Match Thread Queens Park Rangers v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[the golden visionary]

The fact that we still persist with him in the squad as if he might someday come good is just madness. Just get the £1-2 million for him and move on.

Einstein said the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and again expecting a different outcome

Not disappointed we are out...the mickey mouse cup will go to one of the 4 big boys...let's concentrate in the league and try to finish in the top 7

True but you'd expect a player who has played top flight to get NEAR one .
He got as close to one of those penalties as Rondon got to getting near the 6 yard box .

If you watch closer once again , you will see that he got close on few occasions. Indeed, he got much closer than their keeper did before Davis' blunder. I think you are venting your anger at the wrong man.

 

[ZissouBlue]

Davies over Doucoure and Rondon over Gray are the big mistakes for me from Benitez. Davies is awful in these types of games and Rondon is not close to fit enough. Other than that, what else is he supposed to do? This team is so poorly put together it's embarrassing. Allan and Coleman will literally break if you play them three games in a week. No DCL, Richarlison or Pickford. Gomes has been in decent form. Godfrey and Holgate have zero excuses for not handling QPR forwards.

Bright side is that we clearly don't have the depth for more than one competition, so what's the point in competing in the cups if we can't field a good enough team.

All the criticism, all the vitriol, in this forum right now... does anyone honestly give a [Poor language removed] about the Carabao Cup?

No vitriol from me, but I care about that cup. I start every season wanting us to win that over the FA Cup, just so we can finally get the clean sweep of domestic silverware.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Good old Charlie Austin. Same as Danny ings, always good for a goal against the Everton charitable trust.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Gordon stunk as far as I am concerned. Almost vomited after a small ‘run’ down the left

I think he was average but average sums him up. He resembles the likes of holgate, davis. Very average players. Championship players.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Everton are England never win on pens, think I seen them win 2 pen shoot out in my life time

2011 at Chelsea was the last shootout win in a competitive game, only other one between then and tonight was, ironically, another long shootout against West Ham in the 2015 FA Cup losing 9-8

 

[ToffeeTim]

People tolerating this garbage year on year. This is why we are a club full of proper losers from top to bottom.

Anyone who thinks its good that we lost is proper clueless. I'm embarrassed yet again. The manager picked a weakened team and let down the fans. He is a joke

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Pep Guardiola loves the Carabao Cup!

 

[Walter Ego]

I thought Gordon was really good tonight. Hopefully that’s put him up the pecking order. MoM for me.

 

[Fansince1988]

That's our season effectively over in terms of it being a positive one then. Nothing to be positive or look forward to now, we've just got another long tedious drawn out battle to determine which mediocre mid-table slot we're gonna claim.

Just watch the draw it would probably have been some one we would have no chance in beating. The PL have us where they want us. The bigger teams getting better and the rest are there just to make up the numbers, unfortunately we are one of those. I’m sure Moshiri would love to spend the cash, but he isn’t even allowed to do that down to an unfair FFP rule. That will kill the smaller teams and whether you like it or not we are forced down to rules to be one of them.

 

[Bebeto]

Davis has shrunk from the great of under 23s to one of the worst 2nd stringers of the league

He had a good game I think...like gomes any kind of shooting, even penalties is clearly not his strong point.

 

[the golden visionary]

Davies haven't got an angry bone in his body, weak shooting,weak passing, weak in the tackle. How is he still at the club.
