Match Thread Huddersfield Town v Everton, Carabao Cup - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Cork Evertonian]

Truth be told i'm not that bothered about the performance. This evening was all about getting the win, and going through to the next round. So it's job done in that regard.

Alex Iwobi and Andros Townsend - name a more iconic duo.

They are our scouse Chas n Dave

 

[Lob]

It was never going to be great with that group of players but through anyway albeit luckily so.

Lesson learnt for RB tonight hopefully and play a better team next time or at least have a better bench.

 

[MACCA75]

We have some truly awful players. Like, a lot of them.

 

[AmericasToffee]

I liked Nkounkou tonight. Kean just has to go at this point. That cracker of a goal should have counted but what a bonehead

 

[hallamblue]

He got it completely wrong and we were lucky.

Now let's take round 3 seriously.

I would suggest that the EFL cup will consist of reserve teams until the last 8 due to the short summer break. Managers are protecting their players already this season to avoid burn out.

 

[Groucho]

We were unlucky.

One goal wrongly disallowed and a harsh red leaving us with 10 men.

 

[Sadken]

Not his biggest fan but Gomes did well there. We need a set piece coach as we look like we did under Silva oh and can Keane be left in Huddersfield, absolute joke of a footballer. Runs and kicks a pass like he had no knees

? The worst centre half I have ever seen, with holgate a close second.

Timmy knows that he just wants to complain.

 

[edge]

Read it from 6.45 to kick off too.
Beauts .

Thank got that's over.
We are through so job done.
Hats off to Huddersfield made it hard for us ,did themselves proud.

As a team we have never looked any good with a back 3/5 whatever anyone wants to call it and would have kept the same shape as against Southampton even if the personnel was different..... The sending off probably forced the change in shape.

Something we know, Everton make it hard for themselves and their supporters

Happy to be in the next round, ground it out but lets not forget this Huddersfield side arent world beaters! Lets enjoy it while we can........

posted elsewhere recently about the time that Big Sam tried it away to Arsenal and we got torn to ribbons, they put 5? 6? past us

don't like it

 

[jaycee]

If we had lost we couldn't have complained, we won and right now that's all that matters, I couldn't give a MOTM as nobody stood out

 

[Davidoff]

Why do we do it to ourselves?

coyb

Which you have to do. But not in fifa

And did brilliantly to win it where most Everton sides - most sides full-stop - would’ve collapsed.
