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

[D410]

Get Holgate on

 

[Chegsy]

Finished better but whenever they get the passing going they look like they can create something.

 

[USABlue]

lucky to be even here after that first 15, awkward last few minutes as well. Hope Carlo and Dunc get them fired up for the 2nd half

 

[TheBigIguana]

We definitely have not figured it out with this system. It does some things but we really need a true third midfielder and that is not Sigurdsson

 

[Zezti]

Weathered early storm, grew into it and had some decent chances. Godfrey very good again

 

[danwardale36]

Clearly we aren't familiar with this brand of football. Can't be any other reason why we are playing gash

 

[AmericasToffee]

How is it just 1 minute? Mina was arseing around for at least 3 minutes after the tap on his hooter.

Shhhhhh

 

[mceverton]

Currently sat here with my feet up and just cracked open my fourth can and I feel as though I still managed to put more of a shift in than Gomes in that half

 

[ToffeeTim]

I am delighted to be nil nil. We deserved to be 2 down after 20 mins.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Olsen has been very good.

 

[KaiserEFC]

The first half never happened...

 

[maccavennie]

We got very lucky 1st half there. Could and should have been 2/3-0 down after 25 minutes.

Still in it but we really need the players to show some football intelligence. We get into positions and instead of playing the pass that is easily on we just toss possession away. Richarlison, Iwobi, Gomes all done far too often.

Still, we are still in it.

 

[Kantareller]

Brutal pressing and tempo by Utd so far. I'm crapping myself here

 

[Armchair Blue]

Gomes is making Tom Davies look competent,he needs hooking at half time.

 

[Big_nev]

Think Utd fully expected to come out the blocks fast and try and blow us away in the same way they did to Leeds, a combination of luck and decent defending kept us at 0-0 and we've grown in to the game since.
