Match Thread FA Cup, Hull City v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[UltraVires]

Gray MOM but I thought Allan had a solid game

Allan tries which is more than some but he simply isn’t up to the speed of the English game at any level.

….in the hat, what matters most.

Magnificent away support. An insult that @4737carlin calls them the Benitez fan club and @ForeverBlue92 suggests they threaten the Managers family.

What a support base we have, one thing we should be all very proud of. They are Evertonians not a fan club for this Manager as one suggests or vile as another indicates.

WERE ON THE MARCH WITH RAFAS ARMY

A worldie and a certain blindness toward two penalties and a free kick on the edge of the box.

you could also say a blindness towards Gomes mate because that was a red card all day long.

120 mins against Championship strugglers Hull City

Goals conceded (5-4-1): 2
Goals scored (5-4-1): 2
Goals conceded (4-3-3): 0
Goals scored (4-3-3): 1

What have we been asking for?

My MOTM was Gray, could have scored a few in the end had he been clinical. Special mention for Andre Gomes today, difficult with a 2 man midfield but kept the ball well and some of his passing was superb tonight, I think he would flourish in a 3.

Hopefully we have seen the back of 5-4-1, I somehow doubt it but we can hope. THAT is the way forward...

Still not seeing a future for Benni yet, some more wins needed in the PL if he lasts that long.

 

[Mashtray]

Thought JPG showed up today a little

 

[Librarian]

Probably should have been 3-1 at HT, could have had a couple of penalties and didn’t get much off the officials.

Some good performances.

To the travelling fans, you deserve the best.

To be honest, I just associate away fans with prolific cocaine usage and alcohol abuse.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Gray man of the match, worryingly he alone is why we are in the next round...

I want to believe. Would love us to win the FA cup.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Allan tries which is more than some but he simply isn’t up to the speed of the English game at any level.

Sadly starting to look that way. He definitely is not a 90 min player. Perhaps a combination of him and JPG as sub is the second half of season solution.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Considering our most recent away cup ties have included

QPR lost pens
Huddersfield scraped through Extra Time
Kopite Kindergarten lost
Scraped past Lincoln after scare
Millwall loss
Kopite loss..
Hammerings by Lyon and Atalanta

We should just be grateful we haven't added to the long litany of away day embarrassments.

 

[Nymzee]

Well we won but that's all I'm happy about. Performance was pure gash.

 

[verreauxi]

Erm, is that 'indomitable' as in one word, or, 'in da mid table' as in a phrase. I sincerely hope it is the latter as, despite the win, the formation is set up for all Premier teams to see us off.

Indomitable and "in da mid table"...good pun!

 

[mikel_88]

Needs to be in mid 3 dacoure allan gomes

Allan tries which is more than some but he simply isn’t up to the speed of the English game at any level.

 

[Parker]

Better than any of the goals that Begovic save.

Massive hand that, a properly ridiculous stop.
