The FA Cup

[McBain]

..the point i’m making is it’s not a matter of sacrificing one against the other.

...and I was answering your hypothetical, as to why some would think that.

 

[Sharpattack]

Stupid view that. We need to show we have a presence in Europe to attract the players we need to get us into the Champions League...how do people not understand that!?

We had an OK window last summer without the prospect of Sunday football

I want us to win the cup and finish as high up the league as possible. I know people want to go full strength but I think given the fixtures we are coming off we can get through resting some of our players. I would keep Pickford in the team as I think swapping GK always makes a team look weaker. I would rest Mina so we would be back to Zouma and Keane a partneship everyone was happy with a few weeks ago. Baines for Digne as he will need a breather and Baines is good enough for this level of opposition. McCarthy for Gueye some lads would see that as an improvement anyways and McCarthy needs a chance somewhere. Upfront I would take Richarlison out put DCL up top he always seems to score against lower league teams, put Lookman on the left and Bernard in the Gylfi role. That team should make easy work of a League 2 side and if it doesn't we should be asking serious questions of 6 regular 1st teamers and 4 of our regular subs.

Still lacking any sort of mentality to win big games or a cup, but we're getting there.

I'll have high expectations next season as our squad should have gelled, as well as signing a decent striker.

 

[Jags]

Something like

Pickford
Kenny Zouma Mina Baines
Davies Gana
Lookman Bernard Richarlison
DCL

Should be more than enough, with a bench like

Stekelenburg, Digne, Keane, Gomes, Siggy, Walcott, Tosun

I’m sure they’re glad to have my 20+ years worth of season ticket money.

Yeah, I mean you've effectively paid for a 6th of Seamus Coleman yourself...

 

[LEONARD]

We’ll knock Lincoln out, possibly get past the fourth round, too, then these wimps will feel the pressure and buckle.

It’s the Everton Way.

Yep I agree, that's why the stadium is like a library, we are now worn down by fatalism borne of experience.

Yeh, I'm sure they're rolling in that...works out as less than 10k, maybe moshiri could buy a used Fiesta with it ...

So imagine if we had the prospect

 

[gonetomorrow]

I fancy a cup run. Nothing to lose.

Just hope Silva does, no chance we are getting top 5 so for me the cup is far more important then the league, he has to take it serious

 

[Huyton Layne]

Dares rest the keeper and I'll get him kneecapped

 

[summerisle]

So, no potential revenue for lower league teams, all for the sake of six teams.

I had no problem the other day . If you're an STH the deadline to claim your seat was 6pm today.. I guess now you have to wait till they go on general sale as per the club website
