I see our brave lionhearts have made us all proud with that tremendous win. What a wonderful team we support...so likeable!

He probably thinks the wide player he's up against is going to smash it into him like he usually does when he gets a crossing chance.

...Seamus needs to work on his crosses...

 

[marcus]

We won...

To the next round...

That's it matty. Keep the plotters in solidarity confinement. Cant have them escaping from the Matty gulag.

love it mate lol

Anyone remember the 1-0 with Woking when they brought down billions of fans...today had the feel of that (minus the fans). they wanted it more, in a way shows how Everton is still Everton.

My first ever live match that!

joint 4th

Goal difference matters Matty, so because of goal difference we are 7th.

 

[Mitch Ward's Minder]

That was a shadow of his former self today. I think he should have been replaced last summer. Now we need two new right backs.

Was thinking the same, he seemed too reserved. Too many times it looked like he was having a mental battle with himself, for example if there was a ball to be chased or a player to close down it was almost like his instinct was to attack it like the Seamus of old, but then he’d check himself and stop like almost telling himself “lad your legs are gone, you’re gonna get done ‘ere just back off”. Sad to see, but today we needed the Coleman of 2011 to give their fullback a hard game

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I'm pissed, so chill out and enjoy.....

My first ever live match that!

I remember been at that game, packed to the rafters and the attendance came up as 34000 it was more like 44000. To be fair I thought todays game was more entertaining

 

[Martin Alvito]

Teams that win silverware find ways to win even when they're playing like hot garbage.

So there's that.

 

[arbok]

Honestly - this was like watching a loss. Even after Doucoure scored it was like - we deserved to lose.

Fair play to Rotherham - looked solid and actually tried to play football.

 

[2xpetes]

Rotherham embarrassing our Millionaires.

 

[Gaffa]

We won...

We move on...

To the next round...

this. It was rubbish, we are missing the crowd. I see the 3rd and 4th rounds as just get through and then we can get excited and then we can get disappointed

I am so certain of being disappointed that Everton no longer gets me excited...Football clubs at the top level are mere modern-day mercenaries...I care not for them as they care less for me.

They care nothing for you. Not a sausage. Sad indictment on the modern game and clubs, that is not and are not the same as we grew up loving.
