Match Thread Everton v Brentford - Up for the Cup Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[COYBL25]

Fixed.

You took the bait

 

[davek]

Yeah that happens when you don't have a fat, kopite cretin not giving the players instructions

...or a cone layer.

 

[Kantareller]

Nice one! We were a bit open, esp when they got the pen... but a very positive performance and good watch

A different team

More of the same Tuesday and maybe the end of the season won't be such a struggle, feels good tonight, enjoy it blues

 

[Houghty19]

Honestly chuffed to bits with that

We look like a football team again

Exactly this we actually looked like a football team again

Let's play how many times he can mention the cone layer in an evening.

I hate getting my hopes up but Tuesday can't come soon enough...

Not to take anything away from todays game. But we’re getting City in the next round aren’t we?

Utd is out. One of Spurs or Brighton will be out, they play each other. Norwich just knocked Wolves out. Southampton is going to extra time with Coventry. Arsenal, Villa, Leeds are out.

Of the 15 sides above us in the PL table at the moment (FFS), 6 are already out, 1 to be knocked out later today, 1 still playing now, 2 more playing tomorrow.

4 Championship or lower sides already through Will definitely be 2 more. Coventry in extra time right now. Norwich is through.

A lot of winnable games in that hat.

@COYBL25 we're on two.

 

[Tipp blue]

Unless you're playing it to Rondon and Iwobi.

Rondon bagged a hattrick a few days ago for Venezuela he can score it's just our midfield haven't created anything noteworthy in the way of chances for our forwards in quite some time.
All players deserve another crack at it under new management.

 

[Toffeepot]

To be fair I creamed my jeans after our last manager’s first few games so am guilty of premature expectations on more than a few occasions.

None of those games were as convincing as that...We looked quality today

 

[Amw79]

I’m out all day with pre arranged plans, had to give away my ticket and didn’t catch any of the game at all.

Can anyone give a succinct summary? Performance? Tactics? Crowd?

 

[Frenk]

Bloody hell, my weekend is not ruined.
