It's an absolute piss take mate and not acceptable. I'm not arsed when people say "they need to be fresh for Saturday".....they've got 3 days off after tonight so they should be fresh.

Absolutely sick of our management/teams chucking Cup games. 28 years of absolute [Poor language removed] and we're supposed to say tonight doesn't matter.....well I hope someone is willing to pay every Everton supporter who went tonight the £60-80 that shitshow would have cost.

They disgust me, absolutely disgust me.
Me old man has stayed over nearby and costing him more than that for the whole trip. Christ it just cost him £6 for a pint in the boozer nr to where he's staying
 
Looking at the last 7 or 8 minutes, 4-1 down, yet they still play across the park with absolutely no sense of urgency. You’d think we were 4-1 up. No one takes responsibility and the team is totally devoid of ideas. I’m sorry, but Lampard really is clueless.
And the players are also clueless
 
How do you decide to rest Coady and Tarkowski and Pickford when we've just got one more game left? Your 3 most vocal performers.

Are we that good that our best players need to be rested?

Our only attacking player (Iwobi) rested.

This after a half arsed lacklustre effort against Leicester.

Lampard has simply ramped up so much oressure on himself it's untrue.

Bad BAD management tonight.
Mad isn't it.

No idea why Everton coaches keep doing this year on year it's tantamount to throwing games. Fans who travel and watch knowing the white flag accompanies the team sheet must be on tablets.

Poor from Frank there and as you say heaped unnecessary pressure on himself
 

They must be trash if they can't get games ahead of some of our players.

Remember when ancelotti would not even name a full subs bench, he didnt even trust our kids to sit on the bench lol
Mate, I don’t care if the kids might be crap, we all know Keane, Mina, Holgate, Davies aren’t good enough and are deadwood at the club. There is literally no point in playing them.

11 changes should have meant Frank starting welch, mills, price and cannon tonight or at least brought them on. His tactics were suspect as well, but that showing was on the players in the main.

He needs time and transfer windows, but he could have at least tried a few of the kids tonight, as he clearly wasn’t arsed about the competition.

Well said mate
 
A timely reminder of the level of delusion and egos of the players who were in that starting 11. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at these.

It's out of order mate, I'm sick of it. Absolutely sick of it.

If you'd seen 4-1 and not watched the match but seen this side

Begovic
Patterson
Welch
Holgate
Vinagre
Mills
Price
Garner
Mcneil
Cannon
Maupay

You'd still be fuming once you found out they'd changed 9 players too.

The fact we had

Holgate
Keane
Mina
Gordon
Davies
Doucoure

In place of some of the above and still got stuffed is an absolute disgrace.

I'd rather they just say "hey guess what 1,200 Evertonians, we aren't even going to give a toss about this match so there will be no tickets on sale".
 
Awful performance. But you just sort of expect that what happened tonight , was going to happen anyhow. We sort of hope that this team can win a football match. But I think that deep down it’s all about the opposition not turning up. Then we have a chance. When the opposition turn up , and show some fight , that’s it . We get beat.
Now for me most of that shambles tonight , barring the guys who came on far too late, and Patterson and Garner , should not be anywhere near this team this season. That includes Gordon. God help us if it’s those guys that we have to depend on for premier league survival. It won’t work twice. They got lucky last season.

How long now does Lampard get? He’s not been great . Can he get a result now against the Bournemouth first string? This all seems to have a note off enevitibility about it. It all points to another defeat on Saturday. I just don’t know anymore about Lampard . Is he right for the club. As much as I’d like to think so. His record is almost as bad as previous managers that got the boot.
What’s his philosophy? Why doesn’t he use subs sooner. Why does he stick with combinations that don’t work. Why no strikers for half the season. Even one of the young strikers up front might have worked. And why just one striker at a time. How about playing two. Maybe get a partnership going. And why no youngsters tonight?
What is Lampard bringing to the party? Sorry folks , but I’m beginning to think , not very much.
But we go again in a few days. I’ve got everything crossed. It’s as good a plan as any. Because I doubt that Lampard has much of a plan. Two of our better players tonight Garner and Patterson are most likely benched on Saturday. Isn’t that what Lampard does. Maybe play 5-6-0 on Saturday. And still concede. Still get beat.
And don’t worry folks, if we win , I will be the first to say , well done Mr. Lampard. I’d love us to win.

And what happens after the World Cup. Bet we are the only team that return lethargic. Bet we are the only team that takes to about February to get going. The joys of being an Evertonian. Up the Toffees.

Ps. I’ve mellowed a wee bit folks. These sort of defeats used to annoy me. But to be honest , I’m getting used to it. We all are. Frankly folks , it’s getting to the point were I couldn’t give a dam. Well at least until the weekend.
And not much point suggesting who should play at the weekend. Nothing seems to be working. Ah well , it’s back to praying. Rant over.

Yeah I'd rather seen a few of the kids play from the off, and it not work out. We need to see what's potentially coming through the ranks.
Never would want to see Holgate or Keane again at the back.
Still can see his face when he turned in that OG right in front of me at Norwich...NEA
 
The utter petulant stupidity of 'Lampard out' shouts makes me want to vomit. In less than a season he's made us infinitely more resilient and started work on overhauling our midfield. I utterly despair at the cretins we have 'supporting' our club.
Nobody is saying that or very few. He did however get it badly GASH Tonight with his tactics mate.
