Match Thread Everton v Man.United Carabao Cup - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Tramps_mate]

Defence was all over from the start. Foolish move changing a solid back four.

United look pretty good tbf. Probably a much better team than us right now. Disappointing as it is.

...a very disappointing performance given the stage of the competition. For once we lacked creativity and were overrun. Only surprise is we were still in the game with 15mins to go making me think we might just have our name on this. We didn’t coz we’re Everton.

Godfrey, Doucoure and Sigurdsson worthy of mention but Mina my MoM for the 2nd game running.

Our squad isn't good enough I'm afraid it shows it again

To many mediocre players! If you see Bernard trying to play football... My God that guy is awful! Coleman, Iwobi are championship standard and Richarlison is totally out of form.

Siggy with a poor ball and we were hit on the counter. Good on the lads for trying to make it happen but its a high risk strategy. Hate to go out like that but we weren't in it for the first half an hour. MOTM Siggy and I hope Richy is alright after he was assassinated

You are kiddin.

Embarrassing cowardly performance from team and management

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Got exactly what we deserved with such a cowardly performance.

Everton that is alive and well.

Gifting Sheffield United their first win of the season on Boxing Day would be the most Everton thing ever.

 

[tsubaki]

Didn’t watch the game. Should Cavani been sent off?

grabbed Mina around the throat for about 5 seconds, then threw him to the ground

the ball was not near them

no card, no foul even

 

[Kantareller]

Poor game, Utd fully deserved that. Richy going off gave them so much space

 

[mawders]

Everything was bad about that. Passes going astray everywhere. Clearly players are knackered, and Utd are looking strong. Probably need to give half the team a rest on boxing day. Forget it, move on.

 

[Mashtray]

Ref favoured Utd. If he wants to be a ref with the big boys he is going to have to learn to favour them more subtlety

Long way to go knobhead

 

[rochdaleblue]

We needed a fully strength team to win tonight, their strength in depth was clearly superior to ours. But even allowing for that, it was still a very poor performance. I desperately wanted us to win something if nothing else for our younger fan base, but sadly we are still well short of the quality in the squad to contend for trophies.

 

[SteStocksDJ]

Cavani deffo shouldn’t have been on the pitch. But we didn’t deserve to win

 

[Bullens Rd]

Looks like Iwobi's 1.5 game super purple patch is over. Back to his first 18 months form tonight. Utterly horrific.
