FA Cup | Everton (A): Post Match Thread 1 - 2

Recommended Posts

Just got back. A great performance. I see Ndidi has been getting plenty of praise on here but Mendy impressed me just as much today. Both were impeccable in screening the back four and shut down the middle of the pitch, meaning Everton's success was limited to the flanks and crosses. 

 

Musa also seemed much more threatening on the ball today, not getting shrugged off easily and providing some impressive dribbles as well as two good finishes obviously. I hope we get to see more of him through the middle in coming weeks. Good to see Kaputska get his debut as well, almost grabbed a goal at the death.

 

Want to say how good the away end was as well. Sat in the home end their fans were silent for almost the whole game and all I could hear was our away end which never stopped singing, and which was especially loud in the three minutes we were behind. Kudos to everyone that travelled.

That's better, nice one rmahrez. Hope you enjoyed the game.

Koeman has ended up calling out both his players and his boss. Glad he's having a bad time of it because he's a moaning gobshite.

In full agreement.

On a side note, never forgiven him for that foul in 93 either. Though he should be applauded for being part of the process of ending Graham Taylors 'reign'.

For those that went - should we be concerned that even with 3 in the middle we still concede so much possession? Third game in a row we've played 3 midfielders but still getting overrun.

 

We will never be Barcelona (and I'm not saying we need to be), but it does concern me!

Missed the game and can't find any highlights on the net right now. Can any one point to any decent highlights ?

 

Which formatipn did we play? How was Ndidi? Also Musa bagged 2? Wow.

England's spirit was never in doubt, but they missed the pace and spontaneity of Ian Wright and lumbered themselves with a second unnecessary handicap in recalling Carlton Palmer, who lasted just one half before Taylor acknowledged his mistake by replacing him with Andy Sinton.

 

-----------------------

 

On the above point and apologies for being off topic, I just came across this paragraph in a piece regarding Koeman not being sent off in the 1993 qualifier. You could use that paragraph today by just changing the names to current players.

Palmer and Sinton, those were the days..............

I wouldn't worry. We're much more solid with the 3, and we're always good for a goal- won 2 and drawn 1 since we made the change, no complaints from me.

I hope the formation change is here to stay. Especially while Maghreb and Slimani are away. That midfield three has potential to compliment one another.

Don't they really play 4231 rather than 451?

With that type of post..then carry on thinking.... Sorry you cant show a bit more thought and imagination..!!.

Use google, use the Correct word pairing. Go shopping around the world..

Some streams free ,others Gameday/monthly or Budget start prices. To cancel according to own needs.

Some take an half hr to set up, because of poor stability, others take your money, then break up.

Because I am a nice guy, I will warn you of 2 things....

1)Viruses And Maulwurfs

2) Getting set up and finding, various streams are not available for..Geograhic locations..So money maybe lost

Thats why for one reason, I nor foxforum like them being suggested on this forum....

If you cant...dont be sarcastic to people who can..!!

And I am only an IT-networker, who knows nuttin , on picking up great streams, I just go poaching..:whistle:

 

Dude, I was only joking!  Actually was interested as didn't know any channels were showing the game.

 

FWIW - thought your poem the other night was pretty funny.  Reminded me of stuff my brother comes up with.  

 

Glad you got to watch the game, and stay safe.  The Internet is a dangerous place :)

No probs, you can take all my posts with a pinch of salt. 

I just throw out the pros and contras, some times with bite ( More like a Lick), sometimes with Wry nonsensical tripe.

Why, I am just like all the Other  forum posters...foxed n fuchsed, best of all from, Leicester and proud for no reason at all...:D

Honestly.... we're never gonna hold possession whilst huth Morgan are at the back.
