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

[evertonandchelmsford]

Don't know what Olsens record is like for saving penalties? Something to consider if it's a draw after 90 minutes straight to penalties Pickford normally saves one or two.

I think Pickford will play tonight then Olsen on Boxing Day at Sheff Utd.

 

[Crestfallen]

Please let us win tonight and get Brentford in the semis

Then stoke in the final!

 

[The Binman]

Brentford would probably do us with their fast and attractive football..

So United could be without Wan-Bissaka, Shaq, McTominay, and Fernandes? That’s good news if so

They’ve got some decent players aside from them obviously, but you know if Carlo sees them not taking it seriously when the team sheets announced, he’ll make it clear what a chance we have

Who's Shaq?

Missed that big game feeling of actually looking forward to a latter stage cup tie

Then stoke in the final!

Just got an odd feeling Stoke might do Spurs if Mourinho isn’t playing his strongest side.

Felt like we’d win this yesterday. Not too sure today.

I can smell a penalty shootout on the air.

Mourinho has always taken this competition seriously and Spurs need a trophy too. It has been a long time for them. I think he will rest some but will still play Bergwijn, Bale, Vinicius in attack with Hart in net. Doherty, Davies and Rodon in defence as they were all rested at the weekend. Would not be surprised to see Ndombele and Dele in midfield too. It would be a big shock to see Stoke even take them to penalties.

Then stoke in the final!

Stoke winning on penalties is the fantasy. Imagine looking forward to the final against Stoke. Man City in this thing is the only reason I am not getting excited.

 

[PhilEFC]

Into these Blues.

Glad Carlo specifically mentioned Fernandes in the build up, hopefully he's got a plan to nullify him. Without him United aren't anything special but I wouldn't fancy letting him have the ball the way we let Arsenal's midfield have it on Saturday as he could actually hurt us. I'd play a midfield of Richy Siggy Davies Doucoure Iwobi and just tell Davies to man mark Fernandes.

Will have to score 2 because the diving scum bags will get a pen.

Even City are beatable. We just need to turn up, work hard, and hope the tactics are on the mark.
