Match Thread FA Cup, Hull City v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[roy vernon]

i Think, when you look at the paucity of the opposition today, the amount of injuries Leicester have at present and the paucity of the opposition next weekend, this really is a big week for Benitez.

Win all three, as he probably should, then he buys himself another few weeks, lose to Leicester and Win today and at Norwich, then the pressure is definitely still on. Lose today and either or both of Leicester and Norwich, then I don’t believe he will be Everton manager after Monday week.

They are struggling in the championship Everton are going to upset the BBC and beat these comfortably

 

[Thomasc]

Who is coming to us tho? Realistically we're no longer an attractive club for a decent manger. We don't need another payday manager.

Everton pay enough for it to be an attractive proposition for many managers Dr James

Poor city...

 

[Dr James Baxter]

Today is not a must win, its simply an easy win,. Hull deffo need to concentrate on their league position, they will play a weakened team. Our weakened team beats theirs.

I get that mate but I've said it before, we need a long term man, a project builder. Sometimes that's not always the best manager around right now. My worry is can this board identify one?

On their record of the recent years, possibly not.
Problem was Ancelotti was that man, but he shafted them.
So, I guess that changed any direction they were trying to go in.
The only thing I am sure of, that’s certainly not Benitez.

Hoping they don't wait to go one (maybe two) behind before realizing they're in a footy match today. Application from the first please, mercurial blues.

 

[bluelife]

We booing any players when they come on the pitch today then?

 

[Mashtray]

Surely Vitali starts

He was always on a sticky wicket because he came from the RS he's a good manager for me but its not working. Luca not playing is showing how he just doesn't get us.

 

[Bluestar]

Does anyone know who has and has not travelled today?

DCL?
Richarlison?
Townsend?
Simms?

We are in agreement sir.
I was willing to give him a chance, but he’s an absolute disaster.

I'm a Dr and I don't use words like paucity... ?
