Match Thread Everton v Lincoln City, FA Cup, Preview, Report & MotM Poll

[Joey66]

I used to play as a goalkeeper when I was younger, right through being 19/20 when I packed in footy.

Yes, it's true, but if you've got five players who are all bigger than you running back at goal, then you're not always going to be confident of getting hands on it.

It's the defender's job to clear that. Zouma never has his man marked from the start.

So
I take it you let a lot of goals in as a former centre half - I always expected my keeper to collect anything in the 6 yard box yes I would block ant strikers run, but if your keeper has bostick on his studs .........
He would have got boll@ked...ok

I know exactly who it was and how bad we were on the whole mate but I'm trying to shed some positive light after a dismal few months of being a toffee. Next round and all that haha

I'm with you in so much as I thought lookman wasn't bad today, but I reckon Walcott would have done ok against Lincoln as well

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Phew

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Just a shame he's got Digne ahead of him.

I’m not dead against the shouts for him to do a Zanetti and play CM for us. He certainly has the passing ability and can tackle.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Yep, no leaders in the side.

I thought someone had died when the first goal went in. Team seemed ‘not bothered’. Maybe it was something else?

 

[Bluewolf]

They’re in league 2 mate and we’ve been performing incredibly below par.

Up until there first goal we weren't. After that we made it look hard but let's not rewrite history.

All's I'm saying is I'm glad we didn't put out the b team.

I just watched Marco’s post match interview. He looks and sounds like a torture victim from a gulag. His eyes have a terrified haunted-ness in them. His sentences don’t make any sense.
Truly, Marco had been Evertonised.
Just a matter of time now before the inevitable...

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Baines, JJK, Bernard and Lookman are the only players worthy of a mention in that game. Defending from set pieces and speed in attack are atrocious. I went for Leighton Baines for MoM because he did well for an OAP lollol.
Just happy to hear the final whistle to be honest.

I've always been of the thought that how the players react to things on the pitch reflect the manager, maybe Silva just isn't one of those get into them managers, and isn't too worried about having leaders in the team.

Saw an unsettling amount of male earrings outside the ground today

He was like that after Leicester as well, just talked gibberish, and didn't know what day it was. Hopefully he turns it around.

 

[longers]

I didn’t see anything from him that suggested he could be a starter for us in the premier league , I don’t think he’s a bad player but he’s a notch below us.

Mate, we're at the same level as the likes of Brighton. Lookman is more than good enough for some dross mid table club.

A ball coming into a keepers 6 yard box (IMO) he should be coming out to claim it, whether he has defenders in front of him or not, and if needs be he goes right through whoever is standing in his way.

That sounds worryingly like how Martinez went but he had at least a season and a half before the gibberish started.

His pre match was the same. I heard Pelligrini earlier on TV and he was as incoherent. Must be a mid table ailment !!
