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

[ArtetaMagic]

So many problems I wouldn't know where to start. Stuff it, if we beat Sheff Utd I'll not give a toss.

 

[Frenk]

That's probably our only chance at a trophy from an Everton point of view thats demoralising.

As the wise Mandalorian says: ’This is the way...’

 

[T LEAFE]

Accept dross.

That is our role in life as an Evertonian
Its been going on for too long
And few signs of getting better
Tonight was deflating
Pathetic is the word

"We are disappointed, of course. It was an important competition for us. But, no regrets, because the team performed. We had a difficult start but after 25 minutes we were in control defensively. We were good defensively until the end and were close to the penalties. We have no regrets."
I despair.

It was Cenk....I can see his hair blowing in the breeze

Yeah it's still deffo a red, but I agree on Mina, he reacts as if Tyson had just caught him with an uppercut.

Yeah definitely. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Mina there. Good gamesmanship means he has to make the most of it to try get him sent off. Wasn't that serious a foul though really.

A good welly up the arse a few minutes later in response would have been nice.

Ah well. Not the worst thing in the world to keep our fitness for the league.

 

[T LEAFE]

Well let’s just move on and not dwell

Why?

Have to say, that makes for grim reading.

LOSERS

People moan about our expensive yet disjointed squad but for once we were up against an even more expensive yet disjointed squad.

We were playing a flat back four against a team who could push their full backs high and exploit how narrow we had to be. They had a better midfield. On the rare occasions we found ourselves on the front foot we choked at crucial moments. They got lucky with a refereeing decision. We lost. On to the next one.

Thanks to @AndyC for the report & poll again. Must be a difficult ask after such a disappointment.

We are - pretty damn obviously - still far too light in the midfield pool. We also need replacements in other departments. If n when that's accomplished, we can go toe to toe with the "top 6" more successfully.

Yes and some things we can't change end up changing us

The manager has to be diplomatic in public. I doubt he’ll have said that to the players behind closed doors.

No we are out now

Do you want him to say, "They were all garbage!"? He's needs to keep their spirits up.
