Got to take the positives out fo today the lads rallied themselves at half time to show we have got good players in this squad it showed if we can keep hold of them and bring in a manager who can motivate them with the new investment it could be good times ahead.

23 Apr 2016 22:03:15
Expected, but none the less disappointed in the end. At least they put a shift in second half and showed some balls. Stones has come on for a bit of stick off some people for his performance today, but I thought he had a good game? Grew as the match went on and started to look like his old self.

Interesting few days to come though, whether Bobby stays or goes.

We have some good players but we are not a dynamic team. We have looked static across the midfield for some time. We came into the game more today in the second half only when Stones began to drive things from the back but we should not be reliant upon a defender to open up space. Since Reid we have not had a driving midfielder. must be a priority in the summer. McCarthy does not bring enough to the table for a top midfielder so far. sideways passing, no penetration. Lennon is an honest trader but not good enough. Cleverly tidy but not the difference. Barry is still our best distributor. Besic will come on in time. Ross is in need of some really good coaching if he is to become a consistent player. Delefeu may develop while Mirallas loses possession too much. Lukaku has deficiencies but brings always a threat. To be just short of top class is the issue for many teams. what Leicester have is a few really good game changers and an organised pack. But our Blues lack defensive know-how and an engine room which can create some space. when we have the ball we only seem to move on the counter, but starting from the centre of the park and we do not create movement or ideas. At times we look clueless. roberto martinez is a nice guy (even if his assessments of games is wide of the mark) and if the axe is to fall, let it be done with the class that United failed to show Mr Moyse.

I said it before and I will say it again, Stones is not a Centre Back, I believe his true position is in front of the back four, from there he will be able to drive us forward at will.

{Ed025's Note - stones is not a centre back...never a truer word said 1878..

right positives from game, ye it's there we sore it today, took 60 mins but it's there. the players need to do double fitness training for me.
we all know we have the players and it showed it was to late but it's there, it's a start let's be grateful for that. we know rm is going and as for lakaku if i was him i wouldn't be thinking about chips lg, i would be more concerned bout trapping a ball and getting my first touch sorted.
new manager in and mark my words we will have a brilliant summer, the first in a long while we're we don't haggle over players fees.
we will be top 4 i know it and all our misery will have gone, so let's just enjoy what we can of this season and look to next one

any player in this team who wants to leave and try and do better take a good long look at players who have left and thought the grass is greener have stopped dead in there career s.


etid, nsno coyb.

23 Apr 2016 20:18:01
Im so, so glad some of you lot from here aren't on the board. Moyes would be a step backwards. Show some ambition.

Saying it'd be different now that he'd have money, completely forgetting that he had a massive transfer kitty at United.

Pish.

23 Apr 2016 20:27:03
Remind me again what position were Utd in when they sacked him after only 10 months. The fact is it was nothing to do with his ability but his face did not fit, simple as.

23 Apr 2016 20:39:14
yes but he only had 6 months and a crap squad.

23 Apr 2016 21:14:09
He never got a chance at utd after david gill left the new ceo didn't have a clue when it came to buyin players so moyes missed out on his top targets and ended up wid second best I think he'd do well wid a bigger transfer budget.

23 Apr 2016 19:38:45
Well we played better in the second half but I couldn't watch the last few minutes. It is so inevitable that the we lose in extra time I just can't watch it happen. Lukaku was terrible and if he wants to go and anyone is willing to pay 50M pounds then let him go, same for Stones. We can do a lot with 90-100M, however I doubt if any team is stupid enough to pay this type of money for these two.

23 Apr 2016 20:07:29
Agree to better 2nd half performance but. sub of Gerard d should of been made at half time. running at their defence shit themselves.

23 Apr 2016 20:16:34
Ross and John were totally different players 2nd half.
Why?

23 Apr 2016 20:19:16
He shouldn't b taking penalty after the West Ham game. Bainsey would have stuck it away he missed only one penalty for club in my memory. Again no leadership from management to ensure best penalty taker hits the penalty. All that shit started when that clown Mirallas took the ball off babies to miss one . Another money crabber for the trap door 😡😡.

23 Apr 2016 20:40:30
because, I think they all ignored martinezes instructions.

23 Apr 2016 21:01:56
Good players, but the freedom only comes when you have a solid defence. Everton don't have that solid defence so these good players are only able to display their talents intermittently.

23 Apr 2016 19:28:48
Lukaku should never take another pienalty kick again that's 2 he's missed.

23 Apr 2016 19:39:01
He can take them for PSG as far as I'm concerned.
Missed at least four top class striker sitters and blames Besic for sending a header into row Z .
Bill Dean this clown is after a 60m move, he can't control a ball!
Took over penalty taking from more competent takers.
Ok Mr. Agent,60m thanks.
Actually feel sorry for RM tonight because the above and Cleverley should have seen LVG sacked tonight.

23 Apr 2016 19:50:04
Don't think we have to worry about that, he will be off soon and to be honest I'm not bothered. Yeah he is good on his day but his day is very few and far between.

23 Apr 2016 20:13:45
Dont agree with that one bit. Had a bad game in front of goal, but he's scored 25 for us this season. He'll be missed if he leaves, don't even pretend otherwise.

23 Apr 2016 20:17:27
So whos gunna replace him Niasse Kone?

23 Apr 2016 20:37:34
Totally agree lads but please,
He thinks he's worthy of Golden Boot, try learning to trap and control a ball.
He's not Champions League standard he scores goals against crap teams.
In Mouriniho we trust!

23 Apr 2016 21:00:49
We've got 60m for him and more.

23 Apr 2016 22:15:45
It's a hard one to call. Yes, Rom has scored a lot of goals for us this season but he has also missed a lot of 'easy' chances. If he had a better first touch then we would have taken the lead. Really don't understand how Baines was ever taken off penalty duties, think he missed one out of fifteen. Rom has now missed at least two.

23 Apr 2016 19:25:28
Right, we played very well second half and gutted we lost but that should now spell the end of Mr Martinez. Far from taking the Club forward - albeit with supposedly the best Squad since the 80's - he has presided over our lowest finishes in 11 years, made proud statements of there is no plan B, doesn't think goals from free kicks and corners are real goals and the worst home record in our 138 year history. Even Mr Kenwright should admit enough is enough.

23 Apr 2016 19:41:59
Ive got a bad feelin he might be stayin hope i'm wrong.

23 Apr 2016 19:48:37
We didn't play very well second half, we were ok. And ok was a big improvement on the first half.

23 Apr 2016 20:17:27
Shogs, said the same thing myself but if he should we will be relegation material next season, it is obvious that RM and his staff have no intention of changing their methods. It really is time to leave but unfortunately Mr Kenwright does not think like the rest of us.

23 Apr 2016 22:26:29
totally agree with woburn, we wasn't great 2nd half we just started playing a bit. We looked off the pace until the penalty miss but then we realised we could get at them. Now the cup is over, I hope the board see sense and sack this clown.

23 Apr 2016 17:06:21
Team?, my God terrible.

23 Apr 2016 18:17:16
I agree and I feel sorry for besic at right back. Trying his best but is struggling. Gibson is to deep and playing backwards all the time. We have lost this unless we play with some guts, bring on deleufo and mirallas and take off Gibson and cleverly or even barkley.
Come on blue boys!

23 Apr 2016 14:58:12
If it is to be Moyes then I don't think its all bad. Unfortunately we now have to stabilize the club again after the destruction caused by the current clown. Then we can go onto greater things but until the stability comes there will be no success. We have the financial backing to be great again.

23 Apr 2016 20:06:09
Well said mate been saying it for a while but get called the Moyes brigade on here lol.

23 Apr 2016 13:25:09
Rm today please just let the players attack, the fire power we have is very good Infact one of the best in league.

Let them play there game, McCarthy to run in following attackers, and let make a rubbish season not so rubbish with another trip to WEMBLEY.

23 Apr 2016 13:18:04
I will be shouting with the blue army at Wembley. Positive support for the mighty blues today. Come on.

23 Apr 2016 12:12:13
Off to wembley let's hope its a grat day for us blues and let's hope De gea has a bad egg for his breakfast

23 Apr 2016 12:49:45
I hate to say this but I will be happy if we lose and Martinez is gone from our club.
Well happy is the wrong word but I will not be to disappointed I have a feeling quite a few agree with me.

23 Apr 2016 13:02:09
Hope a win but please god allow the Mexit today. Win loose or draw out

23 Apr 2016 13:05:13
I know mate but I want us to win for everyone whose gone.
Quiet funny I know some mancs who feel the same!

23 Apr 2016 13:28:21
Every traveling evertonian deserves a good day and a result . God knows we have been feading on scraps a decent steak is deserved . But still Martinez out the fa cup is not worth the risk we might keep him. We all know the cup elevates you to super srardom like Wigan rise to world beating status since that historic day.

23 Apr 2016 11:40:59
10/ 1 rank outsiders, At Wembley in 68 nobody gave WBA a chance!
Worth a fiver me thinks.

23 Apr 2016 09:01:30
Hope everyone who's going today has a safe journey down to Wembley. We need to forget about everything else when we step into the stadium. Get Wembley rocking from the get go and there's no reason why we can't beat them today. COYB.

23 Apr 2016 08:37:18
Lets put it all to bed now yes we are all feeling the frustration but we really need to lift the lads today if rm can't do it I'm sure we can remember 1984 let's all go again boys for howard and the rest in blue heaven this is for them also let's sing our hearts out ans show everyone what we are about remember WE ARE EVERTON.

23 Apr 2016 01:43:12
I do believe RM is gone at the end of the season, so I will be pulling without hesitation for a 3-1 Everton victory against the Mancs.
