Anyone who isn't 100% upset whenever we lose isn't a true Evertonian.

I simply can't pass a defeat off as NEA. It always hurts, and a cup defeat always hurts a little bit deeper as it rules out another possible trophy opportunity.

so not taking the competition seriously then?

At least as seriously as any other premier league team to be honest mate - Bournemouth made 11 changes from the weekend, Leicester rested Vardy and others, Liverpool made 7 changes.

There's a balance between "taking it seriously" and recognising that the odds of winning it are low for any team, and that the success or otherwise of a season is more likely to be determined by league position than by cup runs.

Better to bomb out early than in the semis (I only mean that cos it hurts not making the final, rather than not being good enough to reach the semis).

Better not repeat it in the FA Cup though.

This.

There is a huge myth about "good cup runs" that simply doesn't wash. The truth is that going out at the quarter- or semi-final stage is damaging in many ways: league results invariably suffer a little when you have a prolonged involvement in the cups, the extra games put huge demands on the squad, every game that goes to extra time increases the risks of injury significantly, the drop in morale when you lose a final or a semi, or even a quarter final, is an issue. Ultimately, the league matters more - you don't get relegated for going out of the cup in an early round, but it is possible to win a cup and get relegated.

If you don't win it, then you are better off out of it at the earliest opportunity. There is still the FA cup for those who feel differently.
 
Some people saying there not arsed amaze me. We are not in Europe if we got to the final wed literally be playing am extra what 6 games throughout the whole season if we won it. We've not won a cup in 21 years we should be going for anything
 
I think yesterday confirmed that we have a threadbare squad in terms of quality. Therefore, we want to play as little games as possible this season. Therefore, I am not arsed.

Where you 100% upset when we got twatted by Sunderland and Roberto got sacked? I was made up to get beat, so I mustn't be a true Evertonian.
 
to be honest, not arsed at all

We usually do bomb out of the league cup so back to normal again after last yeah eh?

Plus we knew the squad overall is crap. So no point in being Miserable about getting beat because we all knew the limitations of some of the players who played.

Least hopefully Koeman knows he needs to gut the squad now.
