Match Thread Carabao Cup - Fleetwood Town vs Everton - Match Report and MotM Poll

[Brett Angell Delight]

We’ve struggled with these kinds of ties in the past, yet tonight we went through without much fuss, despite our injury/lack of reinforcement situations. Got a few minutes in the legs of some second stringers as well.

I’d say that’s a decent night’s work.

 

[Nymzee]

Why did we lineup vs Fleetwood with a back 5 btw? If any of you hoped we’d go to a back 4 eventually, stop thinking it.

 

[Mozza1987]

Well midfield we only have 2 and up front we have none really

But that is probably are starting midfield Iwobi and Onana and nearly are starting forwards with Gray, Rondon and McNeil with Gordon likely leaving. Just shows me must go into the market and massively improve our attacking options.

He’s very fortunate not to be injured. Disgusting some of those challenges.

It was , ref was letting way too much go .

 

[Joey66]

Worried about Dwight McNeil awful performance again......

 

[roy vernon]

Dont think i can remember a worse Centre forward performance in my life ( & ive seen some bad un's)
Ended up just laughing in the end ,just like their Centre backs where.

Don't think I can remember us having a worse centre forward in my life and I'm including Brett Angell and Bernie the Bolt in that.

 

[Moomin]

3.5/10 performance that.

 

[Nosidoog]

His wages are disgusting if they were £150 per week..no club will entertain him we need a CF for our next game....

£150 per week is just about right

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Only watched the 2nd half, nice cameos for Mills and Warrington, Onana did some nice stuff, Iwobi was my pick. Defence looked comfortable. Desperate for a decent centre forward with some pace and strength. Rondon just isn't quick enough or sharp enough to get on the end of anything. Couldn't fault his effort though

I was thinking we would have gone 433 tonight tbh

Yep defo

Rondom MotM, classy win, clean sheet and through to the next round of the Haribo Cup.

 

[Chrismac]

I know we're half joking about playing Keane up top but im honestly struggling to see what Rondon brings that big Mick wouldnt.
His touch is better than the flat slugs and he'll win more in the air.
I think the main reason Frank wouldnt do it as we would get laughed at by the media and other fans.
But, it would have 100% been an improvement tonight.

 

[ToffeeDan]

This season rapidly becoming a "Who is the 2nd best Blue on the pitch after Iwobi" poll..

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

Iwobi for man of the match……again.

It was awful to watch though wasn’t it? Rondon getting bullied by 2 yards dogs was painfully hilarious.

Vinagre’s touch was still at Finch Farm

Onana couldn’t really get anything going as he was too busy picking himself up from foul after foul

Coleman was alright considering he was playing in the back 3

Patterson did well, I think he’ll end being a really good player for us

Gray may have scored but he was infuriating. One trick pony

McNeil also infuriating. No trick pony

Keane was shaky on the ball on usual

Welch did ok, made himself available to receive the ball. Still a lot to learn about his positioning.

Begovic wasn’t really tested, but did his job when asked.

Warrington is gonna save us some money. He’s impressed with every opportunity he’s had

Tarkowski brought a little bit of calm when he came on

Mills didn’t really have time to do anything

Next round and all that.
