Match Thread Reading vs. Everton - Tuesday 22nd Sept - Capital One Cup Third Round - 20:00 KO

[Tubey]

Robles and Funes Mori showing Martinez defensive signing quality right there... *sigh*

 

[Sapie88]

Blackman scores.

He has a name!

 

[RFUS]

You mean the formation that we all thought would happen until we found out it was still 4-2-3-1 with Lennon at right back and Osman on the wing?

I'm only half watching it admittedly, watching the Bayern game at the same time!

But regardless, my issue was having Lennon be the defensive player on the right. Right back is even worse!! Has he ever played there before?

 

[evertonarntwe]

Lukaku needs to pull his finger out here, terrible half again

 

[Dexter]

Drat

 

[quasi modo]

Funes Mori isn't a left back is he?

It's only what Reading deserved.

 

[toffeejack]

This is utter crap. Both full backs at fault, don't understand why we're not playing 3-5-2 with the personnel.

This is the very type of team we've struggled against for a while. Sit deep with a mass of numbers back.

 

[Robertor]

Lennon at right back after the game Browning had on Saturday is ridiculous, should've stopped the cross. Poor from Funes too.

 

[Jags..class]

Hate the league cup, very year this cup ruins our morale, can't we just pull out of this cup next year

 

[No8Bally]

can't even nip out for a typhoo ....

No. And Mori is left back. He just can't possibly deviate from his comfort blanket formation, the incredible dullard

 

[hktoffee]

Howard is still miles better than Robles.

 

[sageyefc]

Kinnell Roms having one

 

[RFUS]

Let's not judge Funes too quickly. He was poor for their goal then but he's played about 45 minutes of English football ffs.

both have been alright though?

robles should have done better with the punch/ whatever that was but can only assume it swayed at the last minute.

mori apart from the goal has been fine, sound going forward / on the ball and without protection of someone infront of him he hasn't done anything really that wrong
