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

[Tree13]

One thing I will say about tonight's result: If that's the price we have to pay in order to beat the RS at the weekend, I'm ok with that.

 

[Neiler]

Anyone else have a sense that our Spanish Shepard couldn't give a flock about the league cup!

Because I genuinely haven't. I was a massive Evertonian up until about 1992...and then the career/travel, marriage, kids thing came along and I only really kept peripheral interest in Everton fortunes. I only really got seriously back into watching Everton in 2012/13 when life allowed me a LOT more time. So, that is why I was so excited to finally see the club legend Hibbo, play. And, I am sorry to say, I did not think he was all that. Coleman for me, all day long

He is a bit of a legend because he has been with the club his whole career, and seems a good lad so most wished him well and liked when he did well.

He was and is a very very limited footballer, with some okay defensive skills. He probably shouldn't have managed to have had a career at Everton, but he did!

honestly some of you need to open your eyes, it was a second 11 a chance to give returns from injurys and younger players minutes, the side is in a run of bad form its not a different side from last season one important result and we'll gain confidence and form Martinez's methods have worked in the past no need to revert back to what moyes did, just regain confidence and balance in defence and well be fine

I think Mirallas would have been on if he really wanted to drag back that 2-0.

 

[ToffeeTownMilto]

So we are all agreed then... The Catalan Clowm has to go??!!

Coleman is 20 times the player hibbo ever was.

Hibbert was the boo boys favourite who was one of the main reasons we lost our last fa cup final.

The cult hero thing is just a reaction to the stick he gets rather than genuine admiration.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

I expect to win on Saturday. They are awful and have had to play an extra hour tonight. A loss is simply out of the question.

Arsenal out as well - Lost at home. Liverpool held to penalties at home.

Compared to the other teams we aren't doing that bad.

That's what I saw. So because he's a local lad loyally earning thousands of pounds a week for over a decade at Everton, he's a legend in some people's eyes? Not having that. Bugger loyalty, it's Coleman for me all day long.

Team for the weekend

Howard

Baines - Stones - Jagielka - Coleman

Barry - McCarthy

Mirallas Naismith McGeady/Lukaku (?)

Eto'o


So the only people I can see from this match starting are Howard and (maybe McGeady). Perhaps Garbutt as a reward for his performance

It was the fringe players tongiht

Can't have Mcgeady and Mirallas in the same team. Neither do enough defensive work.

This man talks sense everybody, listen to him and heed his advice.

This you know, my beloved brethren But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger.

 

[deipnosophist]

Swansea or Southampton will probably win this trophy

im not sure why you are comparing him to seamus, as if some people say hibbo was better??
