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

[GrandOldTeam]

I think this is the biggest game of Ancelotti's Everton so far.

Nobody needs me to tell them how absolutely desperate we are for a trophy.

Beat Man Utd

Then we get Stoke in the semis

Then Brentford in the final.

And lose on pens.

....I’m sure I heard United have scored at least 3 goals in their last 6 PL away games, which is a new top flight record. It demonstrates they are particularly a major threat away from home.

Its a great opportunity for us, keep them to less than 2 we should at least get to a penalty shoot-out.

If level after 90 is it straight to pens still?

While we are at it, remember Games end at 90 mins then pens

Rather this was at Old Trafford, they have been crap at home this season

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

Thats why Ancelotti gets the big bucks.
Rest too many and that's the Semi gone
Beat Untied though and you can rest Vs Sheff U. for the semi
Best 11 (whatever that actually is) for semi

Yeah you're right Eggs, 3-2 v Sheff utd, 3-1 v West Ham, 3-2 v Southampton, 3-1 v us, 4-1 v Newcastle and 3-2 v Brighton.

Bonus is though we get to have 2,000 fans at Goodison.

Which I think will make all the difference Lou just to help the lads ge tober the line when they are flagging.

We shouldn’t change a winning formula. We need a trophy and we are in a very good position to win one right now so I wouldn’t change much

Scored at least 3 in 8 of their last 10 away league games, scored 2 goals in the other 2- its also a prem record winning those 6 away games were a team has came from behind to win

I think James will start for us. Back four has to stay the same and this will not be a popular shout but Davies has to start ahead of Gomes. While Gomes is better at footie the main job of someone in central midfield is without the ball and to be honest I think Gomes is one of the very worst in the league without the ball, we will get overrun if he plays. Holgate will not be played there it’s not the game to experiment.
For them I just hope this is the game they choose to rest Fernandes. We can handle of if their other threats but him
