Fleetwood Town manager Joey Barton to Sky Sports: "It was a tough learning lesson for some of our young players. We showed too much respect in the first period but made it a cup tie in the second half. We had Everton worried at one stage."

Would a home crowd have made a difference? "We've seen it down the years, a crowd getting behind the team can give you momentum. Who knows? We let them off the hook by conceding soon afterwaards.

"Newcastle won 7-0 and Chelsea won 6-0. At half-time and 2-0 down you're worried if the galacticos go into overdrive. Thankfully we made a cup tie out of it.

"Now it's back to the bread and butter of the league."

Galacticos...and James didn’t even play. It wasn’t long ago we were being punted out of the cups by the likes of Milwall. The times, they are a changing.

A new keeper. Easy question.

Sorry if its already been asked, but...

Can any statto tell me the last time, if any, that we scored two goals from two backhealed assists in the same game?

It was Iwobi

It was Bernard. They asked iwobi to give him the trophy.

Thought the rotation worked a treat tonight,we were outstanding,some great movement and slick passing,great goals,just a pity our attention seeking keeper had to get involved,he really must be on borrowed time now I feel.

I simply have to ask... how can these guys seriously pick Pickford as MotM ?

• Chris O'Connor
• NorthernBlue
• Street end man
• Dan79

The power is in your hands
Release the hound @Groucho and his ban hammer

If that fails release @carlos21 and his jog on command

 

[Steve EFC]

Great to see there are plenty of goals in us and playing with smiles on their faces.... well except Moise cos he’s too cool.
That said I don’t disagree with the comments about Pickford, I just think Keane has been let off the hook abit for his part in their first goal....

Haha!! Brilliant with a dodgy keeper!!!

 

[Pab Laa]

Someone else on the same wave of thought!

Of all the fringe players we gave a run out today, our first choice keeper was the only problem.
