Match Thread Everton v Tottenham Hotspur.- FA Cup 5th Rd.- Wednesday - 8.15pm

[Bullens Rd]

Well Carlo knows very well now what the players need to be concentrating on in training this week. That defending for the first 90 minutes was truly horrific and we didn't learn after the first goal, or second, or third...

What price was that win ?

Hope DCLand Digne are ok for the weekend

Sometimes you get big scores in FA Cup games and it's because you've got shadow teams out there, they weren't shadow teams, they were the best teams to be stuck out there and they gave us their best.

It was a classic of a FA Cup game, I loved every single second of it. If you could see that sort of application and effort from the players every single week it would be brilliant. It's almost impossible when you play this amount of games.

I am stunned that they've produced this amount of quality - some people might talk about the lack of defending it's actually about the quality of the goals, the creation and the effort.

What a fabulous cup tie, brilliant for the FA Cup - what a joy to be here tonight.

Hats off to the whole team. Keane, Davies, Siggy and Douc all magnificent.
Despite letting in 4 goals, i have to say Robin Olsson should take credit for how he played today. Important saves, reliable enoough when defending, took time to slow things down.
Godfrey absolutely brilliant today as well. Tired towards the end but made a myriad of brilliant interceptions and tackles.
Coleman also, immense when he came on. Compare him to what Iwobi would have accomplished in the same situations.

Hard to pick a MOTM really. I love this team!

To be fair Coleman helped out quite a lot he ran a lot tonight and looked quite quick.

Oh Lordy that wasnt any good for my health,brilliant and awful at the same time,but a couple of years ago that would have ended up with a comfortable Spurs win,difficult choice for MOTM but Doucourè just about shaded it,he was magnificent tonight

So...1984 we won the cup.
1966 we won the cup.
1926....ok, we avoided relegation at the end of the 26/27 season by one place.
But as we aren’t anywhere near a relegation battle now, it must mean that we will win the cup this year??

 

[laudo9]

Just need a goalie now and learn how to deal with corners and we've cracked it!

 

[TyphooToffee]

Surprised Hoddle didn't give MOM to a spurs player

Who did he give it to?

 

[Bluerover]

I went to bed. No BT and decided to follow on GOT. I feel sleep coming.......

Slept soundly and woke to find us winning 5-4!

Davies gets MOTM for me. Never seemed to slow down, or drop out of the game. Will probably be totally knackered for the Fulham game - as will a fair few others.
