Everton (FA Cup) Post Match Thread

[BillCarlisle]

Well played City. A deserved win

Go on and win it now. In fact, go win all four.

Off to sulk

Respect, Sir.
Thank you for your good wishes and I sincerely hope you finish above those red twats from across Stanley Park.

Laporte.

Absolute don of a performance.

Maybe last 30 minutes of the game but 1st half he never won a header & DCL bossed him

Better in last 30 imo & great run & shot

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.

Reminded me very much of the game between the Rag's and Arsenal where the Rag's took it in turns to kick f*ck out of Reyes.

Everton targeted both Jesus and Gundo and they would have had no arguments if at least one of those fouls had resulted in a red card; especially the one against Gundo. The player leaving one in on Gabby could easily have seen red also.

Proper shithouse display from the Blue Dipper's.

Great to be in another semi. Didn't think we played very well.
Thought Laporte had several opportunities to make runs forward with the ball but didn't. As we saw when he did then we scored.
Fernandinho had a great game. Thought Gabriel poor as was Gundog and Raheem

 

[Akpowell]

Words don't do us justice

Remember the days when we had a losing mentality? If we won 1 game in 3 we were happy.
Now it’s the complete opposite. The club is unrecognisable from the losing mentality era and it’s all down to our superb management team from the Chairman down to Pep and even beyond into all levels of the club. Today’s match emphasised the point to me. The point being we are an absolute machine which runs off winning trophies and it’s a joy to behold. Now our domestic season revolves around winning three more matches to secure ANOTHER treble (the league is won already let’s face it). The fact that no other club has done it before us and that we are sooo close to doing it again just shows how brilliant we are. To win the Champions League at the end of it all would make us the greatest team who has ever played the game in our country if not the world. We can almost taste it - let’s do it City.

He was pretty poor the first half mate, but grew a pair after the break.

Just needs to get his confidence back.

Agree with that, he was frustrating me quite a bit first half. He's slowed right down on the ball, hopefully the bursts second half will give him a bit more confidence

 

[willipp]

He is overated.

Not on here he isn’t.

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

Not on here he isn’t.

Overslated

Not read the whole thread, but have to say I thought Phil showed great maturity today. He gets shunted around plenty of positions as we make our various subs, and he’s just getting better and better. He really must be close to being a first choice now, surely even Pep must be aware he can’t be holding him back much longer. He’s superb.

 

[WestGorton]

Thought we played well and better through the game. Everton need James or another to link up play as Ricarlison and Lewin are a handful.

 

[chesterbells]

Anyone hear Tyler dissing our quad said its not really recognised ?

What station was he on? (Just so I know to avoid for future reference)

 

[john blue]

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

 

[HolisticJim]

You know, it really is bonkers where we are.

20 - 35 years ago I'd you would have said that in such a short period of time we would be labeled as 'The best team in the world' you would have been shouting for a medic.
So greatful for what we have but it really is surreal sometimes.

True. But we were better than them.

Physically he is vastly different too,his build,stature,and strength are unrecognisable to the player of 12 months ago.
He has developed into a fantastic athlete as well as a ludicrously incredible football talent.

And....he's one of our own!

OliVAR did a job on Eric in the first half. He penalised him for at least three 50-50 challenges and he became hesitant in the tackle. Clearly Pep had a word at half time because he came out like a man possessed.

Me too. I will wake up one day.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Just take a breath, sit back, and imagine that team with Haaland in it.

(not a slight on Jesus, by the way, as he battled like fuck tonight)

Wish he’d ditch his scally hairstyle, but it’s a minor point, lol.
