West Ham v Everton: FA Cup 3rd round replay - Jan 13, 2015

[Fansince1988]

I was at work and only got back in time for the shoot out. So I missed what sounds like a brave Everton performance and just caught the grinding disappointment that is losing a penalty shoot out. Ffs. Still, sounds like there were lots of positives so COYB.

We were very good apart from the first 20mins of the second half,we really should have won before pens,but they deserved more.

 

[Khalekan]

I so, so, so, so hope you are wrong for his sake and for the sake of Everton.

Me too.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

For real?

Erm yeah.

He was a danger going forward and industrious tracking back, he looked confident tonight and aggressive but made a poor error for the second yellow.

Has he ever been this effective before for us??

 

[toffeejack]

Kept diving to his right and they were just slotting them to his left with ease. Happened about 3 or 4 times in a row. He definitely needs to work on them.

He has potential though, I'm happy with what I've seen of him.

i was one of the few to want him to get a chance, everyone kept saying i was mad. obviously too early to say he's proved me right, but he's been so much better in his limited time than howard has all season and yet he still has no clean sheet because of our gash defence and DM.

Get Paolo Maldini in as defensive coach.

 

[The Equaliser]

Alas Block, I don't think Ross is going to mature into anything like the player we hoped he was going to.

He has the potential to be a very good player but he is not going to be the new Wayne as we all once believed.

I still think he will be. Going forward we have all seen what he can do. It's the defensive side of his game that needs working on.

Maybe he should make a phone call to the Basque region for some advice.

Anyone giving Rom a hard time needs to look at themselves in the mirror. One of his mates was killed days before. His head must have been up his arse. Delighted he grabbed one just so he could pay his respects.

 

[AndyC]

Get Paolo Maldini in as defensive coach.

Now that's a plan I would totally get on board with !!!

 

[Yorkie]

Spiders and bollocks and all things bad... That said, we didn't look bad, even with 10 men. Robles had a good game, team looked well. But still.... Snakes and bear traps.

 

[WarringtonBlue]

OK we didn't win

But we showed the grit and determination everyone said Martinez would be unable to provide

Mirallas also channeled the spirit of Garrincha

Going to whinge - West Ham were truly truly dirty. Amalfitano, Carroll, Nolan, all pushing and shoving.

Failed to see Big Sam's versaitility on show either

Hopefully we'll take this and go to Pulis and avenge April.

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

Why can't we just have nice things.

Just for a bit.

Ffs.

We have Kev the Belg mate. He's nice.

Alas Block, I don't think Ross is going to mature into anything like the player we hoped he was going to.

He has the potential to be a very good player but he is not going to be the new Wayne as we all once believed.

I think he should take a step back,left on the bench to make him more hungry for first team playing time,he starts most game now and he's got complacent.

 

[Coach]

How much did that horrendous gypsy carthorse get away with tonight, the massive pile of donkey faeces.

MODS!


Post of the thread. Where is the threadmark?

 

[Fansince1988]

Kev did tonight what deloufeu did when he came on last season,we miss him mirallas was a game changer tonight,but should be a starter if fit,but we need that del factor off the bench.

@neilashton_: Eto'o leaving Everton, pretty much confirmed by Martinez. 'Contact from two clubs.'

Could have done with Eto's experience tonight when we went 2-1 up,we needed someone to hold the ball up.
