Match Day Thread Everton (A) EFL Cup - 17/09/24 19:45

Didn't the greatest manager in Europe inspire us to a win there? Or have we (maybe rightly) erased that period from the history books

 

Guessing we have to wait til next week for the draw?

 

Didn’t we win there season before last?

 

Presumably the draw is tomorrow?

 

Yep. Next Wednesaday after Liverpool & West Ham. ****ing ****ty schedule.

 

Doubt it. Games next week as well remember.

 

Oh yeah there are more games next week aren't there?

 

Didn’t McCarthy move off his line before the penalty?

 

Great penalties from the lads, about the only highlight other than Dibbers
Thought Bree had a decent game too

 

As long as he had one foot on the line it's fine.

 

Never in doubt…

 

I admit I thought Aribo was going to miss. I thought he'd do a stupid stutter pen and **** it up completely.

 

Would like to see it again as I thought not!

 

Wins a win now onto Saturday

 

Let’s be honest though… we are ****ing ****e and offer barely any attacking threat again.

Can’t really judge off a cup game. But… hope to see improvements on Sat in almost all areas

 

Same here.

 

That destroys Evertons confidence even more on the plus side

 

I can't give Lallana MOTM just for 45 minutes. But yet again he was the class player on the pitch. Great to see him coming off at HT because, assuming no injury, that surely means he'll be starting vs Ipswich.

I got the feeling that all five subs were pre-planned, given their timings. The triple sub had a somewhat negative impact in that it disrupted our rhythm. I think in normal circumstances we wouldn't have done that.

Armstrong and Wood both had their own battle our worst player.

 

Ipswich fred up tomorrow.

 

The important thing for me tonight was that we looked so much better when Fernandes and Dibling came on. I actually thought Diaz looked quite good when cut in off the left as well. Plus Lallana still has the ability to find bags of time and space on the ball.
