Everton (FA Cup) Post Match Thread

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.

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.

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

When did City last fail to win a penalty shootout?

I recall Chelsea, Wolves, and best of all, Liverpool!

Should have said ‘only weakness ......penalties’
I like many I guess wouldn’t be confident going into a penalty shootout given our current penalty record. Need to win in 90 or 120 minutes

None of them entitled cnuts signed up for this shit did they lol

Yet our squad only cost around £150m more than their’s and that’s before you add what they’ve wasted on Sanchez transfer/wages and Pogba’s agent fees the past few years.

That said I fucking hope we blow everyone out the water this summer with Haaland, Messi and Grealish top of the shopping list to really piss on their chips!

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.

Darker did say the noise of a full stadium would have helped Everton. That was after the first ten minutes when we had 83% possession. Apart from our corner it would have been very quiet.
 
I thought it was a fascinating game.

Ancellotti said beforehand that when he was manager at Real, he never mentioned Messi before the El Classico as he didn't want to frighten his players. yesterday though he must have mentioned our wide players because they were doubled up on every time they received the ball. It also meant though that Coleman and Digne rarely got forward which meant the lump up top hardly got any service as it often comes from there full backs.

I thought Ancelloti's plan was good, although turning Everton into a kind of Wimbledon would not have gone done well with the Everton faithful. They never really threatened us though, a couple of half chances and that was it and like all the best teams we found a way to win. What a season Gundogan is having, I think only two players have scored 20 goals from midfield in a season, Lampard and Yaya, Gundo is in with a chance with matching those two, that would be POTY stuff that.

Everton did look physically out on there feet in the last 10 minutes, we let the ball do the work, there players did the work. It has to be so tiring to be constantly moving across and then back and then across again as we pass it looking for an opportunity. The introductions of the subs were spot on because we had tired them out.

How i wish we had a 24 year old Fernandinho, he is a magnificent footballer, obviously at his age he cant play every game and Rodri is proving to be a good replacement, but Fernandinho has an edge to him, he enjoys doing the dirty work, the water carrier role as it was called when Deschamps did it for that brilliant French team.

We weren't at our very best, but we still had more than enough and now we are i think 11 wins from winning the lot. No doubt we will fuck it up though :))

Did anyone else notice that the stadium announcer when KdB scored announces "the second goal for manchester united scored by number 17, Kevin de Bruyne"?

How fucking petty can you get?

Glad we beat the cunts again!
That statement about Covid, where they didn’t even wish the players a speedy recovery has come back to haunt them
All season they have been overrated, a poor team for the money spent
