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

Isn’t there VAR, it’s at a premier league ground right?

No, they scrapped it in all grounds for this cup due to it not being fair that some games had it and some didnt.

Should definitely be putting up a good fight here, We only lost last time due to letting there best player walk freely in our box unmarked and then hit a cross-shot without any pressure, I don't think Fernandes will play anyway but these are seriously awful at the back. Richarlison and DCL should have a good time today because Lindelof and blockhead are pants.

There wasnt for the Arsenal Man City match last night.

Hoping we can get one over on these lot tonight. Utd have some of the most self entitled fans I’ve ever come across myself so always happy to see them humbled albeit nowadays we are pretty much equals

 

[Martin Alvito]

These will be the toughest team we’ve played in this period. V underestimated (as are we). We will badly miss Allan tonight.

Perhaps they're the toughest if Dr. Jekyll shows up. Mr. Hyde, not so much. United's fixture list is one long string of bizarre results. Hammer Leipzig 5-0, lose to Spurs 6-1...I could go on.

OGS rotating Fernandes would probably be great for us, so I'll believe that it isn't hot air when I see it.

Agree. I’d be surprised if Ole rotated too much as he knows that shiny things like trophies do keep fans satisfied even if a lot of clubs fans almost consider this cup beneath them.

Why on Earth is VAR not used in the cup? We got royally shafted against Millwall in a cup game not long ago, two goals they scored would have been cancelled out if VAR was in use. Ridiculous to have it in place in the league but not the cup.

It's just as likely we could win the game because of a dodgy decision that would be overturned by VAR so wait and see how it plays out before you slate it.

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

...still take it though like ffs

Don’t have to imagine it. My FIFA06 sides are legendary. Think I won the quad like 5 years in a row. Thrilling stuff.

We should win this, the rat will be replaced with Jesse Lingard hopefully and we are having a full strength side as possible, the fans should keep them going until the final whistle and get a win.

Tell Arsenal that after Fodens offside goal last night.

 

[R.Reddington]

Don’t fancy us tonight , prove me wrong blues.

Lingz, Pogblert, and Martial have had worldies against us previously. Gonna be tough
