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

Jagielka yet again has been outstanding

He always is, Mr Consistency or what, love the guy

Did in the last round too, didn't get another start until tonight.

I dont know if he's just suited to lower league opposition at the moment, but fair play, he has put a shift in tonight.

I'm a big fan of Lukaku. And I'm aware the way Everton play often leads him isolated. And that we have a long history of blaming our strikers for other shortcomings like a lack of service etc.

But jesus he's been off the pace tonight.

I personally agree. I like him but he's not had his best game tonight.

For example. He normally at least burns the CB's off with his pace. They look like they've both got him in a foot race. Physically he looks out matched as well. Puzzling.

For his own sake I hope Lukaku grabs a goal because it's just been a waste of a performance from him tonight.

Well said!

Clearly he can bully the crap teams, like Chelsea. But he'll always struggle against a proper defense, like Reading.

We can never just turn up and dispatch a lower league side, can we?

Aerially speaking, Rom is extraordinary...he certainly doesn't do the 'Rise like a salmon' thing very well does he?

Think he just needs a rest

LOL

We've paid a lot of money here to bring back Alcaraz

Substituting the Beast normally acts like a kick up the anus to him

Worst game Lukaku's ever had for us? Christ he's been dire.

...that is not how Everton works
