FA CUP 2020-2021

[Mitch Ward's Minder]

Jeez the way people in here effectively write us off because we’ve drawn City. Our fans would be awful to bare if we ever got to the latter stages of the Champs league...”oh ffs, Barca! Next season eh lads”. Want to be the best you’ve got to beat the best.

I think @Joey66 was giving out the toffees that day.

Never got one toffees it was like a rugby Scrum......of lads fighting for a tofffe.......

One off game I;d take. Beat them and you win it.

If we beat them in the QFs then we'd have two more from United, Chelsea and Leicester to defeat.

Spurs
City
United
Chelsea/Leicester

That's a tall order. We are not an elite team again yet. And that's what only elite teams can do.

It's hard regardless of who we play. We can't expect to get 'easy' games all the way to the final.

If you look at the draw, if we get past city, we may get Bournemouth/Southampton in the SF.

Either way, we have to play at least two tough games if we want to win.

Ild like to have seen another team have to clear them out the way.

Our best chance was to avoid them and get minnows in the next round then prepare for 2 more big fights.

I definitely didn't want them either, they are the only team I really dreaded. But there's not much we can do now other than look forward to it when it comes and give it a good go. If City are too good for us then so be it.

I always want the easiest team in the draw at home.
When we came out first, I said to the kids ‘that’s ok then’ and then City came out and it’s an automatic FFS.

I don’t usually expect us to win as when I do Everton mug me right off. Wigan always springs to mind. No way I saw us losing that game.

We can deffo give City a game with our best side out on the pitch at Goodison and Carlo on the touchline.

That could've gone better!

 

[KMC]

So disappointed with the negativity surrounding the City draw. What pride is there to take in winning a trophy if you're not beating the best teams?

 

[mawders]

Oh well. But no reason we cant win. We do have a good team when they decide to turn up

I think the most popular 2 views on here is :-

1 - We are gonna win it, our name is on the cup
&
2- Not getting our hopes up, this is Everton and we`ve been let down 100s of times before

What we wouldnt give for a sold out GP for that game though, would be rocking.....

Yes matty!

yes mate!

If we are going to win it we have to beat City at some stage so better to get them at home in the quarters than away or at Wembley. We may not win but we have a better chance at Goodison.

 

[anton66]

To be honest, if we had gotten an easier tie we would have been crapping ourselves getting City in the semis.

Nobody will be expecting us to win. They will have CL games and a League Cup Final and are hungry to get their title back.

There is a chance.

They should really be aiming for the C/l them Premier League. Should bail out of the FA cup.

If we actually went all the way to the end then it's either at Goodison now or Wembley in the final that we'd have to face City - I'd rather face them on home turf. Let's make a statement and take the game to them

I'd rather have drawn Bournemouth or Shef U and hope someone could knock City out myself like

Exactly boys, just got a feeling as well on a bigger pitch like Wembley, City would probably get the better of us the longer the game goes on. Would rather play them at Goodison were hopefully we can make life very difficult for them.
