Everton draw out City in the quarters.

Everyone on GOT’s heads fall off.

Meanwhile, Carlo on hearing the news....

Cant understand this thinking.

Why do we have to face City at any point?

Could we not have seen City taken out by Chelsea or United and then coasted through the QF and SF against Bournemouth or Sheff Utd or S'ton; then faced a one off against United, Chelsea or Leicester?

This is a disastrous draw. With a full Goodison, maybe. That's not to be. They want this and they'll demolish us.
Because they're the best team in the country.

Using that logic why would Chelsea or Utd beat them? And if Chelsea or Utd beat them, why wouldn't they beat us.

You're effectively saying we don't have a chance. Moyes would be proud of you Dave.
 

To many defeatist people in here for me lol, we have to beat everyone and we were always going to get a hard draw-its the Everton way, many thought we would not beat spurs weeks ago but we did, no reason not to beat City [off course everyone knows how good they are], but give your all for the 90 and anything can happen

you couldn't give a toss anyway dave, All you care about is Liverpool not winning the league again.
 
Even if we beat City we'll have atleast one or both of Chelsea and Utd in the Semi's/final - and if someone can say we can beat Spurs, Man City, Utd and Chelsea then we should be winning the league not sat in 7th.

Thats not slagging Everton off thats just being realistic.

We are all desperate for a cup but we just aint there yet and neither are sides like Leicester, West Ham etc for clubs like us you need luck in the draw - Saints getting Bournemouth in the quarter for example.

Our best chance of silverware wasnt 09 it was the year Wigan beat us in the quarter - would have had Millwall in the Semi's then an out of sorts City in a one off final but we bottled it.
We needed a one off game against a top team in the final. We cant clear 3 of them out the way.

Yep, tbf I'd rather take a top side out at the QF stage. If we get beat then so be it. We are at home (regardless of how little advantage we have, the away dressing room is proper crap at our ground lol)

Beat City, I'd fancy us against anyone left I the semi finals

City are City. If you take a gun to that gunfight you just get outdrawn and killed.
 
The pressure is off us now, imagine the fume if we drew Bournemouth away and got done by them again ffs.

We go into this one as underdogs, with nothing to lose. We’d have very likely had to beat them to lift the thing anyway, so I’d rather the game be at Goodison in the QF than at Wembley.

They’re in their stride at present, but who knows what their form will be like in 6 weeks time? I’m fine with this draw, it kinda suits us.
