Match Thread Wolves 2-0 Everton (Carabao Cup 3rd Round) 23rd September 19:45

They have tonnes of European games . We don't

The idea we should rest players for league games in winnable Cup ties is just nonsense

We all knew that team couldn't win that game. The manager just picked a team that didn't respect the tournament and the opposition. That's just not good enough.

I expected us to still win with that 11. Apart from Barry, they are all experienced PL players who have started many games for us. People are acting like they have never met each other as if they won’t be able to have any cohesion.

People also keep talking about how much better our squad depth is. However Coleman, Tim and McNeil have shown they aren’t up to scratch now so the squad is clearly still a work in progress.

Tonnes of European games? They’ve played 1 so far. By the time the fa cup comes round, they are into knockouts.

Calls of moyes out are mental. West ham styleee

When I seen the teamsheet I thought he's gone for 352 Coleman right back and Mcniel left wing back which would of made more sense than that crap!

What have those players shown to expect them to win away at a top flight ground ?

If only that was in Latin it could be the new club motto.......

semper proximo anno

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

Positives,
Minutes for Dibling Alcaraz McNeil Coleman Travers who haven't had much game time.

Well played to Wolves for taking their chances in a poor match.

Expected more given the squad depth we have now.

Must do better.

I love Ndiaye as a player but he was abysmal tonight when he came on , poor touch and so many flawed decisions. I wonder if he expected to not play tonight

Yep that was a shocking performance from him when he came on

 

[Leylo]

Also of Grealish/Pickford/ndiaye get injured tonight v wolves reserves people will moan. Just scroll accept it for what it is. Almost a reserve team trophy

Na it's a trophy mate and we're out of it only one left to go for and that's another year. That's why I go the game for the hope of winning something.... What's the point otherwise

I think this is the best illustration of how the players are on the hook for tonight too. That lazy control in the box just unacceptable for his quality. Heads weren’t in it.

He made some good runs but lacked the end product, with most of his shots and crosses ending up in the stand behind the goal. Grealish played well in the sense that he won at least five free kicks but he did not end up in a decent shooting position.

For me, Garner was our best player tonight. He fought well and tried to get into dangerous positions. Moyes is the person to blame for tonight's defeat, due to his underwhelming team selection despite commenting on the need to treat the League Cup with the seriousness which it deserves.

Exactly this…..

we just forgetting the 2nd half of last season? We won 5 of 9 away from home.

Alcaraz and Mcneil played decent amounts during that time. Coleman has had plenty of wins away at top flight grounds.

Everyone’s shouting for Dibling to get games but Moyes clearly doesn’t think he is ready and from tonight he doesn’t look it.

 

[crusade]

I won't be going to any home FA Cup matches (if we get any this season).

If the club and manager don't care about the cups then why should we? No point wasting everybody's time.

 

[Dundee mifflin]

They're rubbish.

We win.

The end.

Three handled p..s pot and all that Dave

 

[Jebus_lives]

Every save he made put the ball into a dangerous position. Can’t figure out why he was on his backside for the first or his positioning for the second which Pickford would have swept away without concern.

He isn’t the reason for tonight’s performance but he’s nowhere near the right level to play.

He'd just made a save.
