Match Thread Barnsley vs. Everton - Wednesday 26th August - Capital One Cup Second Round - 19:45 KO

[The Equaliser]

Hang on.

Martinez has just said that Stones' performance was "incredible".

*passes out

 

[bluestevon]

What did he say

'sometimes you have to know in life money cant buy you everything' - seemed to be a dig at chelsea, when asked is he not for sale he said 'not for sale' also mentioned the authorities need to look at whats going on the last few weeks, could mean shutting the window or could mean chelseas action

I only caught ET and the last 15 mins of normal time, I was at a wedding rehearsal and couldn't look at my phone because it would have been too rude.

Here's what I've gathered, somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

• McGeady was abysmal (as usual)
• Deulofeu came on and changed the game
• Barkley had a cracking performance from the 2nd half onwards
• Oviedo was really poor
• Young lad Pennington was caught in the crossfire
• Joel was Joel

Anything else?

Barkley came on at half time, so yes 2nd half onwards he was class!

edit: oh and people hating Oviedo but he's fine, just needs fitness imo
Joel grew into the game, always makes people feel nervous though

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Absolutely disgusting performance defensively,same basic errors game after game,we really are turning into Wigan under him IMHO,Besic came out of it with honours,Thank God for Deulofeu,he really is magic you know,Barkley good too and turned the game for us,Lukaku came into it well when those two came on.

 

[Groucho]

Pennington was blameless, he was much better than Oviedo was.

 

[The Equaliser]

it was.

Yes. Incredibly bad.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Thanks for the extra time Everton. I won't get home until 1 and I'm up for work at 5...

Deulofeu and Barkley were brilliant.

Tom Clevery:

Centre-mid, Defensive-mid, attacking mid, left-mid, right-mid and now right back.

Anyone reckon he deserves a shout as our Goalkeeper?

 

[Frank Gallagher]

So if our defence is THIS bad.. with 40m john stones. What we gunna be like when he goes onthe lastday of window

*shudders*

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

What did he say

Saying he was incredible tonight, especially with all what's been going on, he was also asked about Stones going, he said "He's not for sale"

 

[Tree13]

What about the home end

Yep, I'd pick anyone from there ahead of McGeady too.

Rush keeper

 

[Merseyzig]

Good reaction after HT, ballsy changes that made the difference in the end. Was impressed with Barnsley's forward movement, when in possession all players are moving expectantly, having said that our defending is poor. Great entertainment though!
