Couldn't lay a glove on them - trying to walk the ball into the net

I agree with your assertion and for many teams there is a "European hangover" which can be exploited to our benefit. There are a couple of provisos; that we ourselves stay clear of injuries (as we still have a relatively thin squad in certain positions) and that the certain teams have the squad...

We'll have these on toast

Doesn't fit the narrative ditto the denied penalty - they want to tell us that we weren't in the game.

Haarland is an outstanding striker and his goal was great and I hoped rather than expected to get anything from the game BUT if Tarks versus Leeds was a penalty then so was today's. Tarks doesn't make his body bigger where Silva's does exactly that - they just change the interpretation of the...

Centre forwards are the difference

If Tarks was a penalty then so was that - cheating premier league

It's all going to plan apart from Beto's misses (but that is priced in) - keep them out Blues (and sucker punch them). Ndiaye has been excellent - he's a diamond

In the absence of Grealish, it's the perfect set up for Moyes, dig in, work hard and a breakaway Beto winner! 1-0 to the Blues

I get you but there is absolutely no guarantee of point.

100% on Moyes' selection Another season and another dismal performance in the League Cup. They had lost FIVE IN A ROW - ZERO POINTS and we just couldn't be arsed to put out a team. Absolutely embarrassing Everton We NEVER learn - great lesson in how to puncture any optimism.

Let's play our strongest side and if we get into a good position then bring on plenty of the subs. Remember what happened to Man Utd last round; were embarrassed and a national laughing stock. We need to start winning something and happy to start with the Carabao League Cup

I know we lost but we have the makings of a decent side. To have so many players that are comfortable on the ball is refreshing after the last half dozen years - integrate Barry into the team and get Branners back and we can take a European place this season.

Three minutes is indeed corrupt - six second half subsitutions = 6 x 30second = 3 minutes. Add in having to retake free kicks. Listening to the commentary and watching from home and there were several times were throw ins to Everton went to Reds, balls kept in and should have been a corner...

Getting him back will be massive as he does well against Salah and allows Garner back into the middle. Gives us a much better chance of a result
