What the coach has to say
Interim head coach Rick Passmoor after last weekend’s loss to Tottenham Hotspur
“I think we’re disappointed and frustrated because if we had delivered the game plan in certain moments then we would’ve been more proactive and not conceded two soft goals.
We were just a fraction of a second off it at times, but those are the moments we saw in the rest of the game, dominating possession, looking to play and winning our duels.
“We just need to finish those chances that come to us in and around the box.”
Team News Everton
Head coach Brian Sørensen on team news: “We have five injuries. We will put out a good team against Leicester still but some of those are key figures that would normally play and start. We have to manage that but we still have a good squad available.”
What the coach has to say
Sørensen spoke to the media ahead of the clash with Leicester City:
On the opponent: “Leicester are physically very strong and very good in defending. You have to break them down. They’ve been looking good in the first few games, a solid unit, and it’ll be a test like every game is in this league.”
on Issy Hobson: “I spoke to her and she was happy to be back. She enjoyed being (at Forest), but she’s an Evertonian and a Blue. It’s a big jump for a young player to break into a team in the best league in the world, but I know 100% defensively I can rely on her.
