Match Thread Everton v Rotherham. Sat. 9th Jan, 2021. 12.00. FA Cup 3rd round

....remember UCD, we’re in the hat and that’s what matters.

MoM very difficult, I actually thought Mina made a big difference when he came on, as much with his attitude and leadership but I’ll go for Godfrey who was solid. Says lots when he takes over at LB from Digne to snuff out their main threat.

Move on.

That win is like pulling an ugly bird. The less said about it, the better.

@Ring master pretty much nailed it on Page 1

Its Everton mate, we know how bad they can be and how much hard work they make of it, went for 3-1 in the end - but lucky so much of that match and we only really started in 1st period of ET-Everton have not played well for weeks even in wins for me, Rotherham more than held their own today and can be proud of themselves considering they are 2nd bottom

Absolute shambles, got away with it today.... But alot of players have backed up what many think.

Nkounkou though, why is he not playing in the PL. Good interception tracking back at the end aswell.....

uuuuurrrrrnnnss

Made hard work of that, glad we’re through but it was a woeful performance against a team in the bottom 3 of the Championship who hadn’t played for 3 weeks

Good Performances - Olsen, Keane, Mina, Godfrey, Doucoure

Ok Performances - Bernard, Sigurdsson, Nkounkou, James, Digne

In The MF Bin - Coleman, Tosun, Davies, Gomes, Iwobi

Olsen MOTM for me

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Can't take anymore of Coleman,Wont be watching us if I see him in the starting 11, he's morphed into and horrific footballer.

And if anyone comes at me with the garbage of "oh he's been a great servant" "could of left for bigger things rubbish" I'll slap their letterbox with a wet fish.

Finished,Garbage,OUT!!!

What a display, what a performance. Gomes, typically dictating the Midfield, Rotheram couldn't get near him. Bernard, the Brazilian Lee Trundle, weaving inside and out of those Championship defenders, and Niels Nkounkou, playing like Patrick Viera on the wing. Brilliant, just Brilliant. Proud to be Blue, #COYB

Jokes apart I thought Nkounkou, played very well on the wing, his pace and skill, shone through our slow ponderous play at times.

What this match just proved was that our midfield personnel are no better, and at times worse, than a poor championship team. Time for marcel and the owners to finally get the message.

 

[Frenk]

I just want to forget that.

The Rotherham right back looked pretty decent.

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

I can only think of Gordon for MOTM out of the players that started, Nkounkou and Mina both in there aswell for their contribution late on, shows how bad a massive chunk of that game was

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Shocking performance. Sums everton on a bad day up. Result aside. Embarrassing.

After that showing the scramble for tickets for the he final for us will be immense
