Everton v Norwich City - EFL Cup - Tuesday 20 Sept, 19.45 KO

[The Esk]

I guess tonight shows our complete reliance on Barry and Lukaku at each end of the pitch..

 

[applecrumble]

The fume on here is something to behold, still that pales into comparison to the Norwich back 4 who will be pissing themselves laughing at our strike force.

 

[hktoffee]

The U23 might play better than this.

Davies and Dowell.

 

[MartyMcFly]

We need to play Gerry as a 10, the only player who can play a through ball in our whole team

 

[Dozbik]

Yikes, Valencia is one useless player... every single time he gets the ball he starts moving the opposite direction from the goal... can someone please explain that to me?!

 

[nsno-chris]

Players will get a rocket up their are and it'll be a while before this happens again

Stop ye crying

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Bournemouth are going to extra time. Most important this evening.

 

[deipnosophist]

lol...you were quick mate...I corrected it pretty much immediately lol

 

[tommye]

First Brangelina , and now this. I can't cope

 

[Sy-]

On the plus side, there will be no 'phenomenal effort' nonsense, I expect Koeman to read those players the riot act.

I would hope not, it's Koeman who's ballsed this up, they have made the pitch as big as they can from minute 1 and doubled up on our wingers. Tactically he's not reacted at all.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Somebody ban this clown.

What because I fume at getting beat at home to a lower league teams reserves?

 

[Tubey]

A cup is a cup mate. Don't think it is right for us to be sticking our noses up at either one when we have won nothing for 2 decades on the trot.

It's about priorities though. We haven't got the squad depth (and we haven't had since the 80s) to compete on three fronts, so you jettison the one of least worth.

Problem is this loss isn't because we've played the ressies - it's because we've put out a "strong" team and been awful.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Excellent fume once again
Like Roberto never left

 

[Nil Satis Niasse Optimum]

At least we know what to do if Lukaku isn't available... play about 6 in defence and pray for a nil nil.

Shambles.

Disappointing but no qualms with the line up, don't want to knacker Barry by playing him, not as if it's the u21's out there either, should have been enough to beat these
