Everton (FA Cup) Post Match Thread

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

Just needs to get his confidence back.

I think he heard you slaying him at half time. Different player second half, excellent.

Great grinding win. I agree with the posters who think Everton should be a tad embarrassed. What are views on Sterlings performance? Somethings not right. He just smiles after every bumble into blind alleys or misplaced pass. He beat his marker a few times to be balanced but he is not affecting the game sufficiently for my liking. Very frustrating.

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

Great win, Left it late but it will do.
Another Wembley vist.
Next

He has a point and some of your fans expect Ancelotti to come out and play an open game. Would have been a rout.

Obviously as an opposing team its so frustrating to watch, but when you watch as a neutral, its superb.

You enjoyed that?

BT going with ‘plucky Everton’. I’d be fooming if I was a blue dipdip.

Credit to everton ,think they gave us our hardest game physically this season up to now.
A big welldone to our team though for putting in an hardworking performance like that after playing & travelling in europe in midweek.
This team don't know when they are beaten , they could of folded if they wanted to but no way was that going to happen , they want to win every game they play in .

They did, but then when you offer absolutely nothing going forward and attempt to do nothing going forward the game is only going to end one way against us. Everton tried to bully and kick us of the park and that was their only tactic tonight.

Sterling was poor at times. Two encouraging signs from that lad though, he never hides and he never quits. He'll be fine

Yeah bar the two goals we scored Everton nearly won the game ..

Agree, had a game plan, worked hard just got done by extra quality which happens




Think these are slightly unfair tbh. You dont go toe to toe with City unless you have top talent which we dont, nevermind missing James and Doucoure, 2 of our best players in an important area of the pitch.

The plan was obviously to stay compact, dont leave spaces and see if we can hit on the counter. We done well to a point but just lacked quality and ultimately got beat by a better team, no issue with that. Ideally I would like us to be much better on the ball but hopefully its something we address in the summer.

I understand your frustration when teams do that but its a complinent to your quality

Exactly! Oh, and time wasting from the first minute.
Sorry for yourself and the EFC fans. I would have wanted you to win it if you'd gone through but honestly, you deserve more after the money spent. ;)
