At least no one got injured. They'll be 10 different outfield players to that starting eleven on Saturday. Move on, can't dwell on how awful it was.
 
We played our second string if that mate. Would you rather are best players played and got injured when we need them most?
I am not saying that mate I am saying the eleven that went out played with no desire or leadership.
Surely if you are not first choice and you get a chance to play you will give it your all and try to look to get yourself in the frame for a first team spot.
 
Didn't see the game, another 3 goals conceded is not good and I was hoping for a good cup run this year. Disappointed, as I am after any defeat.

Need to start getting some clean sheets back on the board soon, Analfield would be a great place to start. Confidence must be shot to bits.
 
Didn't see the game. Half because I had something else to do, and half because I made something else to do for when the Carling Cup was on. Crap result but a pointless competition* and I would much prefer going in to a Derby having lost it, but our main players rested.



*Unless Everton ever win it, in which case it's the single most significant sporting achievement in the world.

I get your meaning that the 11 who played should of known it's for a position in the first team. But players who don't play together don't have a clue. And that's why usually most B teams or your second string don't play well.

That's the key here, I wouldn't be surprised to see 10 changes for Saturday, probably 9 if Pienaar's still not fit.

It was our second string minus the goalie. Garbutt and Besic making their full debuts, Oviedo's first game back from injury, Hibbert, Alcaraz and Gibson all with their first starts of the season. Not surprising it was a disjointed performance but I can't defend the lack of fight.
 
'...and if you know your history'

Please take a moment to refresh your mind...knee jerking after sleeping on things is rather silly.
No really, struggling to remember two worse back to back games. I can think of poor games, but we usually put in a performance next game. Which two are you thinking of?

A team second string or not and defensive errors don't help! Don't have a sence of how the others around work to have that team bond as our first team does. Martinez will field a proper team against Liverpool and our proper team has to stand up and be counted for.
