Swansea City Vs. Everton - CO Cup 3rd Round - Tuesday 23rd Sept - 19:45 KO

[Durham Toffee]

The derby will be won by the team that always win derbies at anfield. As far as i'm concerned our next game is at old trafford.

Not looking forward to Krasnodar then?

Did anyone expect anything less when we saw the teamsheet?

Massive next game for bobby irrespective of it being a derby.

Loose on Sat and I fear a capitulation of some proportions for the next few away games.

 

[The Hibbert Agenda]

don't know their team selection tonight but i am guessing they will be playing a reserve team

similar to ours. some starters. some youngsters. some rotation.

Gibson and Hibbert were embarrassing tonight every goal was on the right hand side , and Distan had a better effort at his own goal then he did with a clear header at the Swansea goal in the first half - ageing players need moving on !!!!!

We're easier than my wife's sister at the moment, and she's been tapped more times than Michael Flatley's shoes

Haha brilliant

I didn't expect a 3-0 drubbing with inherent apathy...

I feel for the blues that trekked all the way to south Wales to watch that, i'd be looking for a refund had I gone :-(

We played a second team We're out the carling cup. Let's move on and now Martinez this is what your paid for we have to put a shift in Saturday.

I'm not even arsed. I think this season is over. We won't get relegated but we'll be soon knocked out of Europe (maybe we will get out of a group and then loss) and we'll fight for 10th place.

Stop pretending nothing is happening. Can't recall a worse Everton in my lifetime.

Congratulations on your upcoming 3rd birthday.

Confidence is shot (defensively). I left the WBA game thinking order had been restored but the defensive displays in last 3 games just not good enough. RS will plough into us straight from kick off to exploit our fragility. Not confident!

 

[BluePeadar]

When does this become a crisis ?

after the RS spank us 5 nil on Saturday

 

[marty mcfly]

The worrying thing is that we aren't creating many chances either. We've just been clinical.

A lot of tipy-tapy nonsense with players that can't pass is just dangerous - yes I'm looking at you McGeady.

The positive is that Besic looked good in the 2nd half although he had a stinker of a first 20mins.

 

[The Hibbert Agenda]

Everyone must retain perspective and remember that what we were trying to do in this match was not to progress, but rather to increase Howard's confidence ahead of the derby. I for one am ecstatic that this has worked out as planned.

 

[DrEFC]

ANY positives from that? Oviedo got an hour, Besic didn't get booked? I don't think I can commend anything we did tonight - vaguely ok-ish for 20 or so minutes at the start and then awful. Alcaraz misses a decent chance barely anything else. McGeady and Atsu were dreadful - the back 4 (Garbutt apart) were terrible.

I saw Garbutt lose his man and not be strong enough time & time again. To see him not chase balls down, I'd not give him another go till he worked like a kid dying to impress.

Are you doing this on purpose mate?

It will 100% happen, we will lose at Anfiled and at Old Trafford, our defending is diablical and we deserve no more.
