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

[Mikey O]

Fantastic result; effort, determination and a bit of class to win it.

Times are changing - Carlo Magnifico

Bernard comes on as a sub and scores the winning goal. I love him.

Also want to say that as under appreciated as he is, and as unnoticed as his contributions will have no doubt been again, he was brilliant today at calmly keeping possession whenever the ball came to him and moving it on.
He’s not strong out of possession but he needs more game time, especially when James isn’t playing. Why on earth we would even be considering getting rid of him just baffles me!

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??

well spurs wont win it this year, it was there year going off experts as they win it in the year ending 1 dont they, or that's what ive always heard lol

Have you got one in royal blue?

 

[Sassy Colombian]

didnt watch second half of extra time. too intense. was obvious spurs would win.

The whole match was intense but I like to torture myself like that and I can't ever stop watching, not matter what lol

 

[Loz]

Fair enough. But his cowardice at corners, where he turns his back on the ball and doesn't even jump, let him down. Good assist though.

I can’t argue with that mate. He does bottle things defensively.

Wow,Carlo is brewing something special here with the team spirit we never seem to lose heart we just need leas mad moments in defence ,the chances we created and took with some serious players missing gives me major cause of hope ! Brilliant to get through a game like this and gives this squad more belief it can compete against top sides

 

[paulbefc]

What an absolute ballache for Spurs to go out after putting that much into it.

Hard lines.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I had a migraine during that entire game and it's now eased off considerably

I think if Everton actually won something I'd become invincible for a short period, like when Mario touches a Starman

35 years of torture has done me, haha

Everton's Gylfi Sigurdsson, speaking to BT Sport

It was too open ended, too many goals. Probably good to watch at home but fantastic to come back, we conceded three goals from corners/set pieces which is something we need to work on. But the spirit in the team to come back and eventually go through is fantastic.
I think we were better in the first 20-30 minutes and after our goal we came out a bit and had a 3-1 lead. Obviously we lost that but we had good spirit.
I can imagine it was fantastic to sit at home and watch the game but for our liking it was too open - but it was a fantastic cup game and great to still be in the competition,

On returning to his former club
Always special for me to play Tottenham, I love the club, love the players and staff here and it's nice to see everyone here again. But most importantly we're still in the competition."
