Match Thread Everton v Them - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Wat Tyler]

BT banging on about liv injuries.

If their injuries are so bad, take a look at how many subs they could make (5), and how many we made (2)

?

To heavily buy into a cause or belief that is utterly doomed to failure and disgrace with complete disregard to all reasoning, evidence, and intuitions that clearly indicate such result.

Example. Everton looked amazing today, I think they’ll go to Arsenal and win.


But in all seriousness, today gave us all something to be proud of and to look forward to. COYB!!

Getting tired of the ‘What a performance’ Cup. 4 points against 6 trash teams is awful

If you genuinely can't see the progression from the spineless teams from the previous 5 years, you really should consider watching a different sport. Our attitude has completely changed and the improvement in numerous players is clear for everyone to see. Who knows what will happen but to deny that we'll heading in the right direction is simply disingenuous.

 

[Bonnie Blue]

Still think Milners foot was playing Coadey onside like

Yeah, I was shocked how that didn’t count

 

[HTCHERO]

Maupay covered the most ground today - 11.1k

Won't hold it against him but having that touch to let the RS keeper set was really poor. Gets a pass though as he kept at it.

 

[Runub]

I don't want to go overboard but i don't feel like we're that far away from a very respectable team. At least the effort and communication seems to very muchj improved

Agree. But need to start scoring goals but that will come

 

[Alan Whittle]

Belt them geordies today mate please

Every effort will be made.

 

[Muggins]

Can anything be done retrospectively ?View attachment 181884

That is disgusting.

He even tried to pick him up like it wasn’t that bad. Virgil knows he is a lucky boy. That was intentional, you don’t block shots like that sorry.

Think he’ll ever get a straight red???

No because the referee "dealt" with it. Nice way to protect themselves.

 

[BigBlueConk]

I'd love to play the first five teams again now.
We look a much better team already.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Have you told @davek yet?

He knows

 

[HTCHERO]

Still think Milners foot was playing Coadey onside like, but Vin Dijk for certain should have seen red for that horrid stomp on Onana, that was a pure ankle breaker and meant as well.

Thought for good periods today we had them looking absolutely ragged at the back, very rarely can I say that about a derby.

Nobody let the side down today for sure though. Great to see the quality in Gueyes play almost instantly - Onana is everything Mina isn't in terms of a proper player who'll play through knocks, the stuff about Coadey being a red - the way he celebrated he's bloody committed to us - mom Pickford for some outstanding stops, but what a game by Patterson - absolutely put all doubts to bed today did the lad

It was but Everton and Var

Voting Pickford motm makes it seem like we got battered.

Did more than enough to get a result! Growing with each game! Patterson again developing into a solid player

Not really. Allison would surely be way out in front in any voting for the shabite MOTM

 

[Davideeyore]

….I’m trying to not get carried away with Onana but what a mature display from such a young and inexperienced footballer in such a high profile match. As well as Davies played, you could tell Lampard was desperate to get Gueye onto the pitch. That’s his 3, Onana, Gana and Iwobi.

Sure, we rode our luck and Pickford was outstanding but there are signs. For older posters, it reminded me a little of the Maine Rd League Cup Final replay which the Reds narrowly won but we knew we had the makings of improvement.

Everybody contributed today, full-backs, CBs, every individual put a shift in but Onana gets my MoM. Telling when he was struggling after the dreadful tackle, two teammates were urging him to continue. I’m trying to not get carried away, but we could have a very special talent.

That's about it Eggs. Draws in 1984 against them and the Milk Cup final defeat (my first game after that against Southampton) is how I feel we are at right now. That's saying something.

Thought Gordon struggled a bit today.
