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

[ToffeeDoug]

Interesting to see Pennington. Don't know much or anything about him really.

Had loans at Tranmere and Coventry. Played centre the other night vs. the RS for the u-21s, with Jones playing RB so a little odd tonight.

Martinez looked physically drained on that pre match interview

What did he say?

 

[daza_1973]

Stones's body language with be interesting tonight - should give a few clues

 

[ToffeeDoug]

If people boo him they are stupid.

Presumably we want our fans tonight to help convince him to stay.

I think he did play RB for Coventry. I think.

Nothing much just the usual Everton want to win this trophy blah blah bah stuff

Was he even asked about anything transfer (i.e. Stones) related?

Reckon he'll run in the shape of the Chelsea badge, so much it'll appear on the grass.

 

[Khalekan]

Exactly, he's starting because he has to. We are so short in that position. It's the same reason why his request has been/will be refused at this time.

Exactly.

His inclusion tonight surely means there is zero chance of him leaving at this time.

 

[bizzaro]

Whatever happens tonight. I blame Kenwright.

 

[Sennott Street]

16 Games at CB / 6 at RB for Coventry.

seen him a few times for the kids , quite steady no fuss just defends

 

[ToffeeDan]

Not pishing about with the team selection are we?

 

[maccavennie]

Such a shame. Feck you Kenwright for not matching this lads ambition View attachment 13032

You know what mate that's spot on in a sense, you know what else, how about these players spare a thought for us fans and match our ambition of trying to win trophies. Only way you do that is by keeping your best players. Be nice if potential class players like Stones give it a couple of years in the first team before deciding to jump ship at the nearest opportunity.

The board are to blame, but footballers acting like tits shouldn't be given a free pass either imo

If people boo him they are stupid.

At this point certainly.
