[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

this is why you don't go to Tuesday raves before a game mate

gueye and lookman struggling towards the end I feel but they gave a whole lot in the first hour

Gana looked back to his very best tonight.

Absolutely awful. Especially 2nd half. Only time crowd sparked into life was when their lid ran on the pitch. Goals aside only players that had a clue were gana and Keane. No movement. Side to Side passing. Nothing through the middle. City will absolutely rinse us on Monday. Still we'll probably make the group stage. Woo hoo.

Aside from the "absolutely awful" bit, probably the fairest review of the game tonight, thoroughly agree with your points. Massive improvements needed if we want to make an impression in the league. Can see plenty of tight defeats with our huge lack of firepower up front, unfortunately.

 

[Paul E]

Like that Koeman hardly ever seems satisfied, at least publicly, in the post-game. And in this case, he's right. 2-0 is satisfactory but probably should have been more and effort in second half was not as intense.

Clean sheets, tho. Pickford and Keane are boss.

Apart from after the Anfield derby when he lost his mind. It's like all of our managers become hypnotised against that lot. We were awful that day and his team selection was all over the show

Hadjuk next game is behind closed doors due to crowd violence. *sigh*

Really could of done with a 3rd goal tonight. Our next run of games, this tie sandwiched in. They'll cause us problems over there. We'll defo have to score an away goal I feel.

Maybe a touch harsh but the 2nd half was cack

 

[McMagic]

Having Davies, DCL and Lookman on the pitch at the one time leaves us a bit to raw. First half we were superb. I like the type of team RK is developing though. Nice style and well balanced.

Love your Everton banner.

Really would feel a lot better had we got a third but oh well, if you want to win this competition you need to get through tough away days like that. We are looking very sharp now though so a full-strength side or anything close to it should get the job done, especially if we get the first goal.

Their fans are absolute mentalists, one of the worst behaved I've ever seen come to Goodison. Any Evertonians who go over there, please stay safe because blimey they looked a rough lot.

 

[Goat]

Ronnys fuming, what a man.

 

[james2805]

Did anyone else feel like Hadjuk maybe should have had a penalty during the 10th minute and that the ref may have been swayed not to give it as it would have put a dampener on the minute of applause?

How it came across to me.. Williams def left his leg in

 

[rbm]

We won't need a third. We'll be OK.

Season really steps into gear next game. We have poor form going in to that game. We need to find our feet quick.

Ronnys fuming, what a man.

He's spot on mate

It won't happen again let's hope mate

Koeman is learning and adapting and I think a year on will help

 

[Ring master]

We won't need a third. We'll be OK.

Knowing us,we will go 2-0 down in 2nd leg,then score to kill the game

I was sitting on the 19 bus on Walton lane when the bizzies herded them all past.I have never seen so many neanderthal looking far right thugs in one place before in my days made Millwall look like a ballet dance class.
