Match Thread Everton v Salford City, Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Nkounkou man of the match for me with Gordon a close second. Some pace down that left hand side tonight.

Worried about Kean though, I thought he would shine against these and bag a few goals to boost his confidence. I know he hit the woodwork twice and slotted the pen, but, his control and decision making looked suspect.

he nearly bagged a few. So

Gordon, Kean, Sigurdsson and Nkounkou should all retain their places for Fleetwood. Would look to add a few more of our first team to that game. Richy for Walcott, Doucoure for Davies/Bernard.

Yeah I think we need a stronger side next week. 5 or 6 regulars will have to play for me with rest rotated.

He should have bagged a few Matty, that’s the point, I like the lad, and have since we signed him, but, he doesn’t play like a player who is enjoying his game.

Yep just confirm for me. This is Everton isn't it?

Yep........that's our Everton. Another clean sheet on Saturday v W B A coming up. I'm confident. wba won't get the ball off our new midfield.
And of course a few goals for us. Three will do.....maybe four......Up The Toffees

He and Brainthwaite look real gems to me.

Branthwaite is a bit ‘under the radar’ I reckon.....very, very solid for his age, strong, calm and seemingly very intelligent read",er of the game based on his positioning etc. A bit early to make comparisons for sure, but he has got a feel of De Ligt about him to me.
Fingers crossed the injury isn’t too bad.

 

[NathDogg]

They've literally just signed him from St Mirren and he's pushing 30. Not sure he's the answer tbh

Maybe not, but I think I'd still have him over t rex arms.

Is this the closest two rounds of a cup have been before?

Though Bernard and Davies played well to be honest, theyve bossed it.

Bernard did well , I dont think he will go.
Davies for me just isnt good enough. He did only okay tonite I thought. Did what he needed to but didnt do as well as he could or should for me. In some ways its a pity this wasnt a Championship side so we could see more of the players worth.

bin to work didn't see any of the match is it worth a watch like??

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Bit of an odd title assessment given the scoreline, # shots and the woodwork hits

Everton complete Carabao Cup win over Salford but defensive injury problems grow

The Merseysiders may head into this weekend with only two fit centre-halves

Even Sky think that’s nonsense so it really must be!

Do you not find interesting that every manager we’ve had seems to rate him and see him as a player of worth. They all see something not always visible to us admittedly often.

I don’t mind Tom, he has a role here, low cost, could improve can contribute at a pinch. No downside really.

Bernards more of a concern if I’m honest, high cost for low contribution, I liked though that he seemed up for it tonight though.

que ha pasado con Theo Walcott? no es el mismo que vi en el Arsenal, ojalá mejore este gran jugador

Blink and you'll miss it..........
Tune in in about six weeks and we should be in the semi final.......hopefully.

 

[ste d' indica]

Yeah, proper struggled tonight! Close game.

Yeah... well ... you can make stats look like whatever you want.... although its difficult to make those stats look like anything other than we were extremely comfortable

Think if Gordon keeps up performances like that he may start before Andre Gomes. He's very direct, very quick and a lovely left peg

Pretty certain he's right footed too
