Everton (FA Cup) Post Match Thread

[eyalluvitt]

Howard Kendall's superb Everton team of the 80s were denied the opportunity to compete for the European Cup because of the actions of their neighbours. I sympathised with them then because of that. However, BT were disgraceful tonight - even by their own low standards - recalling every City defeat they could remember. Everton have been spending massively for four years now at a level that says they should compete for the Prem and Ch L. That level of spending meant that Ian Darke would have to be careful for once re what he says about the investment in our team. But what did we see tonight - a megabucks Everton team playing us with a small time mentality - hoping to nick something on the break or from a set piece like Burnley. BT were full-on with the 'plucky little Everton' mantra. Not a word about Everton's new found football lottery win wealth. Then Jake Humphrey says to Ancelotti 'You nearly beat City'. Hopefully his media colleagues are reminding him of that pathetic comment. And what about the stadium announcer - referred to us as Man United at least twice !!!!!!

True, a team that has outspent us in 3 of the last 4 windows are treated by the media like a hungover Wilmslow Albion reserves team playing against the prime Brazil 1970 world cup winning team.

Sheikh Mansour went up the road
In his Ford Fiesta
Didn’t need to splash the cash
For Stockport’s Iniesta

Yes, for the sake of football we should give them even more of a chance than playing without our best players for 90% of the game.

What rotters we are.

Hope we spend another billion and dominate for another 10 years

All we need is a striker.
We don't need to spend a billion.
Oh, and a replacement for Fern (but where do you find a replacement for Fern?!).

Isn’t our record in penalty shootouts surprisingly good?

I know we’re shit at pens in the Prem but we seem to fare well in shootouts.

Just equating our recent penalty record with likely outcome of have 5 in the space of 10 minutes

 

[M12Blue]

We dont have a weakness in a shootout.

I can’t remember when last one was, but if we got 5 penalties in a game, on current form we’d score 3
