Match Thread Everton Vs Man Utd - FA Cup Semi Final - Wembley - Sat 23rd April - KO 17:15

[BlueLlama]

I thought Gibson played well

He struggled first half and was god in teh 2nd. Besides it was him or Osman.

 

[ToffeeTim]

If I hear his sacked tonight, that will be as good as an FA cup win. Van Gaul has just annoyed me blaming the ref, also Saha milking it, he should remember all the wages we paid him when he never hardly played for us through injury.

I hate Martinez but I don't even care.

This was our chance and it's gone. Heartbroken.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Compare that to the RS v Dortmund and how they kill a team off on the ropes, we have a weak mentality.

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Why play Gibson though???

I dislike him meself, but he didn't put a foot wrong in fairness.

 

[tsubaki]

This. He needs proper management and competition for his place, hopefully Dowell in a season or two but Ross needs a quality no.10 to compete with.

Put Dowell in there now, same with some of the other youth players.

Why play Gibson though???

Only player who'd pass it forward at times

 

[Armchair Dave]

I'm taking heart in the fact the players still have fight in them despite el clowno's best efforts. Oh and can't wait for Rom's big move. Will be queuing up for him won't they...

 

[Blue & White]

Much better effort second half.

Just feel deflated now.

 

[II McColl II]

2nd half was everton 1st half was martinez tactics

Every player stepped up a level when they were allowed to press, go forward quicker, forget about trying to keep the ball and was proud to see us show some fight for a change.

Onwards and upwards though, hopefully a new manager in at the end of the season with unsy and a few others controlling the final 5 games

If we had binned bobby off Thursday we might of played like the last 15 all game - thanks bill you anti-evertonian...

 

[Ollie d]

Where's that second half been for the last half of the season?

That last half hour was like watching Everton again,not the sterile robots of recent.

 

[Zezti]

Just gonna cry and look at Amanda Holden pics

 

[orly]

I dont think Clev was awful. But McCarthy is very average. Doesn't really offer much

You're watching different game then.

Clev was absolutely dog [Poor language removed], summed up by the useless cross at the death with everyone in the box

He'll be rightly jibbed off with this utter [Poor language removed] fraud manager we've got

Good [Poor language removed] riddance

 

[TheBigIguana]

I dislike him meself, but he didn't put a foot wrong in fairness.

Rather keep Gibson around and pray he stays healthy than McCarthy

 

[Professor Toffee]

He struggled first half and was god in teh 2nd. Besides it was him or Osman.

I thought he was good but maybe not God

 

[haff85]

Good second half, battling and some good build up play, leaking a goal so late is hard to take,but time for a new manager and start again next season.
