Match Thread Everton v Tottenham Hotspur.- FA Cup 5th Rd.- Wednesday - 8.15pm

Be nice if we didn't exit the competition as soon as we face someone half-decent.

Well he played there and looked terrible. Played left back and looked fine. Could be tried again I suppose, but he's no long-term right back.

Surely he’s be better at right back than left as he’s right footed. He could use his pace down the flank to bang crosses over where at left back he had to cut back in. Those first couple of games when he did play at rob you can put down to teething problems. He’s more settled now

Spurs never turn up at Anfield but love Goodison, Kane is back so hopefully we can overcome all this plus our poor home form and build on our last 2 good results and win tonight

 

[Death]

Whens the draw for the quarter on

It's taken au gratin that they have some good players but when the chips are down we need to be scalloping their backsides. Come on Everton, roast the Spuds and mash them into smithereens.

Warm the taxi up, I'll grab me jacket!

Fixed

Did he play for Bournemouth yesterday?

Re read what you wrote and think again..

 

[GwladysBlue]

Most of the times we get knocked out of cups seems to come at Goodison lately, let’s change that tonight and actually go through.

Tomorrow night.

Of course we played this crowd, in our 1995 cup run. We were underdogs but we destroyed them. Something similar tonight would be nice. But i couldn't care less how we win, as long as we do win.

In place of Mina they might of but Mina has been doing ok, besides players can and do move around, don't forget for example we bought Ratcliffe to play full back originally....etc

....never knew we bought Ratcliffe, always thought he came through the Academy. Who did we buy Ratcliffe the LB from?

 

[Cork Evertonian]

Spurs’ fans seem confident. No surprise given their record against us, like.

It's Spurs though, and arguably they are historically bigger bottlers than us.

....never knew we bought Ratcliffe, always thought he was an Academy prospect.

Yeah he was actually, however it's just one example of how players destiny can change. I dont believe for a seconds Brands and Carlo will base a players future on solely what he did at a relegated Norwich City

...oh dear. Very interesting insight, I suppose they bought Branthwaite from Carlisle to play on the wing and King from Bournmouth to play in defence.

Home field advantage also seems a thing of the past

99% certain ... arrived in 77 as an apprentice.
