Attacked their own team coach, spat in a woman's face, kicked off with a load of blues despite there being kids with both sets of fans.

Then got piped rar down with a couple getting sparked before the police arrived.

I appreciate it's the minority but there was enough of them there to have gone right down in my estimations.

ermmm, what? he was done for, he would have caused more harm to the team and himself by staying on. Don't you think sometimes physios are there doing their job?

no i get that, but how many times do you see a player in an important game suffer a concussion and ignore the advice of their doctor / physio and just get on with it? or suffer a knock but play on, or have injections before a big game to numb pain

im just saying would people have been moaning about the situation if after he had gone off we ended up losing 3-2?

i wouldn't personally. i know it probably didn't cross his mind, but the euros aren't too far away, i'd understand him being sellfish, even though we're the ones that pay his wages.

But i was saying to take rom off when he was limping, i know it's different circumstances, because we had subs left, but i would be irrate if he carried on and made his injury much worse, thus ruling him out of the season. You can imagine he may be back in time for the final which would benefit us, rather than 5 mins extra of him.
 
Good job to Everton for nailing the capital one semi-final first leg. The home side have been very brilliant tonight. Romelu Lukaku’s late goal gave the team an impressive first-leg advantage.

yeah i'd always rather be precautious and sub a player off if we have subs left...i dunno its a bit of a weird situation because of the the fact that we don't really play that may cup semi finals and the fact that you don't normally have to go down to 10 men after using all 3 subs, pretty much unheard of these days. At least nothing came of it in the end and hopefully seamus will be back soon.

I'd go with


Joel

Coleman-Hibbert-Stones-Jagielka-Funes Mori-Galloway-Oviedo-Baines

Barry Besic


The old 8-2-0

Works, this. Besic showed he could beat players and the desire to get forward which this set set-up offers.

I'd think about Lennon 2nd half too, as he's also shown he can nick a goal when we're basically defending solidly :)
