Well, that's that for another season.

Yet again a team that can only play 44 minutes at most in a game...45 minutes and we might have a chance but we always manage to concede at the end. No steel in this side and quite frankly if some idiot wants to pay £50 million for Lukaku I think we should grab it. World class forwards don't score zero out of half a dozen good chances and also miss a penalty. Not in this league or any other.

Why the hell is Martinez even allowing anyone else to take a penalty other than Baines. Mirallas tried it and failed. Lukaku has now missed two out of three and yet Baines is one of the best penalty takers in the premier league era. Sodding joke really. I'm going to have a look at the threads that discuss our next manager as this idiot Martinez must go now. Should have played Deulofeu or Mirallas from the start on that big wide Wembley pitch.

Proud of our efforts second half, but it's time to get rid of Barclay

He missed his last penalty and badly against the Hammers
Surprised Barkley didn't get the pen
At least Rom got the pen on target I suppose

Baines stopping being our penalty taker should never have been allowed to happen.

You mean one who's already had her back door shredded to ribbons? That's the problem with us, it all looks great and then out of nowhere a nasty surprise around the back.

Knowing our luck, Mosh will turn out to be a Bangkok chick boy.

21 years, and counting.

Just looking at the second half ,with the injuries we've had there is some decent players there, a bit more organisation and some passion thrown into them and we could be good. Stones shown how good he is and that he was willing to take charge with the ball,glad he still has the confidence for that .

It was a good save. Not a perfect pen...but not a bad one either. Barkley has zero confidence in himself...no way should he be taking penalties.

Horrible way to lose but it happens.

At least we showed some passion in the second half. Simply weren't good enough on the day.

Rom had a shocker. Showed he's not ready for a 'massive' club yet, IMO.

 

[TrixyStevens]

In no way should we be looking to get rid of Lukaku. Under a new manager with a different approach, perhaps a counter attacking style, and a couple of new players who can supply him in the right way and he will flourish. I'm not his biggest fan as he tends to have games like today more often than not but he is the best forward we have had in a long time and it's paramount that we keep him at least for another season.

 

[Elong]

Just realised it's 7.40 pm and I've done nothing today but watch us lose.

Anyone else waste an entire day on this?

Apart from the circa 30000 at Wembley obviously

At least it wasn't a 4am kick off for you like me! I have the whole day to be bitter, watery eyed and fuming.

 

[ToffeeMark]

I cried over Everton in '86, my 6 year old son just burst into tears at the full time whistle, he's a blue forever now...

 

[Fansince1988]

Sad times all round. Onwards Evertonians!

It won't be onwards untill we hear the news, Martinez sacked. Then we can.

 

[BigBlueConk]

I don't think many of us are suprised, only disappointed.
