The more I think about it the more I start to believe Carlo will outwit OGS this time around, after learning from our last encounter.

Behave.
City are our competition this season. Beat them and it's a 6 point swing pretty much.

Yeah butthe cup game is more important

 

[ForeverBlue92]

The only question re James is if he's fit. Personally he and most of our squad) should be rested v City. That is the game we should sacrifice to cover the bases. No point jeapardising winnable games for one that is a lot less winnable.

Whats crazy is im much more confident of beating City than Sheff Utd!

May I ask your thinking behind this?

I would back a heavily rotated Everton to beat Sheffield, but I don't think our current best starting 11 (ie missing Digne and Allan) has much of a chance against City.

More so Goodison under the lights think RS aside we can beat anyone on our day if we defend well enough and take our chances.

Sheff Utd are a typical grim 8pm away day kick off with the players still hungover from Christmas Day and Sheff Utd have not won a game yet and ex kopite Brewster is yet to score a goal for them yet - enters Everton...

Has Brewster scored his first goal their yet? If not he's Danny Ingsing it.

Pickford

Doucoure Davies
Iwobi James Richarlison

Think he will go for a bit more pace in defense, although Coleman played poorly against United last time (Shaw will be out though).

James will come in for Siggurdson.

Wouldn't be shocked if Bernard got a go for Iwobi as part of a rotation after playing well against these last time out.

Nope nailed on to score against us

Not even gonna get angry if we lose as its the most Everton thing possible

 

[FTY]

Imagine we ended up winning this cup. Cry my eyes out I reckon

 

[Furey1878]

Imagine we ended up winning any trophy of any kind sometime before I die. Cry my eyes out I reckon

Little amendment there, pal

only to find that on Feb 28, London is still in Tier 4 and there is no crowd allowed, pubs closed and a long train journey back... that would be Everton to get to a final in those circumstances.

I’d love to see us lift some silver, hoping Carlo can rouse the troops and get us to the next round. We’re as good as any team left in it and have a real chance of going all the way. Wednesday is a tough one a win into the semis and we are serious dark horses
