Match Thread Everton Vs Manchester City - Capital One Cup - Semi Final 1st Leg - Wednesday 6th January - 20:00 KO

[peteblue]

Away goals don't count in this cup, only after ET in the 2nd Semi

Keep a clean sheet, or draw and we're through

Or just score another 2 at City.......

 

[kenada_blue]

probably,but its better than a draw or off course a defeat,2-1 is what i had and very happy with the overall play tonight,but i predicted us to go out 2nd leg-play like tonight quite alot of this game and we have great chance

It's just an edgy scoreline for me.

They can easily score 2 at home....

I don't understand, if we lose 0-1 at Etihad it goes to ET, right?

And if nothing happens in ET then pens?

What's this about away goals counting after ET? If we go into extra time at 0-1 and both us and citeh score then it's pens? but if it's 2-3 to them after 120 minutes we go through?

Looked a lot more solid, be that Besic in the middle or even the extra confidence a goalie who can come off his line gives. Top performance and could've been a lot more.

Not having a pop at Howard, but we did look a bit more comfortable at the back.

 

[Ring master]

nearly every attempt on target,8 attemps,7 on target

Everton win and Anna Woolhouse is on SSNHQ. What an evening!

If nothing happened in extra time we'd be out

They didn't even bother with man of the match did they ?

 

[Toffeelover]

This was a good all round performance from the players, well in and a good result. I mean to beat City just shows how much better we are than our league position suggests.

 

[Zezti]

I'd want to see that Leandro Rodriguez for the FA cup match, along with Browning and Galloway. Even against lower league, I don't have faith in Kone anymore.

 

[Bigmaclad]

We'll go through and then get tonked at Wembley by the RS, written in the stars

...being picky, I thought Robles got his angle wrong for their goal but the save he made to his left was fantastic. Toure looks a shadow of his former self.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Great performance....shame we gave away such a stupid goal....Would have loved a 2 goal lead, but least we have a chance now....

 

[Rook]

who assisted on Rom's goal?

Barry won it

(the above is not a joke)
