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

[LAToffee]

Started terrible, improved a bit, then took the lead even though they has the better chances. Very Everton. Long way to in this yet though.

Besic our best player but Lukaku is looking a bit isolated again with Kone not on the pitch. Too many long balls up to him with nobody around him. It's not exactly football from the gods. Del not having his best night either.

Not watching the same game obviously

 

[Huyton Layne]

Wait? It's Tony Bel-you not Tony Bel-oo, that's what the tannoy just said. Have I been wrong this whole time?

Fuxking hell who let this dour [Poor language removed] on the tv... That voice fills me with dread and negativity no matter the subject

Both of our centre backs have found the onion sack tonight and if it wasn't for those corrupt refs from the FA, they'd have let all of our goals stand.

Sorry, I appeared to have been possessed by a Kopite for a spell.

Runo Mores was apparently onside lads, everything was fine.

This is a joke studio right?

 

[when i score we riot]

Just called him Munes Fori

 

[Matty_j1878]

Shame Funes Mori can't defend though!

How many will i catch?!!!

 

[Azza]

Munes Fori!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Good stuff.

Suspect Man City will go up another level this half, they're certainly capable.

Pretty much everyone except Barkley and Cleverley has been great so far. Barkley is having a day off, so it's okay, Cleverley should never play on the left wing though. Start Mirallas there and Robles in front of Howard any time of the week. Besic has been such a God. Hope RM learns a lesson or two today.

ha ha ha, we have not looked so solid down the left all season. This game is not about all out attack mate

 

[mkrudden]

That shot by Barkley. Wow.

We need another though. At least.

 

[toffeejack]

It was offside right? Not that I care

Nah, he was easily on.

Would rather he was offside given the amount of crap decisions we get vs then lately.

I like many didn't celebrate for ages, when he turned around to run in the lino's direction I was fearing the worst ha

Sharp all across the park here. Ya Ya and Silva starting to lose interest thanks to some great stuff from Besic and Barry. Mori looking like a gem to me. Best game Leighton has had for a long time as well. Cleverley is a proper footballer. Just need Rom and Del on same wavelength a couple of times and this could be momentous.
Or could all fall apart with one bit of Aguero magic.
Just keep this intensity Blues.
