Everton (H) FA Cup - 05/01/2020 - 16:01

[an tha]

Done ok...regardless of BBC making out Walcott is Messi and Everton are Brazil 1970

[Jennings]

Williams and Jones doing well. 

[Baltar]

Based on what we've seen, it's safe to say if our first 11 were playing we'd batter this lot.

[lifetime fan]

Would fucking love to win this tie but I honestly wouldn’t care if we went out as long as the kids can be proud of their performance. 
 

Nightmare scenario is a draw and a replay. 

[Anubis]

Doing ok here. Just not getting to grips with the long ball to Calvert-Lewin.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Fucking hell.  It's a good job Everton are shite.

 

Henderson for Chirivella, then Mané for Elliott or Minanino, please.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Haha evertonians treating this like they are playing the first team, the current league leaders, the European champions, the world champions, they're all at home lads watching this on the Tele.

[Jordy Brouwer]

Decent half and performances. Philips is struggling which isn't a criticism just the reality of the situation.

Adrian playing a blinder today. Thought we've done very well, we just lack a bit up front.

Yes.  spot on.

This. If it’d a replay I think we should field our ladies team. Might still win.

[Jenson]

Phillips is the weak link at the back there, looks out of his depth.

Probably get the club a fine, worth every penny to rub it in a little!

We’re allowed in the FA cup apparently

At 22 he’d obviously nowhere near PL levels.

Even better. No fine and rub it in!

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Thought our youngsters acquitted themselves well in that first half. Bit dodgy at the back at times but that is to be expected. As a young player you can hide up front, not as a defender and they are up against players with lots of games under the belts. Adrian was immense on a few occasions to bail them out. 

Overall we had 56% possession and it showed at times, pushing Everton back. Williams, Jones and Elliott looking decent, Minamino has only had four training sessions with the club but looks a handful when he runs at defenders, just need more intelligent players running into the space for him to pass too. Thought young Larouci played very well having come on for the injured Milner, hopefully nothing too bad.

Imagine being an Everton fan and you're playing your best team against youngsters and you defend deep and hope to play on the break, you'd be livid. If Ancelotti turns their fortunes around I'd be more than surprised, they're fucking shit. 

[TheHowieLama]

Do they put Crouch on a smaller chair?

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Williams and Jones have done alright. Elliott needs to do a bit more. Phillips and Larouci look a bit shaky. Chiravella isn't very mobile but has looked fairly tidy on the ball. 

 

I actually agree with Keown. Minamino has done okay, but looks a tiny bit off the pace. I think he'd be better from deeper and wider, letting Origi lead the line instead. 

 

Think Everton might still nick it if they continue to create decent chances, but we've done alright so far.

No he's sat 10ft further back that Shearer and Osman.

Phillips is very much out of his depth. Otherwise, the performances have been ok. And the team selection immediately justified by Milner getting a muscle injury. 

By the replay and that his boot was half off as he was subbed, it looked like a rolled ankle. Your general point stands though, more competitive fixtures increases the likelihood of this kind of thing occurring. 

[KMD7]

Have a feeling we might tire second half and Everton will nick it.  Playing well so far though

[3 Stacks]

Minamino's movement is excellent. Really smart and dynamic. He's just lacking the chemistry and sharpness of regular football. 

[Baltar]

Gomez off for the 2nd half please, getting nervous about him getting injured.

Why not let Neko take the corners.

There'd be Acer Palmatum all over the place.

[bizzle10]

interesting this if the bitters cant win with the lineup Klopp selected they might as well give up playing Anfield derbys

[Bobby Hundreds]

Everton are winning this and their peacocking will be dead cute.
