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

[Jamo Martinez]

I'm voting for Davies because I'm still laughing at the moment he tried to head the ball and accidentally volleyed it straight up into the air.

 

[BlueToff]

Regardless of injuries, we know the glaring holes in this squad.

Have nothing up front outside of Dom and Richy (as actual forwards).

Have very little creativity without James.

Have no depth at left-back that Carlo trusts. Showed tonight how much we missed an attacking threat (not that Godfrey has played badly).

Have very little dynamism in midfield without Doucoure/Allan. We obviously know about right-back.

We need to address at least two of those issues in the next month.

There are no excuses. None. It should have been done at the end of the summer window and wasn't - that's on the recruitment team.

We're running Dom into the ground and we'll be lucky if Richarlison can feature in either of the next two matches.

We have four games in the space of 12 days now. And we didn't plan for them.

True look at the subs, they bring on Shaw, Rashford and Martial.. we bring on Bernard, Davies and Tuson.
We have a good first 11 after that we are pants.

Spot on
If Digne , Allan & James start tonight I think we win that game.
Our lack of depth in woeful.

The appointment of Ancelotti suggests we mean business. The player recruitment really doesn’t.

As much as he’s garbage there were moments better players in better positions let us down.

The players we’ve brought in under his tenure have been good?

There's nothing wrong with the recruitment since Carlo came in.
Give him a chance mate.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Accept dross.

Not one bit. Understand theres a process happening and it will take time. Absolutely. I'm as disappointed as anyone but we are so reliant on a small core of players to do the job. Thats the crux of it for me.

Top 4 at Christmas though eh. Not so bad.

Yeah that’s true but leaving gaping weaknesses in the squad, quite unnecessarily negates the positives. It can’t be done in one window I guess, but leaving Tosun as back up striker was shocking.

 

[The binman chronicles]

It's the hope that kills. No stand out sides this year and we have yet again just let another chance slip through our fingers. Gutting.

Yeah just frustrated tonight.

Would of been City in the semi

Defo. The aim of my post was not to single Tom out for criticism. I spent most of the match swearing at the extensive array of poor passes from Gomes, Siggurdson, Iwobi, Bernard etc. That moment of Tom's literally made me laugh out loud but he didn't actually give it directly to a Utd player and help set up a counter attack.

The money will be there if needed.

I feel that Brands and his team have not had enough conviction and the Kean loan still massively frustrates me.

The result isn't really on him or anybody tonight other than us not having enough on the day and naff scheduling - it'll cost every team (bar the one that moans the loudest).

Just in general, it's clear what we need and there should be strides to get those players in quickly and decisively. There isn't an excuse not to do business when the table is so congested.
