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

[BlueStevie35]

Made hard work of it, especially with 10 men but won it with a beautifully worked goal, from a selfish view point, I hope we get a home tie in round 3 so I can have a chance at going

 

[deipnosophist]

I normally vote for Crab Iwobi... mainly because I vote for people I feel sorry for. This game I have gone for Gurnalot Kenny

 

[Sphinn]

We were unlucky.

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

One of theirs too, to be fair. Didn't see much wrong with it, but lots of oddball things got counted as offside tonight. Weird.

 

[Bluestar]

Two wingers scored tonight. Goals from midfielders.

 

[Tubey]

One of those games where no clear MOTM, but probably Iwobi nudges it with a 6/10 performance.

 

[superkeeper]

Wasn’t pretty viewing, but at least we got the job done, which is all that matters in cup games.

 

[trueblue84]

Absolutely. We were playing against the officials as well.

Hope benitez says something about the ref. We heard klopp and solskjaer say something at the weekend. Needs to be a review of refereeing in England. The standard has been shocking for years, yet still manages to get worse year on year.

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........

Misery! Our new signings are having an impact, nice to see and even better at the price. Sooner Kean and James get lost so we can spend the money on real players the better.

Who would win in a Silly Contest?
Delph or Moise Kean?
I hope today has been the last time we see this fella in a Toffee shirt.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Also lol at us all watching how horrific we were at defending set pieces, specifically corners, in every pre season game and that still being a problem 3 games in to championship cannon fodder. God I miss Dave Ancho and his deep lines

 

[ToffeeTim]

But if Benitez had played best team everyone would have complained

Not me, I want to see my team win something before I die. Who's arsed about getting 7th or 8th

 

[steele]

Poor performance from crap players. None (except Gray) performed at a level I demand as a fan. C R A P.
Good night ?

 

[Toffeeback]

Benitez showing signs of getting a little bit of a player out of Iwobi, at least.

 

[Sona]

Good to see us grind out a win in a game of strange decisions:
• Kean was onside for his goal
• Kean shouldn’t have seen red; yellow was enough there. Idiotic from him nonetheless.
• Huddersfield unlucky to see their second ruled out; however, he was offside and immediately in front of Begovic

Gomes changed the game when he came on; dictated the tempo really well and lovely play for Townsend’s goal. Could’ve had a second assist for Gray in the last minute too.

Benitez got his changes spot on again when the chips were down. Happy to be in the hat for the next round!

 

[Summer76]

We haven't lost in the 2nd round since 2002.

Even by this competitions standards this surprises me
