Match Thread Everton v Watford - Carabao Cup 4th rd - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Does anyone care? The prospect of being the 2020 carabao cup winners doesn't send shivers down a mans spine.

I personally care. Some of my best days ever have happened at Wembley watching the blues. The 95 final and the semi against United where boss. Had some mares there aswell to be honest.

In the grand scheme of things, the cup doesn’t mean much however a day out in a final is boss.

 

[john jako]

as we lost Saturday you just know it's an excuse to bring all of coleman, siggy, morgan delph DCL back into the team don't you

Step forward Baines.

They are bottom of the league, scored half of what we have & we are low scoring. Plus the only 2 wins they’ve had this season have been in this comp & both against lower league opposition. We will absolutely boss these yellow rats all over the park.

0-1 to them

Needs to rotate as the players won't be used to playing 3 games in 8 days.
Gomes is a definite no no, he tires easily.

I'm expecting at least 4 changes

Could tap up our neighbours for some “tips” on how to not rotate a squad at all for 2 seasons without a single injury?

4-0 us, we ll batter them, will do no good for Marco's stay here though

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

They'll be up for this.
Unlike their fans.
4-0
Or
0-1 89th minute.

The inevitably of (a) an away win and (b) it being to his former employers putting the nail in his coffin is stark. And to think we allegedly paid them 10m compensation to get this guy into the dugout.

The circle of life, or death in this case, will be complete come 10pm tomorrow night.

I’d take any trophy at the moment

 

[Gaffa]

I don't understand why any Evertonian would not care or want to win this game.
We are Home to Watford for a place in the Quarter Finals of the domestic league cup. If we win we can face one of Oxford, Sunderland, Crawley or Colchester. Let people dream a little rather than having daily moans and groans and being negative.

We will go very strong, as per Lincoln and Sheffield. I believe the board have told Silva to go all out. With no Bernard I think he will bring DCL in and move Rich wide. All these talking about not caring and changing, look at the Lincoln and Sheffield line ups. Having got to the last 16, we will 100% go for this.
Watford will not play their first team, they are in a mess at the bottom and have a home game Saturday followed by Burnley and Norwich. They will rotate and we will win this game. I am under no illusion we will probably draw City or Liverpool away, but let us all dream for a few days rather than writing the cup off. Its a long way till the 3rd round of the FA Cup

Stupid comment. Don't go to Wembley if we get there then

 

[Hickson9]

Massive match this.

Keep the rotation to a minimum. Full strength side.

Then pray for a victory followed by an easy draw.

Pickford
Coleman Keane Mina DIgne
Gomes Davies
Walcott Iwobi Richarlison
Calvert-Lewin​

 

[Igrok]

Everton will definitely cheer up Watford s fans...

 

[Kirkles]

We can only beat teams that start with the letter 'W' so we should be ok.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Keep Iwobi in the 10 and Davies alongside Gomes, Holgate deserves another start, move Richarlison to the left and for god’s sake start Kean
