Everton (FA Cup) Post Match Thread

[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.

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)

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

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.

Great to be in another semi. Didn't think we played very well.

True. But we were better than them.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.
