Match Thread Reading vs. Everton - Tuesday 22nd Sept - Capital One Cup Third Round - 20:00 KO

[Whistlin' Dixie]

We're clearly improving, we're only 1-0 down at half time this round!

Aye. 45 mins for Reading to bag a few more..........

 

[MikeH72]

He has been miles better than Lukaku tonight.

Judging by the commentary on the Everton site he's been utterly atrocious

 

[monty]

Can we pat Kone on the back for the first two games and then kindly usher him into the bin now please?

Can't the bin is full......................McGeady, Ossie out for the night and we may need room for Mori

 

[sageyefc]

Osman rip up his contract at half time, I literally noticed him once and that was when he fell over and lost the ball

Get Gibson on for him.


And rom and kone have been so bloody bad

 

[snipellis11]

Bad half, i just don't really know whos playing where, really need to step it up second half.

 

[penev10]

Deulofeu and Barkley looking good.

Lukaku stinking the place out of it and Osman in anonymous mode.

Look hurried and disorganised most of the time. Shape seems wrong. Despite our possession in good positions we just haven't been at the races.

Here's hoping for a second half turnaround.

 

[Bobbys Shoe Polish]

Guys, it's disappointing we're losing, but nobody is really at fault. We're 'probing' and looking threatening with gerry and the pace maker on the wing. Chill, we got this

 

[GardinerEFC]

Not mine mate, the one I quoted smacks of bigotry and jingoism though.

Well i hope not , lets just put it down to a misread ay

 

[ianefc]

McCarthy has looked poor again imo

He's spent the gam coverering Mori, as all he has done is give the ball away in advanced positions and then had no pace to get back where he should, its no suprise that their right sided attacker has looked their best player

 

[faddy the blue]

Take Osman off, give him his retirement bonus and send him home. Bring Galloway for Osman, switch to a 442 FFS.

 

[AlE]

Could do with someone on the left... Everything from us is going down the right wing and its all pretty predictable

 

[deipnosophist]

That half was very forgettable. We are not very good against teams that we 'should' beat. I am looking forward to playing Man U...but think we will struggle against WBA

 

[BernieWright13]

Am not able to watch game tonight for 1st time since el bob arrived. Are we really as p1ss poor as the posts on here suggest? Is it as clueless as some of last season or just unlucky?

 

[Sennott Street]

Sub Naismith on for Rom. Play Kone up front and hopefully they can play off and support each other.

 

[Tilling]

Robles and Deulofeu have been quality so far. Kone has been better than Lukaku at the very least. Osman has been poor. Funes Mori has been average, not too great but not bad either. Rest have played alright.
