Everton (FA Cup) Post Match Thread

Wembley Wembley
I thought Moyes had returned with them tactics and fouls especially Gomes.

When is red dippers fa cup tie? Oops forgot. Concentrating on ....

They were lucky there were no fans in the stadium, they’d have been booed to fuck being so negative. Pathetic display from a decent Prem team at home in a cup quarter final. Joke of a team.

A bit harsh I think. You are right about the possible fan reaction, but Ancelotti is not daft and he set his team up with the best chance of ‘nicking’ a result. Only one or two teams in Europe would fancy their chances of going toe to toe with us - and Ancelotti gave Everton the best chance of progressing. Definitely not ‘a joke of a team’.

It was bedlam before and after the game, Evertonians trying to take liberties. Fantastic atmosphere at both games

It was the best away for me at the time, Villa Park for the semi was better ..

 

[Akpowell]

Well played lads we were never troubled at the back but never created much going forward, Kevin came on and changed the game

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

aint as good as the MEDIA tell us. FACT.

What an unusual post. The very last thing the media do is play up the ability of Raheem Sterling.

Great night, the replay. A lot of Evertonians left early and missed their goal.
Must say, at Goodison I was a bit worried.

Wow-what a defence, how many clean sheets is that now? A few seasons ago it was 'you score 4 we will score 5' which coach oversees defensive tactics? take a bow!

Everton stadium announcer when Kev scored said goal scorer man United number 17 Kevin De bruyne lol they fuckin wish!

Agree to disagree then, however reading this thread seems vast majority are in my camp.

Of course we do but if you look at what it was spent on its a waste. Im personally frustrated we didnt go at you but thats why im not a manager! One of the worlds best managers set up like that as he felt it was the only way to get (sneak) a 1-0 win so I cant doubt him.

Anyway hope you go on and win it!

Fair enough mate. I think 80% of the frustration comes from seeing those same tactics week after week. Especially the keeper trying to slow the game down from the first minute. That really grinds my gears. And then hearing how good the opposition were at almost winning. Good luck selling that product.
Anyway, Good luck for the rest of the season. Apart from the obvious.

Sorry but no!! No fucking credit for a top half premier league team performaning like Cheltenham or another lower league side. They’ve spent millions and didn’t even try to win the game just to spoil it. It’s fucking tedious hearing the commentary saying how well they’ve done. Utter joke and I’d be fuming if I was a blue dipper.

I think that's insulting to Cheltenham. At least they know how to use a long throw ;-)

I thought I heard that...

Wankers.

I'd be telling every player that jets off to fake illness

Got what they deserved, nowt

 

[simmo]

A tough encounter in more ways than one. Leniency by the officials for blatant cynical fouls. Everton playing for pens

Stuck to the task well and rewarded in the end. Persistence in trying to win the game paid off.

in those type of games Fernandinho always stand out.

The MOTM was Raz, by removing himself from the game he opened up different chances and possibilities for us and we duly used it. Gundo and Zinchensko together with Americ on the left had some great exchanges and he was destroying every single of them. Actually Gundo suffered as well, because he started holding onto the ball and lost quite a few of them. But once Phil moved to the left with Riyad hanging on the right and KdB back in business it was matter of.....6 minutes to make it so easy.
Zinchenko definitely needs to ask for substantial pay rise either with us or somewhere else. he's been playing like a clockwork, is there a defensively more improved player in the league right now? And shout to Gaby, that boy is one mean honey badger, his fighting spirit and preparedness to tussle for very single ball gives us so much advantage positionally. Him and Richarlison upfront for us would be fun to watch, I've never seen two more un-Brazilian Brazilian attackers since watching football, excellent on the ball, but run and wrestle like the third division players.

Game changer when Sterling came off and I don't mean that disrespectfully. Foden and Mahrez with Kev and gabby pressing allowing Fern to hold the mid and the indelible Whippy to ring his bell. It all just looked so ridiculously balanced and the proverbial key to the door.

Still plenty

 

[Tommy_Catons_Perm]

If Everton fans were at the match would they have been pleased with that performance I wonder. They would have seen City play football but not Everton. I don't think Everton had a chance in the second half?

 

[city saint]

the sort of game the post match thread would have been much different had we not scored.we bossed it.
