Match Thread Manchester City(1) Vs Everton(2) - Capital One Cup - Semi Final 2nd Leg - Weds 27th Jan - 19:45 KO

[The Mighty Quint]

I said it right before kick off Coleman should have been at RB, cost us today did Stones.

The Kone on for Gerry was a bad sub aswell, took all the pace out of our counter.

 

[Rook]

It's OK. Dodgy goal. Bobby has his excuse

Phenonomally dodgy

I used to think these were the best group of players I've ever seen at Everton. Turns out late 1994-1996 still takes that honour - and their nickname was 'The Dogs of War' :/

2006-2007 team had a better attitude too....scrap that...every team under moyes had more bottle than those rich kids did tonight. Never been so numb or bored of an Everton season ....horrible.

 

[Ashtonian]

Play held up at 89:10 and 5 mins injury time was showing.

You're correct. We should have built a wall around our penalty area to stop the ball getting into our box.

No. More like some sort of plan to be able to go and score again if the inevitable happened.

Kone for del and no Lennon is hoping we don't concede too many.

Lady Luck didn't help us tonight, but city best team on the night. But there was almost an inevitability that we would concede. Oh how we missed besic' bite in midfield. Osman and cleverley shouldn't be near the first team for a while after their performance. 7th time we have conceded 3 goals or more in a match this season. Martinez won't even have a cup to save him now. Time for him to go.

 

[R.Reddington]

A valiant effort.
Unlucky with the deflection and the goal that was dead.
Looked good defensively all round, Jagielka makes a massive difference.

'Valient'. What game did you watch?

 

[Professor Toffee]

There's sky football

Yes it is rich v the rest
Hope Leicester do the Sky beauts

For once, injustice was the reason we lost. Decent performance, otherwise. We should be through.

What revisionist pony is this?

We conceded three goals. Only one was down to the injustice you refer to.
We scored once, and never looked like scoring at all in the second half.
Take away that injustice and we're now in extra time, not looking like scoring... the two other goals we conceded are a HUGE factor - twice the factor, you might say than the one goal that should have been disallowed.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Mori was a leader tonight no other defender even Baines was poor!

Mori was boss and Joel's decision making was good too. Struggling after that to see any positives.

Nights like this make you hate the team you love

We played the best team in England.We are 12th in the league. After 20 games the table doesnt lie. We are crap at the best of times. Some fancy players doesnt make a good team.

Stones wasn't great but you certainly can't put the loss on him. If coleman was fit to play 90, he would have.

 

[Tin-Tin]

The ball was out but even if it wasnt City would have scored, it was wave after wave of attack against one of the worst defences in the league.

 

[lancs blue]

Why take del off who is arguably one of our most creative

 

[ToffeeDan]

There's sky football

Sky football - the one where, if you had turned down the volume, you wouldn't have known about the 9,000 Everton fans. I mean COME ON - did we have to endure 90 minutes of ugly Mancs every time play stopped?

 

[R.Reddington]

The subs killed the game on our part. Martinez hoped to see it out and simply had no plan B. Time to go.
