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

[Tipp blue]

Yeah but on the plus side, we're magically going to have a good second half of the season and finish comfortable in midtable.....

I'll take that now.

 

[UltraVires]

We were denied 2 penalties. 2nd half we were doing well until they scored out of nothing. Not saying we were great but there were positives.

The only positive is that we won but we were embarrassing once again. If you say anything different then you either don’t get football or you are so blinded by your loyalty to the club.

 

[Connor]

Well, that was grim

 

[YoboCopter]

Seems like there is actually a fair bit of team spirit? Were just crap and have a terrible manager

 

[terryefc]

Tough watch that was. Bar Gray and Gordon we're awful. Play the kids from now on.

 

[everton1953]

Delighted for the traveling fans who did us proud. Top people all of them. Safe journey home. Well done blues.

 

[BlueToff]

Gray MOTM. Gordon not far behind. There weren't that many poor individual displays out there. We're just terribly set up.

 

[Steve Wigan]

It was horrendous positioning - straight down his throat and more than saveable.

Hit brilliantly with swerve by Townsend,but don't give Everton any credit will you?

 

[okellypj]

If they would have had the 6 players they are missing they would have beat us.

Wrong set up, awful ingame management - just terrible. We scraped a extra time win over 19th in the championship with 6 players missing.

Bit of a weird shout this as cant help but think with DCl and richarlison and mina in.. or even any other striker than rondon, we would hammer them.

 

[BlueToff]

Tough watch that was. Bar Gray and Gordon we're awful. Play the kids from now on.

Thing is, bar Rondon, who is just always very bad, what player actually performed badly today?

I'm not saying any of them were great, but I don't think any of them would rank below 6/10 for performance?

We're set up terribly by a terrible manager and until that changes (either he changes how he sets up or the manager changes) then we'll continue to see performances like this.

 

[Voodoo Billy]

Worst refereeing I've seen in a long time..convinced Friend actually wanted us to lose that..even the commentators struggled to save him

Switching refs between VAR and non VAR games doesn't work. Prem refs have become a bunch of lazy ***** as VAR make decisions on their behalf. This bellend couldn't even give a handball where a player had his hand above his head when he was stood in front of him. He certainly saw it as you could almost see the little gerbil running around the wheel inside his brain as he decided on his decision.

 

[Eggs]

Gray MOTM. Gordon not far behind. There weren't that many poor individual displays out there. We're just terribly set up.

…actually link well them two. Rondon just watches them & then can’t keep up which is really embarrassing for Benitez.

 

[BlueToff]

Hit brilliantly with swerve by Townsend,but don't give Everton any credit will you?

It was straight at the goalkeeper like. It was a decent shot but if Pickford had made that error people on here would be saying to sell him for 12p to Sunderland.

 

[woodsyni]

Thought Gray and Gordon played well, Gomes and Townsend were decent, brilliant save by Begovic....the rest? Well.... Thought the new LB had a bit of a mare tbh

 

[Librarian]

WERE ON THE MARCH WITH RAFAS ARMY

Played much worse against Bristol City in 95
