Everton v Norwich City - EFL Cup - Tuesday 20 Sept, 19.45 KO

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Just a couple of whinges from me, no Lukaku, we're knackered, someone needs to tell Ross to stop taking that extra touch, and just shoot.

Some people are full of ugly wham bile.

I'd like to believe that, but having about 8 decent players in the entire squad... he'll have to rotate at times, and the backup players are about League One standard.

Do you really think they'll put a poor performance in like that again, ain't happening there'll be an inquest tonight

The people who are saying they are glad we are out. The fact that Everton have won precisely nothing in the last few years should make us want to win any kind of trophy. Winning a trophy will breed confidence for the future.

No one is glad but it's not the end of the world. What is more worrying was the performance. Apart from the few chances Gerry had we never looked like scoring.

I don't think Barkley is creative enough and Valencia has lost his pace and looks finishes at this level.

Poor but not that arsed, more worried about Barkley. At the moment he's not a patch on the player he was in his debut season and he hasn't been at that level for quite some time now despite no injury setbacks etc.

Think the calls to sell him are ridiculous though, hes still young and could turn out great but I've definitely downgraded my views on the overall level he could reach.

Niasse was the saviour we needed

 

[MartSlinger]

I would like to see Geri start in the number 10 role against Bournemouth

He isnt seeing the starting eleven for a while, neither is Lennon or Cleverley.

 

[when i score we riot]

I'm out on a limb and saying this is the one game where everything starts falling apart

CALLED IT THOUGH

 

[Thomasc]

Don't get anybody saying it's not important and it's a Mickey Mouse comp.

It's not if you get to the final.

Back down to earth when beaten by Norwich reserves in afraid.

 

[blue to the bone]

Not good enough.
But beat bournmouth and palace and on we go

 

[whiteshadow]

Haven't we got any young striker who is worth playing?

Surely one of them is good enough to score about 5 goals a season and actually look half decent.

Valenica looks like a waste of space and Kone isn't that much better. Just play a youngster imo.

No point using experienced players if they're only experienced at being crap.

I would like to see Geri start in the number 10 role against Bournemouth

I would like him fired from a cannon in the general direction of Spain.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Those bashing Cleverley on tonight's showing are unbelievable. By far one of the better performers tonight.

He was tidy in the way that Joe Allen is tidy so I really would prefer him not on the pitch. That said his performance is always a solid 6 of 10 so tonight that's toward the top end of the team

It's never acceptable to lose at home to lower league opposition. It's inexcusable. We were deservedly well beaten. And a lot of players let the boss and fans down. They were so far off the required standard it's crazy.
