Match Thread Everton v Man.United Carabao Cup - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Saint Domingo]

Will be difficult, especially if Fernandes and Pogba start together in midfield. Could really do with James back. Allan is a massive miss.

I'm pretty sure that the semi finals are now only one game Mac and probably the first team drawn out of the hat are at home.

Correct mate and apologies @Gaffa as I thought it was a 2 legged semi final still.

what a bizarre post. Get to the QF of the cup and throw the game? Are you for real. Although we sit second we aren’t finishing top 4. This is a cup, two games from Wembley, this is the biggest match of the season fact

I want to win a cup just as much as anyone. So I don’t think we should rest players for this game we desperately need silverware.

That said how do you no we aren’t finishing top 4. No other team are playing great. we have just beat Chelsea Leicester an arsenal in a row. With a few of are best players out injured. We did have a little bad patch but every team is going to have them this season.

I don’t think we will end up in the top 4 when the season is done. but am not just going to act like it’s a giving we won’t because playing the way we are we could do it.

Yep I can see it now "great pointing by Bernard there as he shuffles Tom Davies back into position. Who would have thought this bitesize Brazilian had always wanted to base his game on Phil Neville".

Depends a lot on what team United play. If Fernandes doesn't play then I like our chances.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Unsure on this game. Depends who goes through as we are the last of the ties. Personally I’d rest players for this as the league is far far more important. Getting top 4 would be huge and so much more money financially.
Winning a trophy would be great but I’d rather finish top 4

Interesting to see if he plays James against these

Stick with the starting 11from yesterday
Edit; with 9 on the bench find him a seat instead of Lossl

Players have to be rotated this time of the Season.

This is a chance at a cup, needs must, rotate...if you really must Vs Sheff U.

Yes just saying like, it seems some think we can keep playing the same team.

SU games more important IMO, real chance to cement a top 4 position.
Rest players against Utd as I imagine they will as well
