but did a good job. Still feel De Laet is a liability and caused most of our problems in the first half.

We know Pearson has a striker on his list but let's hope a full back is also on the agenda.

Up the City!

Mersey Everton did not shade the first half they owned us. completely different second half though

A draw was a fair result although i am sure Everton won't feel that.

good start foxes

To be honest, a draw away from home to a newly promoted team is a great result. I can see leicester go on to win the next few games with ease. We done our club proud considering...I very much doubt United, City or chelsea would have done any better

Leicester 2-2 Everton

Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "It is a bit of a mixed feeling because we knew it was going to be a difficult fixture against a team with promotion and a good feel about them.
"We were a little bit soft in the way we conceded the first goal and then when we got the second goal we were a little relaxed and it was a bit too easy. Overall, disappointed that I feel we threw two points away.
"The first half display we were always on the front foot, causing problems. In the second half we did the same without a penetrating edge. I'm sure that for Leicester it will feel like a victory and for us a defeat, but it is a start."

Leicester 2-2 Everton
Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson: "We certainly deserved something out of the game. There was an element of bad luck for both of their goals. Having defended the shot it took an unbelievable strike for the first and the second was a good finish but we felt we we worth being level at half time.
"To come away with a point bodes well for the players showing belief but we do have more quality than we have shown today.
"There's an element of bedding in when you come to the top flight. We have to believe in ourselves but the players will have taken many positives.
"It's nice to come away with something and they are a good side wit quality individuals but I'm convinced our players can adapt to life in the Premier league."

Sounds like two different game,what colour were Roberto's shoes today?

I thought de Laet did alright to be honest and he was as much exposed by Mahrez not defending as well as he could have.

Also let's be honest, Baines and Pienaar were excellent in the first half and I think many teams would have struggled with their movement and precise passing. That said they needed two unstoppable goals to penetrate us and Kasper didn't really have to pull off too many saves all game so that's encouraging. I thought we defender brilliantly and definitely deserved a point.

It seemed like you got ahead and then tried to defend the lead in the second half, which played into our hands and gave us the opportunity to put you under a lot of pressure. We did this so often last season so it was great to see our persistent pressure pay off against a quality side like Everton.

I think both sides should be happy but conceding so late does tend to feel like a defeat or a win depending on which side of the stands you're in.

I was gutted that we conceded so late,but the Leicester fans seem a good bunch,so I'm over it now.

I'm just watching Palace,looks like they'll be hard nut to crack yet again this season.

I find you lot a good bunch too to be honest, unlike our dingle West Midlands neighbours, West Brom who are extremely difficult to have a sensible debate with.

Genuinely hope you can crack the top four and get above Arsenal 👍

Well thank you kind Sir.

Really good performance, especially the 2nd half
Everton totally controlled the 1st half and showed the quality they have
Their first goal told us all we need to know in regards to how easily you will be punished
2nd half we we far better and matched them and deserved a point I think
Morgan and Moore were massive at the back and don't thin Schmeichel had a save to make 2nd half
Barry was a lucky boy to stay on the pitch after a clear 2nd yellow card was avoided.
I hope DD's injury is not too bad though to be fair Hammond did a decent job
Let's hope we get Cambiasso in next week and Albrighton and Vardy to come back also.
All in all extremely happy with that start
Small matter of Chelsea and Arsenal for us next. Ouch

Two away games now where we're not expected to get anything and a good performance will be a good result before United at home which we have to feel like we have a chance of a similar result to today and Everton are arguably better than United 😉

Delighted with a point. Thought Everton looked excellent in spells though im surprised by their second half performance.

Our boys dug in and I thought competed pretty well. Im more confident of our survival chances today than I was yesterday. There's a lot of togetherness in that squad and I think theres a bit of talent in there too.

The fans were brilliant today. Great day.

Yep all in all a good day. Good result against what was a good Everton side, particularly in the first half and a good performance by our boys. Encouraging thing is that I know we can play better and with players still to come back im certain we'll stay up. Having said that I thought king and Hammond who weren't regular starters last season were very good.

Roll on Chelsea
