Everton (A) FA Cup QF | Pre-Match Thread

Nah. Playing Joe Hart over Pantilimon against Wigan in the FA Cup Final was a massive blunder by Mancini. I’m not even religious but I swear we weren’t blessed that day due to that decision.

Pants would have been the only player giving a fuck that day ;-)

You just have to like Ancelloti. He does not do the City bingo like most of them when discussing City. It feels as though you would like to apologise to him if we win.

Compare and contrast with that knobjockey Bingo

I think Steffen, Laporte, Mr. Zinchenko, and Gabby will come into the starting 11. Maybe Fern as well. But I won't even guess at how we will line up because I haven't got a clue.

It’ll be 2 central defenders, and 8 midfielders.

Karma. Keeper gets you to the final you play them in the final

9 if you count Eddie!

Play a very strong team. Get some more minutes from Kun and have twenty shots at this keeper.

Win this and we are 3 wins from a domestic treble (only done once in history!) assuming we don’t fuck the league up.

Tell that to Muric!

Look its plain and simple really, pushing us out as meant to be winning everything, takes the focus off the massive player and management failings in Salford and dipper land. Using their own analysis the rags having spent so much money lately should be winning the Thursday Night Cup with ease.

To be fair, the media could either say that we can win everything, or they could say that we can't. I suspect there'd be push back from City fans either way.

I was (quite reliably) informed shortly after the match that the decision to play Joe Hart was not made by Bobby Manc, but rather by (ahem) "a group of senior players" following heated discussions. Cozy Pants should have played.

Whoever made the decision, the team f***** up royally that day - If Wigan hadn't scored, we'd probably still have lost on penalties.

Didn't agree with that at the time but thankfully we got away with it.
