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

Had to read that twice...I though you said Dobbin on the beach lol

Dobbin on the bleach!

Not sure if that team is good enough to beat Huddersfield tbh but i am not really that bothered anyway and would rather rest players and not risk any injuries. The league is far more important to me than this mickey mouse guaranteed trophy in the pocket for the same clubs every year nonsense.

Hope Kean has a blinder.

COYB's

You just know for a fact that if Kean scores he ain't celebrating

If he scores I don’t really care whether he celebrates or not tbf.

It's been shown internationally so a google search for a certain streaming site might do the trick.

I'm able to watch it through work so will update as I can

taa mate

Games on TS2 if anyone wants to listen so they don’t hurt their eyes

Aye well all our managers have deserved to be sacked on the spot at some point tbf.

Though in fairness, Pickford nearly cost us the first EFL game last year didn't he!

Anyway, it is what it is. Like I said, disappointed not to have more attacking quality in the 18. Hardly surprised not to see James - litmus test for that is Brighton though then again have accepted he's probably never playing for us again (and I'm sad about that).

I will never agree with mass rotation for a side not in Europe. Its needless, it rarely works and it shows a manager doesn't understand what the fans expect.

We have barely a midweek game all season. Why are we resting players? Are they not fit enough to play 4 times in 3 weeks?

If we go out I will lose it with the manager.

 

[Zatara]

343 i reckon

Begovic
Holgate Keane Branthwaite
Kenny Gbamin Davies Nkounkou
Townsend Kean Iwobi

It's nice to get squad players involved though. Kenny, Branthwaite, Davies, Kean and Begovic all probably don't get a start for months if they aren't playing here.

 

[LeeCarsley]

cautiously optimistic. These lot got battered 5-1 by our ex manager so we need to at least beat them 6-0 lol

 

[deipnosophist]

I reckon winning the Florida Cup might have instilled an element of hubris within the Club. Everton, whilst always living by its motto of nothing but the best being good enough, should sometimes curb its appetite for trophy success...and this latest competition gives us every chance to do that.

Its handing out starts to players who don't deserve to play on merit. We have devalued the competition, we have disrespected our opponents and we deserve to go out.

No need to get all dramatic

Watching some African fellas having a chat around a lovely cow skin rug on my stream at the moment. The magic of the league cup.

 

[ToffeeTim]

No need to get all dramatic

Its how I feel. Its nothing new.

I want to see us win something and this selection shows the manager isn't on the same page. Its disrespectful to the supporters travelling down there as well.

Normally i'm with you, but with the Euros this past summer, Richy's crazy summer, etc, etc, I'm ok giving these guys a break. This team should be good enough to beat Huddersfield Town. If we lose, we lose, but I'm not arsed punting on this one. If nothing else, it gets fringe players into the season - it's good of morale for as many players as possible to feel they are part of things early on, and this is a good way to do that

FA Cup is another story, would like to see more of our team starting. In this specific circumstance, i'm ok with it.
