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

[Shibbywiggles]

I think this game is decided on which manager takes it more seriously given the mad rush of games. For OGS, Champions League qualification is more important than the league cup so I think he may rest some (hopefully Fernandes who was the different last we met) but for us... god we would love a trophy.

Little amendment there, pal

Not gonna happen is it pal. 2016 was the chance

 

[Shibbywiggles]

only to find that on Feb 28, London is still in Tier 4 and there is no crowd allowed, pubs closed and a long train journey back... that would be Everton to get to a final in those circumstances.

Imagine winning a cup with virtual fifa crowd noises celebrating your winning goal

...still take it though like ffs

Need to put our strongest team out against the Mancs as it might not be a prestigious trophy but it's a trophy and we're only a few games away from winning it.

Even if we rest players against Sheff utd and get beat it wouldn't be the end of us challenging for a European spot as there would still be 23 games left to play.

Cup final moved to 25th April.

Cup final moved to 25th April.

And the reason there, if any even needed to Guess

This season’s Carabao Cup Final has been rescheduled and will now take place on Sunday 25 April 2021, with a 4pm kick-off.

It is the objective of the League to stage the Final with as many supporters in attendance as possible and the decision has therefore been taken to move the Final from its original date of Sunday 28 February 2021 to later in the year.

The number of fans permitted will be dependent on Government guidance in place at the time and it is hoped that moving the date to later in the year will give Clubs and their fans the best opportunity to attend in person.

....I hope we are practicing penalties at USMFF.

 

[PaulPowersTash]

Your boys can easily win this game.
Defensively they are poor.

 

[PeregrineT]

Going to be a really tough one, but massive opportunity. Would be amazing to win 4 in 10 days against the likes of Chelsea, LCFC, Arsenal and Man U, probably the best stretch in modern history. But if we did pull it off, theres a 33% chance at being matched up with the likes of Newcastle in order to get into the Final.

Be interesting to see if they shift the semi finals back a bit from the start of January too. Be a bit odd having a 3 and a half month gap between the semis and the final

Get past these & I think we've an excellent chance of actually putting some silverware in the trophy cabinet. It's amazing what a little bit of success could do to the player's confidence, especially with a top class manager in charge. Things in football can change very quickly. The hope is what keeps us coming back for more.

I think it will strongest available tbh and changes against Shef Utd

I think he will play the strongest against united and Sheffield
Rest players against City and bring Coleman and James back
Points there for the taking against Sheffield, not so much at City
