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

[Bullens Rd]

I'll happily finish 8th and win the FA Cup. NEA. I don't think we've got the squad to finish top 4.

8th is fine anyway, last thing we need is to be stuck in the Europa league of nonsense and having to keep or give contract extensions to the deadest of deadwood to cover the extra games.

 

[R.Reddington]

I’m very confident we brush these aside and move onto the next round...so there’s only one outcome: 0-3 defeat! Haha.

Cue an impending Bale masterclass...

I watched the Spurs - WBA game and Kane didn't look comfortable. He was favouring his injured foot and passed the ball into the net when he scored.

Let's win the Cup and finish top 4...wait, what?

 

[Preki]

1995 is too long to wait for a trophy. Big teams win things. We only have 3 shots and realistically our squad isn't good enough to win the league yet.
Can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to win a cup.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Strongest team possible for this one please Everton. Really feel we have a chance to win that damn thing this season

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Richarlison should be nowhere near the XI for this one.

Olsen

Holgate
Mina
Keane
Godfrey

Doucoure
Gomes
Davies

Iwobi
DCL
Digne

I think we can win this match, but winning the cup is a long stretch with Man City still in it.

He's definitely still injured. They'd be stupid to play him, but if they do, I'd get Gomes and Davies both to stand on his ankle in the first 5 minutes. It's worth a couple of yellow cards.

 

[Nymzee]

Not very confident for this.

I was hoping Kane wouldn’t be fit, I hope Jose rests him, if he plays I fear we will be out. Personally spurs are the team I dislike the most, I know it should be another but it’s family rivalry so please Everton get through this one.

 

[Caolam]

I fear that we have just too many big games. We don’t have the depth in the squad to rotate that many without a severe drop in performance. A good league position and a cup win might be beyond a squad of our ability.
Hopefully Carlo can work some magic.
