Match Thread Everton v Luton Town - Waffle, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Bez2k2k]

Just arrived home in Portsmouth. 500 mile round trip, 14 hour day. Not sure if it was worthwhile to be honest.

Fantastic mate, you deserve better. Amazing dedication. I was in work today, thank Christ or I would have been going.

Our attacking 'talents' today consisted of:
- A slow winger on loan from a Championship team
- A slow winger bought from a relegated team
- A former KFC employee
- A striker that hasn't scored in almost a third of a year
- A player constantly being loaned out by his parent team the way we did with the likes of Bolasie, Tosun, Niasse et al.

No real surprise we could only score from a goalkeeping howler.

I think you spelt DCL wrong.

Their BOTH garbage!

 

[Old Blue 2]

Just watched MOTD. Their first goal, apart from it being a goal kick and not a corner, and a blatant push on DCL when the corner came in...

What could’ve been.

Looks like Billy Elliot

Their goal in the 95th minute spoke volumes for me. Yes there was an element of luck to it but their player wanted it more.

It makes you wonder whether the thought of a long drive down to London for a midweek replay was playing on their minds?

Virginia probably the most devastated as that will be his last performance of the season now.

Fine - the bigger picture is that we didn't need two more mid week games in February.

Thought Beto was fouled all game, constantly being held back, and he should have had a penalty in the first half also. Their first goal should not have counted due to the push on DCL, who would have gotten to the ball first otherwise.

Think yourselves lucky. I got up early today to watch this. Then a couple of hours ago my 3 lads said they are coming round so we can all watch it together. So I have to sit through it again and pretend I don't know how it goes.

I played football for 30 years at a junior and intermediate level, I wasn’t very good much like the bulk of our current squad. I couldn’t dribble around a bin, I had no pace but I did have heart. I like to think I made up for my short comings by the fact I gave 100% every time I went on the pitch. I could tackle and I could see a pass, I knew these were my assets and I made sure I got myself into positions where I could influence play, when I couldn’t get a pass away I dug in and helped my team. After today you can write the rest for yourself, we don’t have the “dogs of war” we don’t have the “school of science “ we have what we have. Goal difference above relegation is a good season.

It was a blatant push. Can’t believe VAR viewed it and said it was fine.

.. and you probably drove close to port vales ground, where you could've seen an away win for the current league one leader's!

Fair play to you though
