Match Thread Fleetwood Town v Everton, Wednesday 23rd September, 7.45pm

[Eggs]

...Nkounkou so impressive. Brands has unearthed a real diamond (or as @davek says, Ancelotti has unearthed a diamond).

Terrific in the top third and a genuine option to Digne.

 

[Bluerover]

Nkoounkou is flying. Will someone cop on and meet his excellent crosses.

I don't think I've seen a half of football as one sided as this. Credit to their motivation and commitment.

Kenny looks average

Niels is a footballer like, really direct,has the fullback panicking and not knowing whether to stay with Richie or follow him.

 

[GT77]

I don't like Delph. But he does have a lot more to offer than Davies.

He's got a functional pair of man-shoulders in the challenge, so there's at least that.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Where did we get him from and how much

Marseille and 250k

 

[Parker]

This is as good a cup performance as I've seen from us. Don't think they've been in our half for longer than 10 seconds.

 

[TGW89]

Haha - what a pass by Digne.... full on Stracq

 

[BlueStevie35]

Said it last week and it’s being justified again tonight but that LB position is secure for years now, once Lucas goes, Niels will step in with ease

 

[Nymzee]

Nkounkou on the bench in the league for LB and LW

 

[Tipp blue]

When was the last time 2 different players scored hattricks in consecutive competitive games?

 

[DanB90]

I don't think I've seen a half of football as one sided as this. Credit to their motivation and commitment.

I always worry we’re gonna get complacent in these kind of games, but there’s been none of that tonight.
Professional performance.

 

[Parker]

Marseille and 250k

Brands should be locked up for that.

 

[KaiserEFC]

This is why you play a good portion of your first team in the cup. We can take them off and blood some youngsters for the second half now!
