Really weird Everton match

[JammyP]

1972 at Goodison with Don Revie. Loads of room. Where were the subs?

Thread idea, who was Evertons greatest 'Mr Versitile'? I'm away for the weekend, feel free to poach.

No need for a thread. Step forward Mike Lyons.

The loss 3-0 loss to Wigan. That game didn't feel real, it felt like a really bad dream and I waiting to wake up and breathe a sigh of relief.

I wasn't even angry afterwards (not straightaway at least), I was that much in denial. Literally missed the 2nd and 3rd goals because I went the toilet.

League Cup game I think the day after the September 11 disaster,Stars and stripes banner on the pitch and just such a surreal atmosphere,and understandably so.

Against Palace. Finished1-1, both penalties and then went to pennos after ET, which Palace won. Not that it mattered or anyone cared.

Thanks mate,no recollection at all of the game/opponents,just the air of indifference from players and crowd.

When the second went in I just put my head in my hands for ages. All of a sudden I just remember hearing a crescendo of boos and when I lifted my head up Jordi Gomez was running away celebrating the 3rd.

Dinamo Bucharest 5 Everton 1

One of the most ridiculous games I have ever seen. I remember watching it in the pub and for the first half hour we were actually laughing at how bad Bucharest were. Then all of a sudden they scored and we bottled it big time. Instead of just holding out for a 1-1 draw which would have been a decent result in a European Away first leg we started to panic and pushed players forward for no reason and they kept just picking us off on the counter.

We were on the cusp of getting into the champions league the month before, all of a sudden we were getting battered by the third best team in Bucharest.
