Brace yourselves.

Is this on the telly?

At least we'll be able to focus on the league.
-
Have a good feeling about this one 0-2 Vlasic and sig,go on you blue boys!
-
God only knows how many they'll put past us. Gonna be a grim hour and half
-
Losing by 4 or less will be a great result

Apathy will not get rid of Koeman. A stadium full of people booing and staying behind at the end to protest might though......
-
0-0 with a win on pens....
Koeman hailed as a playing a defensive master stroke, Mosh telling Jim White we're going places now etc etc
-
Think we'll win this now
-
Haha what a difference an hour makes, I was just thinking the same. I've gone from, fuckit, cba watching it, we'll probably get bummed 4:0, to I reckon we can have these, BRING IT ON! :D
-
See what team the new boy picks - Leicester at the weekend
-
Ill prob watch this game now
-
We could actually see a game of football .
-
We'll batter these .
-
Win on penalties
-
I'd bring lennon & Mirallas back in, make it hard for these - get back to basics and frustrate them.
-----------Pickford
Kenny Jagielka Williams Baines
Lennon McCarthy Davies Mirallas
----------Rooney
----------Niasse
No gana, and presumably no schneiderlin so McCarthy may come back in with davies centrally, id drop keane & Sigurdsson for this, and give DCL and Vlasic a rest, or at least for the bench.
-
I'm going for a scrappy 1-0 win, with Calvert-Lewin harassing their centre backs for 90 minutes then bagging a late winner, followed by a celebration in which he logs on to NSNO and posts a cheeky selfie of himself in the "DCL - kidding ourselves" thread.
-
The pace that Palace and Watford injected into the game caused Chelsea problems . This is not high on their list of priorities . Davies , Lookman , Miralls , Niasse and Kenny need to start this and don't give them time to settle .

Assisted by Sandro, who starts next to DCL in a proper 4-4-2. Whilst a pilled-out American wears his #9 shirt.
Lids, we're gonna win the Caribou Cup, aren't we?

Gonna be interesting at least. Unsworth. Nice one.

This game just got interesting. Can’t wait to see the side Unsworth puts out.
-
I'm actually looking forward to this, I think unsworth will try something simple but effective, players moral should be higher now the clown has gone.

Ebbrell has only been appointed assistant coach on a temporary basis a few hours ago and he’s aged 12 years already.

Ifs and buts.
If Chelsea play a weakened young team, and Unsworth gives his youngsters a run out, we could Nick this. Imagine the injection of confidence that would cause.

Not sure if you're joking or not. How do you know he didn't and if he did why would they pick him over unsworth

Don't reckon he could be trusted not to damage somebody if we lost - besides, who would carry the water bottles?
-
I'm not joking
Ferguson has worked his way up to first team coach and has held it for nearly 4 years with an ambition to manage Everton
Logical choice to offer caretaker job to someone with existing first team experience
If he wasn't offered it, he has been overlooked(twice) - for what reason?

Cos he is nothing more than a coach and lucky to be it.

Will be interesting the team selection here.
Unsys first game and will want to take the competition seriously so I expect a strong line up. Hopefully Chelsea will rest players.

Then I guess you already knew the answer. Some people want to coach, some want to manage and some like to do both.

Surprised everyone picking Sigurdsson, like the invisible man in open play.

Got a feeling he will play Lookman. He trusts youth

Pickford

Schneiderlin

Whatever the more forward players can or can’t do they all work hard so I’m not too fussed on who plays where for this game.
But given that they do work hard and we’re struggling for creativity we should be pushing much higher up the pitch looking to force mistakes more.
It’s a risk further back but we need to compress the space between defence and forwards to cover for the lack of pace.

I'd be a bit surprised if Schneiderlin was fit for this one. We'll probably see Besic in his place?
Sounds like Chelsea will be making a lot of changes for this one so could be a golden opportunity for us.
-
I wouldn't be shocked if we saw a very young side from Unsworth for this, with the first 11 rested to concentrate on the Leicester game.

Agree one of Koeman's mistakes, ( okay I know it's hindsight, but this is football ) was making far too many changes each week, what another six against Arsenal. No wonder the team couldn't string two passes together, there like strangers.
-
The line-up isnt the question its the attitude. Run through walls is required not fancy football in our situation.

It would be great if we didn't need to bring anyone in. :)

Imagine Unsie giving his team talk. "Now Wayne this is what I want you to do.... Wayne, would you put that fucking phone down and listen to my advice on how to play". Wayne WAYNE come back here!!!
-
Did Unsworth run over your dog or something?
-
Where is your sense of humour? I am very pleased for the man although I definitely do not want him to become our permanent manager. The squad is a shipwreck with at least three major signings required. Unsie can hold the reins probably up to the international break and then see who we get.
-
Cant wait for this now, dont even care if we lose, just want to see us playing with passion and grit. We have the players, time for them to shine.

Pick a team. Play that team. Win/lose as a team. Pick a team.

Nah! Just a sense of humour that is all. I will be there shouting for Unsie with the rest of them.

Lennon, McCarthy, Davies and JJK all possible starters tomorrow.

We have a good chance here. Chelsea will play second string and Unsworth is accustomed to beating Chelsea reserves.

As long as Mirallas doesn’t continue his habit of starting narrow and running narrower ;)
-
I'm realistic enough to know it might be short lived but I'm really excited to see us play again tomorrow. Hopefully with some energy aggression and genuine balance. I'm possibly delusional but I think we'll win tomorrow.
Unsworth possibly wouldn't be my first choice but he might be comfortably my first of what's realistic
-
We have a good chance here. Chelsea will play second string and Unsworth is accustomed to beating Chelsea reserves.
just read theyre playing a couple of youngsters, but because of injuries their playing close to a full side apparently - we have a chance if they're not up for it and expect to walk it

Players showing some urgency, on and off the ball, will be a start - no more slow motion will at least signal a change
Looking forward to it

We needed to sack Koeman, and I love David Unsworth and be hopefully we're gonna come good now and win trophies etc
But...
I'm a little worried that fan expectations are a bit too high for this first game in his caretaker reign
We got bummed 5-2 like 3 days ago. We haven't played well at all this season. Almost every player is out of form. We haven't got the system right once this season and we have injuries and suspensions
I'm just not sure he's going to nail the right formation and personnel and have a slick well oiled machine in place tonight after a few sessions in charge, away at the champions where we haven't won inside 90minutes since 1994/95
Just hope the fume-ometer is forgiving tonight. Hopefully it's non existent and we do win!

That is not a balanced team in my book. We've been seeing something of that ilk all season - it's very Koeman-esque. No width, little pace.
Hoping against hope that we've seen the last of formations of that nature.
No offence like!

Playing Lennon and Mirallas has got me quite happy. Actual wing play will be nice to see.
Think i'm a bit drunk on positivity atm, actually fancy us to get a result or atleast push it to pens.

I am sure most fans know just how low we have sunk and understand it's going to take a bit of time. As long as we look like we give a shit will be enough for me tonight. It's been a long time under Ronald since the team put it on the line for a result. Anything else is a bonus.
Unsworth did not probably help himself with his excellent press conference yesterday he really surprised me how good it was, just what we all wanted to hear, if only for the fact he said 'We' as opposed too Ronald's 'Everton'.

Yes but Mirallas rarely plays like a winger these days. Very much an inside forward.
He is a good finisher though so I’d guess it’d be more for that.
Also there’s the chance that these two are playing as we’re saving some people for a mustn’t lose game on Sunday.
Agree with the last part though :)

No that’s fine!
Apart from Lennon I don’t think anyone else is faster than those two wider players there, however. Given everyone’s form though as long as the wider forwards can run then I’m not too fussed who they are.
I think Rooney is our most reliable scorer but to minimise long sprints I’d leave him in the middle (but ask him to stay up top) where he can close down over shorter distances.
Overall though it’s an intent thing that I was getting at as we’ve been neither one thing or the other this season.
The lack of searing pace is only a massive issue if that’s all you’ve got to bail yourself out.
Playing higher up the pitch on the front foot should reduce this problem as we’d have more of the ball nearer the opposition goal which reduces the need for long sprints which highlight just how slow or fast someone is.

Yeah, I'm expecting nothing from tonight, he's had an hour and a half with the players and that's it. I think we'll see a better performance but that wouldn't take much doing.

Massively agree with the fact there's people being rested for Sunday and so they should be. But with the way the U23s have been playing the last couple of years, I'd be surprised if DU doesn't try and implement that system. I personally think it will work with the group of players we have.

ESPN 3 are showing it so I would imagine Sportsmania will be showing it if I can ever get the fucking thing to work.

Positivity on the ball, aggression off it, a balanced shape, and some sort of semblance of a plan where we can all see what's been worked on in training.
I see that tonight and am happy.

-
Yeah pretty much concur with the general thoughts about this game.
There's no such thing as miracles but great interest in viewing any instantaneous changes that may occur. Not in the playing group as such but more in team spirit, perhaps even some happiness and old fashioned joy of playing returns. Who knows?
It's all very interesting.

not sure on team or formation. but i think we will win,. the players will be amped up, plus Unsworth is more loving than Koeman.. I expect the players who have performed for him over the years for Everton under 23 and in the teams he's helped out in (sheff wed) to be fully motivated and kicking ass.
Pickford
Kenny Holgate Keane Baines ** wouldnt mind Feeney at CB alongside Holgate and Foulds for Baines
Lookman Baningme Davies Mirallas/Vlasic
DCL NIASSTEY
-
Is it doing yearly subscriptions again yet?
I can only see monthly at £12 on SportsMania.rocks but I swear I paid £50 for the year last time
I cant see cos I still have ten days left
The page does advertise all the deals tho
-
Mate hes had one press conference and the amount of optimism is unbelievable. Nothing wrong with it but I do think sometimes we set ourselves up for a fall.
This is just how we roll. I have accepted it, and am riding the wave. La la la, we're gonna win the Caribou Cup!
-
Anyone else hoping for Lennon at RB? Especially if we play 3 at the back.
-
Pickford
Holgate Keane Jags
Lennon Baines
Bennie Rooney?
Lookman Vlasic
DCL/Sandro
-
Anyone else hoping for Lennon at RB? Especially if we play 3 at the back.
NO
-
He's limited to what he can do as we don't have the players to play with a lot of width. We might have a change of mindset but shape-wise we're not going to suddenly come flying at them with chalk on our boots.
-
Anyone else hoping for Lennon at RB? Especially if we play 3 at the back.
i'd rather have Kenny.

I don't care who plays tbh, just hope that's their correct position and they put a bit of effort in
I'm not holding my breathe for tonight, or even the weekend, I'll take any sort of visual improvement

Unsworth trusts Kenny and he's worth regular playing time until Coleman is match fit again.
Plus, I don't think we'll see 3 CBs much, if at all, under Unsworth. His U23s play almost exclusively with a back four, not to mention that we don't really have the right defenders for three at the back.

Have to say, bar the game he came on and we were chasing it I've been a bit underwhelmed by Kenny. Whether or not that's koemans tactics time will tell

Pickford and Vlasic (+DCL)
-

Either have I. But he's young and sort of being thrown out there like DCL. I actually think Martina is at his best(which isn't that good obviously) when we play 3 at the back. So with just 2 centre backs I'd like Kenny. He seems to concentrate on not fucking up and only going forward when the opportunity arises.
-

At his age, given the learning curve at his position, being on the pitch and not looking out of place is positive.
If he becomes a liability, then we'll need to take him out of the firing line. Based on current evidence, I don't see him as a liability.

That's a very fair shout re Kenny. I would start using Holgate almost exclusively at CB, if possible. Like to see him more next to Keane, see if he improves from that.

Interesting midfield plus Mirallas and Lennon largely back in the fold.
I just want to see some hope of improvement from us although I'm not expecting a miracle transformation.
-
Brilliant for Beni B!
Morgan F next?
-
What's a pickdord?
-
Happy to see pace supporting rooney and one of a handful of people happy to see Mc Carthy who I still think has a future here
-
Haven't been that excited by our starring line up for a while.

Balls having training at 8:30, looking forward to this more than any game for a while.

A balances team! What is this?
-
Rooney ruins that for me
Only person who can score though. Hopefully he Unsy has told him to stay in position or he'll suplex him.
-
Vlasic injured?
-
What do we know about this Beni kid? Never heard of him before
-
There for the taking
Without jinxing it, I agree. Weak line up that for them.
-
Unsworth: "Right. Anyone who was here last time i was a manager go sit over there. Anyone who came through the academy...yes, you too Wayne....go join them. Everyone else grab a bib....."
-
Some legs in mf
Beni has masked over that McCarthy is playing and everyone hates him
-
Has Martina been sacked as part of Koeman’s staff?!

Have we a pronunciation for Baningime? I'm thinking Ban-ing-I-me?? Is that the way it's said? So I can pretend to be an expert tomorrow

Intriguing. That's where I'd play Rooney to be honest. Good balance, lots of energy in midfield. Not a fan of Lennon but doesn't matter. Think we'll see Lookman anyway.

playing players in their own positions, what the fuck is going on?

Bit surprised no Vlasic, but hey ho not my choice.

Nice to see Kevin playing
-
The kind of team I've been waiting for all season.
And whilst not ideal or his best position anymore....but with pace either side Rooney should be starting as the striker until someone else can be brought in when the window opens.

@Django (http://www.nsno.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=4371) announced the team about 24 hours ago. Not sure why everyone's just reacting to it now.

This guarantees McCarthy a place in the Ireland team even if he cracks up tonight.

Probably no one believed him.
He's not always right but he regularly gives bits of information that come true long before it's common knowledge.

He played against sunderland last round. He picked up a foot injury against Arsenal so presumably he's been rested

our kit looks like the NFL's Detroit Lions

We look taller
-
Energetic start!
-
Can hear Unsy clear as day.
-
Kenny already with one of passes of the season.

Rooney did pretty well with his first chance, I thought
-
Have we scored yet? I'm going to assume we have.

Forgot we could play with such purpose.
Quick balls and movement? They fucking hated that Dutch twat eh!
Long way to go but a refreshing change

Yep. There's not a giant trail of feces all over the pitch, to let one know a Koeman side has been there.

We’re still no nearer finding a way to put the ball into the opposition net though are we. We look a lot tighter but I’ll be surprised if we have a shot on target tonight.

Am I imagining things, or are we keeping our shape better? Rooney included?

Feel like what we are trying to do isn't going to work with Rooney the man stretching their defence.
-

Course we do. This sort of setup would've worked against Arsenal.
-
This season under Koeman, we were largely a sieve with nothing in attack. At least we look like we are patching up the sieve.
It will take more than "energy" to fix the attack component, especially away at Chelsea.

We’re badly lacking a quality No 10 to at least get his foot on the ball for a few seconds.

Unsworth just called Kenny 'Good boy' :love:

We look much better.
Arsenal had about 400 shots on target at this point last weekend.

Kenny looks goosed already

Unsworth giving players plenty of encouragement here

Wonderful size/speed combo in midfield. Could really be something.

Unsworth for manager. We actually look like a team today.
-
Missing some through ball opportunities but it's nice to see us actually keeping the ball a bit. Will do the defense a world of good, at the very least.

like beningame's work rate when the other team is in possession

A few errors there. Should never have been a corner. Kenny too slow in closing down and Jags messed it up in the middle.
Gonna be tough coming back now, which is the main problem with this setup.

Yeah, I think this was a "get it to 60' even" alignment.

They're going to get a few here, sadly. There's only so much Unsworth can do in such a short time, hope nobody gets annoyed if we get beat, it's just how it is at the moment really.

Still fighting, heads haven't dropped.

Williams..... ughhh

We’re never scoring in a million years here are we.

just fight all 90 minutes, damn it. That's what we need to see.

How are we going to score?
-
Need some speed up front, DCL for Rooney asap
-
Rooney the only one with any quality on the ball.
-
Generally do look more up for this than as of late. Snapping into tackles.
-
I would say Lennon has shown the most quality on the ball so far.
-
Not too bad considering we’ve got a couple of right turkeys 🦃 the starting 11.
-
Are Lennon and Mirallas actually playing? No ones mentioned them yet?
-
Mirallas with the useless long ranger
-
I think Unsworth will go 4-4-2, with a striker coming on for Baningime, when the time is right.
I can't overstate how nice it is to see us actually passing in triangles during build-ups, even if it hasn't amounted to anything yet.
-

Mirallas with the useless long ranger
He’s close to being completely useless.

Not much support for Rooney. Mirallas and Davies need to get closer to him. Lennon has done well tbf

If we can keep it at 1-0 then make some positive subs and have a go in the 2nd half.

It is nice, but it always ends up back on a CB's foot lumping it up. Players are reacting to balls instead of anticipating. Puts us in a triangle that goes nowhere.

I watch Batshuayi and am still angry we never made a run at him. Heads and shoulders above what we have available at striker.

Even though they said they wouldn't, some people are defo expecting too much too soon. He's had 90 minutes with them (and I can already see a difference in shape and organisation).

Judging by the last few pages depression is getting to most of you . Just remind yourself of how our last few games against Chelsea have gone FFS .

Get McCarthy off for DCL/Niasse and stick Rooney in the number 10 role.

That's his name.

Well, shit. Don't I feel stupid. Sorry, Jags!

FUCK OFF WILLIAMS
-
Unsworth defo wanted to ping that out to Bainesy then.
-
they are so much quicker than us transitioning from winning the ball to creating a chance if only unsworth could make us faster
-
Judging by the last few pages depression is getting to most of you . Just remind yourself of how our last few games against Chelsea have gone FFS .
That's besides the point... this is a Chelsea second team.
Unsworth will have wanted to select the strongest team possible to get a win we desperately need.
But the balance of our first team is so bad, that he's gone for youth and peripheral players that fit into an actual system.
-
I'd bring Lookman on. Too many players scared to run with the ball. Whenever we get the ball now we take the super safe option, and there is literally no threat to Chelsea's goal.
Bring on Niasse too given that he's one of the few that have scored a goal.
-
Fucksake, it's taken me 40 minutes to realise that isn't David Luiz after a slight haircut. :snigger:
-
Williams..... ughhh
Hasn't had a bad game so far at all and was certainly not responsible for their goal but I guess it's popular to knock him !
-
Great from Lennon there
-
Funes Mori is better than Williams. Zero question. When is he back? Ever?
-
Well, shit. Don't I feel stupid. Sorry, Jags!
But they dont call him Yags ?
-
Not a bad 1st half - not a disaster - and can still get something. Baines stands out as being disappointing though, terrible in fact, backwards every time
-

I know this isn’t our strongest line-up against their second string but they’re still light years ahead of us in every department. Just highlights the size of the rebuilding job whoever the next boss is.
-
I think Williams may be the most underrate player in Everton history. And I genuinely believe that. He's a bad scape goat at the minute. He's been a lot better defensively than Jags and plays with some fire in his belly at least.
And yes I know his distribution is shit
-
That was good after what we've been watching
-

Just shows how far Koeman bent us over and fucked us .
-
Commentator calling Jags "YAG-ielka" and it's doing my head in.
its really only us and the Portuguese that pronounce the letter J
-
Offering absolutely fuck all going forward.
-
Feel like Ash was much, much better after the goal. And Jags really screwed up conceding the corner (and as BD noted, Kenny didn't cover himself in glory leading up to Jags' error). So, a team effort.
I love watching Lennon play, he contributes in every phase of the game, and nobody ever outworks him.
Mirallas and McCarthy are wasting space, and should be off at the half. I'd move Wayne back to the #10 and bring both Lookman and DCL on to attack. Last sub Sigurdsson for Rooney if needed.
-
Ancient defence and non-existent striker are huge problems.
-
Reality is nobody can put right what is wrong in 48 hours + Chelsea have some very good players - "cupofcosta" or what ever his name is dangerous.
-
We are putting the effort in and offering little. We are closing down well which is a minor improvement than of late. Our shape looks a little better. The new lad looks quite composed and Mc Carthy looks fit enough
-

He's a jarg hardman who actually plays like a coward.
-
Hmm. Can we score a goal..?
Neither side of the pitch are offering much of a threat. Or in the middle either for that matter.
No guarantees either would help change us dramatically but I'd go with Lookman and Niasse on.
-
Swerve Mirallas off. Offers nothing.
Baines is done, isn't he?
-
Next to nothing has changed there but you'd be massively kidding yourself if you expected anything other
Easy things to notice
Kenny's attacking movement is poor and even with McCarthy and Lennon helping we are getting overran on this side
Baines is bang out of form and their right back, who let's face it, ain't a lot is murdering him
McCarthy started well but has faded
Baningime looks a decent lad
Davies is bang out of form. He needs a time out imo
Lennon is so deep it's ridiculous and its not helping him at all.
If that's mirallas trying to prove his point then he's doing it
Rooney or it could be anyone is as isolated as ever
Oh and Williams can not play a simple pass
Lets see what the second half produces
-
Looked competitive and organised. Happy enough that we’re still in it. Imagine Rooney will be subbed early in the 2nd half with a view to the Leicester game.
This is still winnable though; Sig, Niasse and DCL on and let’s make them defend. That’s what been so demoralising this season; the amount of times we finished a game and never really asked anything of the opposition. Just have a go, even if it’s direct and ugly.
-
Our central defenders really do lack any ability whatsoever of playing a simple ball through the middle to centre mid.
You see them shit themselves if they get it and it always goes sideways or backwards
-
I'd keep the same shape and put Lookman on for the ghost on the left.
-
Ancient defence and non-existent striker are huge problems.
This reminds me of the glory days when we used to play the old 4-6 formation under Moyes.
-
Commentator calling Jags "YAG-ielka" and it's doing my head in.
Originally it was pronounced Yag (as indeed it is in the Polish royal dynasty Jagiellon), but when you embed a name into a different language, you have to alter it to fit the vocal character of the host language, so Jags it is.
-

Underrated are you on crack right now.

Ha ha. Heitenga 2.0

That’s the best post of this thread, well done Granty
-
Underrated are you on crack right now.
He's not great no. Nowhere near as bad as everyone bangs on
-
Only caught the last 15min.
mothing seems to have changed, it does seem we run around the field without the ball in a more stylish manner. has no useful effect but it looks good.
-
Our central defenders really do lack any ability whatsoever of playing a simple ball through the middle to centre mid.
You see them shit themselves if they get it and it always goes sideways or backwards
It's worse when they go sideways, both Jags and Williams have a habit of passing to the right foot of the left back and the left foot of the right back
-
Couldn't get a stream working so the EFC commentary had to do. Doesn't sound as bad as what you lot watching it live are saying. Not that they said we played well, just well not really an attacking force and a poor game. Still only 1-0.
-
Get DCL on for Davies and put Rooney in No. 10 position. With the current set up I think we will struggle to reach their box too.
-
He's not great no. Nowhere near as bad as everyone bangs on
Mate just fuck off he's a fucking yard dog.
-
They are dire passers of the ball
-
I'd keep the same shape and put Lookman on for the ghost on the left.
I have literally no idea what he does anymore.
-
Ancient defence and non-existent striker are huge problems.
Really is crazy with what we've spent the age of that defence. Problems abound in this side though. Mirallas and Lennon? They're offering nothing but a bit of legwork. Rooney totally isolated, he shouldn't be playing up top by himself though.
Very little attacking threat from the middle.
Really where do we have the quality we need? Maybe in goal? Coleman when he comes back. Perhaps Bolasie and I'm generally a fan of Davies. That's about it? Others have potential like Lookman and Vlasic but given the money it's crazy that this side seems like it needs such an overhaul.
-
I can't see how many think it's a lot better than it has been. We haven't made their goalie do a thing. And this is a shit Chelsea team
-
Only caught the last 15min.
mothing seems to have changed, it does seem we run around the field without the ball in a more stylish manner. has no useful effect but it looks good.
What do you expect after just 90 minutes of training?
To be fair, the organization is better, and there seems to be more of a plan, but much work to be done.
-
The main difference, for me, is that their heads havent dropped...
-
Can't really expect much more, it was never going to change massively with only a one and a half hour session before they left yesterday. We've a young lad making his debut and two others in midfield who've hardly featured all season (has McCarthy even played?) Mirallas hasn't exactly been tearing it up and Davies has looked short on confidence all season.
It'll come together better after a few more sessions, this game can just be looked at as one of those sessions to get us playing the Unsworth wants us to.
-
I miss Baines when he used to be up at their corner flag for large chunks of the game
-
We're not offering virtually anything. But for the first time in a while, I can see a team, even if some of them have still got the jitters. Much more shape. That's about all really. Can't see where a goal's going to come from.
-
We have a shape, some organisation and we actually run. Those things alone are a big improvement.
We are playing the Champions away from home yano. Yeah they've made changes but so have we.
If Ron was still in charge we'd be out of this game by now.
-
I'd keep the same shape and put Lookman on for the ghost on the left.
Who? there's nobody on the left..
-
Genuine question.... all those moaning that "nothing has changed", what exactly did you expect, given Unsworth has had one training session with the lads?
We look more determined and there is an actual shape to the team. That is all we can realistically ask for from this game.
-
No changes :(
-
The more this season goes on the more you realise Barkley and Lukaku were carrying that team last year. Barkley may have been frustrating as fuck but at least he wasn’t scared of the football like all these lot.
-

I think McCarthy played once, aggravated his injury(ies)? Fuck if I recall which match.

Everyone should have seen that, we just didn't want to.
-
Beni picking the wrong passes there. Rooney pulled into a good position and there was space out wide.
-

Not completely discounting Barkley, but it was all Lukaku.
I genuinely feel for Unsworth as his results will say that he failed after this stint, but the truth is he didn't have a chance to start
-
Davies lad
-
A lot of the issues are our full backs. We just need a lot more from both of them, especially vs a back 3 because the space should be down the sides when doubling up with the wingers.
-
trying to be facetious
More importantly, Con, have you tracked down whether you can add Bennie to the Muslim roster?
-

Bringing on Martina might help. Liability defensively, but he does get forward and we need a goal.
-
How it's took that long I'll never know
-
Bringing on Martina might help. Liability defensively, but he does get forward and we need a goal.
Or Lennon maybe, and Lookman wide right?
-
Need to be pro-active and get subs on now
-
Fuuuck JJ !
-
This Beni looks alright.
He keeps showing for the ball which can't be said of Morgan this season.
-
That's an awful effort from JJK
-
We are a very dirty team aren't we.
-
What a tackle Beni lad
-
We are a very dirty team aren't we.
A team though.
-
Cracking tackle that
-
Not completely discounting Barkley, but it was all Lukaku.
I genuinely feel for Unsworth as his results will say that he failed after this stint, but the truth is he didn't have a chance to start
Give him a chance, he's had 45 minutes game time for christ sake.
-
"Keep doing it Beni"
Quality from Unsworth
-
I'm loving beni.
Boss player in the making there.
JJK flapped it when he had that shot there.
-
To be honest nothing will materially change until January at the very earliest.
We still don’t possess a senior striker, any pace whatsoever nor anything else at centre half or the whole left hand side.
Unsworth might make training fun again and let the lads get their own cereal at will but he can’t bring in the fresh blood we need.
-
Twat... close !
-
Should have had that . Fuck it
-
Unlucky again!
-
Rooney so close
-
Tough for a young player coming into a struggling side but you can see why Kenny wasn't getting much game time.
-
That lad looks like a crackhead version of Luiz.
-
COYB !!!
-
An attempt on target
-
More like it Kenny lad.
-
Kinell
-
Boss stuff this.
Look at how much were pressing them.
-
Just listen to our fans ! Haven't heard that in a while !
-
Easy to say when you’re out of form...but fuck all seems to fall for us.
-
gotta score that lads
-
Come on
-
Two huge chances
Spurned
-
Gah, shame.
At least showing something attacking wise.
-
Good energy, decent system. Just lacking the quality.
-
We are in this game !
-
Gotta be scoring that. Be getting investigated alongside Weinstein for that first touch.
-
How we playing in general?
Not able to watch this.
-
BETTER !
-
Give him a chance, he's had 45 minutes game time for christ sake.
Want nothing more than for him to do well. My expectations are exceptionally low given the attacking resources available, sounds negative, but I honestly think he's a lamb to the slaughter
-
That Beni tackle could be like when phil neville twatted Ronaldo and turned our season............
-
Fuckin miles better
-
How we playing in general?
Not able to watch this.
Yeah, I need to know too
-
Better. Hope we can actually make something out of this pressure.
-
'Kinellll
-
Fuck off
-
Lennon is on fire. If he just had a bit more finishing edge...
-
I'm loving this ...ten times better this half COYB
-
on a more serious note, some of the hairstyles on show here are appalling
-
Stream please lads
-
Can see how this is going to go. We'll push for the equalise, come so close but then concede a second.
Ooo so close again. We should be ahead now.
-
Better
Much better
-
Stream please lads
https://ok.ru/live/376421883530
-
Really enjoying this second half performance.
-
lol at jags then, who me? woot?
-
Having a go at least, much better
-
Ignoring the fact we re one nil down it's worth noting we've started both halves well.
When the fuck did that last happen
-
At least we're going for the ball/tackles. Yes, there's a lurking red card in those but on the other hand: We have lacked a bit of a physical thread/bone saw from the midfield.
-
No relly battle now
-
That Beni tackle could be like when phil neville twatted Ronaldo and turned our season............
We have been saying that every game.
-
Batman is coming on!
-
cesc fucking fabregas, the biggest cunt in football these days
-
Dominic The Phantom?
-
Bad miss that from Lennon, no conviction
-
Enter Batman
-
good change
-
How we playing in general?
Not able to watch this.
Better in the 2nd half. actually had possession in their 18 yard box. :o
-
Good move. Get one of the walking reds off, and hopefully Zorro will slash the fuck out of them.
-
Thwack
-
They will be great on the counter but at least we are pushing for an equaliser, not getting battered.
-
Very nice clearance by Lennon
-
Oh shit it's Robin.
-
It should have been red card on Rudiger... retaliation it's called.
-
Close AGAIN !
-
As long as it isn't the riddler, that was tiresome
-
we deserve a goal here
-
What a fucking shithouse cunt
-
Fuck's sake again
-
Once again should have scored.
-
Their keeper has made more saves than ours !
-
so close, go ed lids
-
Clearly fuck all wrong with him, he should be brought up for that.
-
More chances than we've had in total all season.
-
fucking hell. Not happening for us is it...
-
Jags almost had another to add to his collection
-
Imagine those kicks from Pickford when we sign some genuine pace and presence up top.
-
Not our night
-
fuck me sideways
-
I’m into Pickford in a big way.
-
Cabllero keeping em in it
-
On another day we’d be winning here. Completely different team in just a couple of days.
-
Their keeper having a blinder
-
We are actually in the game, which is a nice change.
-
Get that fuckin mask off , rather he hadn't come on, unless he scores
-
I'll tell you something, if I was a Chelsea fan right now, I'd be pretty nervous.
-
We are asking all the questions. Keep the pressure on.
-
Made up with this.
Not arsed about the result. I've seen enough to know I, and a lot of people calling for this were right.
Best performance of the season by a long way.
-
Unsworth screaming quicker
-
So
Much
Better
-
We're actually losing but you can see the lads confidence and it's still building.
-
Unsworth saying quicker on the touchline so Baines just aimlessly boots it.
Our old guard are such a bunch of pussies.
-
I mean, we still have problems, but belief and a plan and we immediately don't look like relegation fodder anymore.
-
Should be off for two yellows there.
-
We're actually losing but you can see the lads confidence and it's still building.
Exactly. There's another goal in this, whether that's us getting what the performance in the second half deserves or getting hit on the counter.
-
Our finishing Caballero keeping em in it
Fixed.
-
Send that fucking twat off
-
Aaron Lennon is the man.
-
Just got in from a meeting, I take things are going better?
Can anyone be arsed with a small synopsis?
-
we are playing football again
-

-
Did Beni just outpace Pedro...
-
You can see every player is putting in 100%... deffo an extra 10% compared to what they were doing under Koeman.
-
is right Rhino
That is a small synopsis, thanks ;)
-
Just got in from a meeting, I take things are going better?
Can anyone be arsed with a small synopsis?
Tight first half, silly goal conceded out of nothing. We've laid siege in the 2nd half, should've scored 2 or 3 times. Vulnerable to the counter, but worth the risk.
-
Cup tie this
-
Kenny learning what big boy football is all about. He looks fucked.
-
It is better, but at some point we're going to need a bit of luck as results are what really bring confidence.
-
West Ham 2-2 at Spurs WTF !
-
conte is rattled
-
I reckon if we spent between 140-50 million we'd be some team.
-
You can see every player is putting in 100%... deffo an extra 10% compared to what they were doing under Koeman.
belief may not be everything in sport, but it is 100% essential as a base to build upon
-
Lovely play
-
That was nearly so so beautiful.
-
Argh Unlooky
-
Lookman' decision making really holds him back
-
We can do this.
-
what a pass by Davies, Mola needed to shoot quicker
-
Nice bit of play that
-
Nice build up resulting in a chance.
-
Amazing from Jags.
-
brilliant stuff there
-
See. We have got good players.
-
fucking hell how was that not 2-0
-
JAGS!!
-
WOW. Phew.
-
Playing really well. Agressive, moving it about with purpose. Been the better side this half. Best weve played this season by some distance. Fuck almost threw it away
-
It's mad how someone as good as Rooney does something like that pretty much every game.
-
Jagielka
Wow
-
Nice football that. Confidence to try things coming back, presumably because they know they're not getting hooked next game.
-
Fucking Rooney yiou dickhead
-
Tight first half, silly goal conceded out of nothing. We've laid siege in the 2nd half, should've scored 2 or 3 times. Vulnerable to the counter, but worth the risk.
Thanks great write up. Sad I missed it, bloody kids football meeting.
-
It's mad how someone as good as Rooney does something like that pretty much every game.
He does. Pisses me off.
-
two massive balls collide with the post then
-
Rooney has had so many of those sloppy passes in midfield this season. Always seems like one pretty terrible one per game. Really got away with that one.
-
Jags there, superb
-
50-year old Jagielka outran Batshuayi to that ball. That's how much he wanted it.
And people say he's not captain-worthy. Bollocks.
-
Great stuff Yags
-
I wish Rooney would just fuck off. He's our 3rd best number 10. And poor as an out and out striker. He shouldn't get a game come January
-
From our best bit of football this season to what could of been 2-0 in a heartbeat but for some great defending by Jags
-
I wish Rooney would just fuck off. He's our 3rd best number 10. And poor as an out and out striker. He shouldn't get a game come January
Our top scorer like.
-
He’s gonna have purple knackers in the morning. Ooooffff.
-
fucking hell, im so behind. Thought YAGS had scored.
-
Just fuck off, Caballero!
-
FUCK off the bar!!!
-
How the fuck are we not level
-
Great effort
-
I wish Rooney would just fuck off. He's our 3rd best number 10. And poor as an out and out striker. He shouldn't get a game come January
Rhino is pulling him for Niasse
-
Come on, we should be level.. minimum.
-
Fuck. Thought hed scored then
-
If we score, we'll win this.
-
Unsworth hasn't sat down all game, brilliant to see
-
Oh Lookman...so close.
-
No complaints this half.
We've been well good.
-
Fuck!
-
What a strike by Mola. We are cursed today.
-
Contrary to popular belief Jags legs are in fact still there. ;)
-
Lookman!! So close
-
Best half of football away from home since January.
-
Where has all the confidence come from?
-
Rooney would be much more effective as a defensive mid.
-
Are we going with Yags now instead of Jags?
-
Where has all the confidence come from?
We pulled in the anchor.
-
"Second half, Everton have been by far the better side"... how good does that sound.
-
Where has all the confidence come from?
A manager that speaks to and encourages the players.
-
Unsworth hasn't sat down all game, brilliant to see
Piles ?
-
Are we going with Yags now instead of Jags?
If you're not from Liverpool, probably.
-
Contrary to popular belief Jags legs are in fact still there. ;)
One of them is still in Bats arse crack
-
A manager that speaks to and encourages the players.
First rule of management. It's plain to see Ronald had just fucked everyone off.
-
our pressing has been boss this half
-
A very rare 90 mins for Mirallas
-
Niasse madly leaping at the goal kick because OF COURSE HE IS.
-
Rooney would be much more effective as a defensive mid.
Yikes, nah hasn't got the positioning sense or legs for back there.
He should just be getting limited chances at what he's good at. He can still chip in with goals.
-
Not a single outfield player that we bought this summer is on the pitch.
Telling.
-
I think the confidence comes from actually having some idea what to do in possession. Players feel like they might actually get the ball, which leads to better movement and so on.
A team can only chase after scraps for so long. We were well past that point with Koeman.
-
Fucking so annoyed we’re not getting anything out of this. But only because we actually deserve it - and it’s been a while
-
Well in Kev. Do him properly next time!
-
Get in, hopefully mirallas is looking at a ban for that.
-
Thought Unsworth was gonna stick a boot in there.
-
What a piece of shit fabregas is
-
Mirallas hates him some Fabregas.
Not the first time something like that has happened between them.
-
Unsworth can take it as a compliment that they've felt the need to bring Fabregas, Pedro and Morata on.
-
Not a single outfield player that we bought this summer is on the pitch.
Telling.
And the best half of football all season.
-
bloody stream down
-
Fucking so annoyed we’re not getting anything out of this. But only because we actually deserve it - and it’s been a while
True, but we won't give up because of one match (Mickey Mouse cup!) and it doesn't hurt us in the Table. Get something from Leicester, and build from there.

Fabregas is a total shit bag
Tries to make everything into a booking or a sending off
Love it when someone does actually catch him and get away with it
Willians touch is unreal
Benni performing to a higher standard than Gana or Schneiderlin have so far this season
-
Its a shit cup anyway
Much improved performance
-
Still contributes the square root of nothing.
He had a couple of decent crosses second half, but yeah it's not enough.
-
Damn just seen the Chelsea line up, it's shite, shame we couldn't capitalise.
-
fuck off
-
When did Baines become a long ball merchant?
-
Bin that fucking freekick routine
Ridiculous
-
WTF was that? Put it in the box.
-
I would have liked that a lot better if Lookman had looked for a pass into the box.
-
Schneiderlin should be told to keep his match day boots at home for the next week or so.
-
Bin that fucking freekick routine
Ridiculous
What a total wasted opportunity !
-
so unfair. i hate football
-
should have had a look in the box then..
-
Decent goal that
-
Short free kicks and corners in the last minute when you are a goal down are unforgivable
Get it in the Fucking mixer!
-
Cunts
-
Spawny cunts. There's no justice.
-
CNt argue with that
Twats
-
poxy stream :(
-
He's a ridiculous cunt that Willian.
-
Dang.
-
Cruel that but brilliant you have to say. Not dampened my mood at all overall.
-
Oh just fuck off. We didn't deserve that
-
We've got better as the game has gone on. Actually unlucky not to go level for a while. Some real positives for certain tonight.
-
Cunts!! Didnt deserve that. Great second half. Shame we couldnt quite get the result we deserved
-
My stream is about 9 minutes behind

DCL goal come onnnn
-
GET THE FUCK IN
-
Nice finish from DCL
-
Good goal
-
Those are the type of players we will never see at Goodison Park unfortunately. Match winners.
-
and of course we score immediately after
-
Niasse made that
-
Well done Oumar! (and Calvert-Lewein too)
-
Ah well.
Shame really as that Chelsea line up was shite.
Kick on in the league now, I am calling it now Everton are NEVER winning this complete farce of a cup.
-
That was some top Niasse-ing from Niasse.
-
Haha! We deserved that goal, well done DCL!
-
Well done Kenny in getting out of the way for that goal ! That both you cost us now !
-
Enjoyed that more than most games this year .. unlucky boys well played ...their keeper was on form .
-
Robbed.
Great effort lads.
-
So so unlucky that. Probably the first game this season we've not deserved to lose.
A lot of positives to take from it.
-
Those are the type of players we will never see at Goodison Park unfortunately. Match winners.
No need to praise them
-
Grafting to the last
That was a defeat we can actually take some pride from
-
What happened to adding time on for goals ffs ?
-
Im gutted you know, but fucking proud
-
A positive performance and a decent start for Unsworth
-
What we've seen is that you can't make miracles in a single training session. No big surprises there.
But we created chances (at least in the 2nd half), we pressed them hard, we played like a team in poor form, not like 11 individuals in poor form, we showed some of the elements that could be used to win games.
And a promising debut for Beni.
-
Fucking loads better. However long it's for, we've actually got a manager on the sidelines now.
Can't wait for the weekend already.
-
Positives were we looked more balanced, and we did have a decent amount of pressure 2nd half and were able to create some decent chances. Rooney was the most blatant missed opportunity.
Negatives, we need a result. Also the Chelsea line up was pretty second rate by their standards whereas we had a lot of our first XI out.
We need a result. We desperately need to find reliable ways to create and score.
Not a particularly big black mark against Unsworth but it underlines the challenges ahead.
-
a proper performance from a proper Everton team there
Baningime is boss
-
lots of positives there to work on going forward, unlucky lads
-
we've got things to look forward to now.
-
Made up with that.
A lot of positives to be taken from that.
Is right rhino
-
Great half considering our form all season. Unsworth in!!
-
Gutted, no luck whatsoever tonight.
Typical Everton way to go out of a cup
-
This is only his first game. Unsy has us back on track and we WILL improve.
-
Well done Kenny in getting out of the way for that goal ! That both you cost us now !
The lad isn't all that is he. Not just on tonight's performance but in general. You can see why Koeman bought Martina really, we couldn't go into a season with just Kenny and Holgate in that position.
-
Niasse does all the dirty work, doesn't he?
-
good second half. bodes well...
-
Rooney is a fucking liability
-
Composed swapping feet there from Dom
-
Great second half, so many positives to take from that
Beni beningime, I salute you
-
Our best performance this season, can take heart in that.
-
It just looks right having Unsworth in the technical area not some overpaid foreign manager. Proud to be a blue again tonight.
-
The young lad looks the part, he's composed in possession, thought Mc Carthy looked fine first half and we looked an actual threat second half. Nice for Calvert Lewin to get the goal, the lad's earned one.
-
That deserves a :clap:
-
a proper performance from a proper Everton team there
Baningime is boss
Looks a real talent. Wouldn't like a 50-50 with him.
-
played like a team
-
So royally pissed off we didn’t get something
My apathy appears to have gone
-
We at least took part in the fight tonight.
-
The most Everton end to a game, fuck off. Dignity back though. Played well.
-
And thank god we don't have any more silly cup fixtures to add to schedule
In all seriousness, could do without them
-
Rooney is a fucking liability
He thinks he's the big I am, the way he struts around. Yeah, he's scored most for us this season, but I always feel he's in the team to the detriment of it.
-
Gutted we lost, didn't deserve to.
So much better, bring on Leicester!
-
We were the better side for the majority of that game, one of the few times we've been able to say that this season, their second goal was brilliant, their first goal was down to bad marking and having no one on the posts.
Much improved performance.
Lookman should be starting.
-
This match just showed the importance of pressing from the front. A team like Chelsea, even though their 2nd side team, was just not comfortable when we pressed them and gave them very little time on the ball.
-
Beni for 1st team, week in and week out. He's a matchup nightmare for anybody, physically.
-
No need to praise them
Why? Players like Willian are what football is all about. The lad is top quality. Not ashamed to say I like watching him play.
-
Second half performance made me proud best performance of the season by a country mile, we outplayed, outstripped and out fought Chelsea, how the fuck we are out is beyond me.
-
The lad isn't all that is he. Not just on tonight's performance but in general. You can see why Koeman bought Martina really, we couldn't go into a season with just Kenny and Holgate in that position.
He's looked a bit off the pace these last two games. Hopefully Coleman isn't too far away from being back.
-
Oh well! A much better performance. Gives me hope for the Leicester game, plus a goal late on. :)
-
He thinks he's the big I am, the way he struts around. Yeah, he's scored most for us this season, but I always feel he's in the team to the detriment of it.
Definitely he has ruined the shape of any team he has been in for the last few years. Strutting around without any thought to positional responsibilities. No need for him.
A vanity project all round.
-
Never thought Niasse's complete inability to control a ball would ever work in our favour. :)
Good second half performance and plenty to build on. It's not going to be easy but it just shows how far a bit of belief and encouragement can go.
-
Willian always seems to score past us
Genuinely feel sorry for Pickford, he didn't even make a catch that I can recall but had no chance with either goal
-
Really good 2nd half performance
Niasse should have come on for Rooney earlier, his pace was more likely to cause problems
DCL was effective when he came on, he will do well as a super sub I think for a bit
Lookman good when he came on
Man of the match, well it's got to be that man Beni Baningime, looks Fucking class.tenacious tackler and uses the ball well
Overall good fighting spirit, much better performance. Mood certainly seems better at the club already
-
Lots of positives there ;taking into account the Chelsea starting line up). Some great pressing, nice passing and creating chances, some heart, the young lad played well. I'd drop Rooney and play Sig in the 10 role.
-
Rooney is a fucking liability
Niasse has just as many goals from open play, and now more assists (1), and nobody insists that he is indispensable to the attack/starting XI.
Despite what, 25% of the total minutes played? It's time to accept reality on this one.
-
He thinks he's the big I am, the way he struts around. Yeah, he's scored most for us this season, but I always feel he's in the team to the detriment of it.
The fuckin vanity project
-
The lad isn't all that is he. Not just on tonight's performance but in general. You can see why Koeman bought Martina really, we couldn't go into a season with just Kenny and Holgate in that position.
In the first half he played 2 cutting balls through to Rooney.. awesome balls, the more Kenny plays, the better you will see him get. no one really expected Willian to shoot let alone do the one two, its weak blaming Kenny for that..
the lad is going to be better than you envision.
anyway.. happy with the 2nd half performance, played pretty well, probably the most cohesive we have played (2nd half) lots of chances, we out played/out muscled the champions in the 2nd half.
Wish we had started with DCL and Niasse, other than that, lots of bright spots. actually feel confident going into our next match.. cant recall that with Koeman in charge.
-
Got to be delighted with the effort and commitment levels, especially in that second half. Every player grew into that game, especially Baines. Confidence will take a while to come back, but more performances like that will do it. DCL will be glad to get another under his belt too, will do him the world of good. No negatives from me at all after this, I asked them to show some heart and they have. Onwards and upwards.
-

Now I'm sceptical of Moshiri's genuine football knowledge but if he has some he'd see in that second half a completely different side, with not one new signing finishing the game (apart from Pickford). Result didn't really matter, we're on the right track.
-
Lost. But lost with pride. I can take that, especially with the chances we created. The young boys on the midfield reminded me of something there once was. Tackles, passion, playing for the team. I think Rhino's touch was already clearly there.
We'll be alright.
-
Personally thought Rooney did OK. He looked better when dcl came on but hey ho
-
That sort of effort and level will get us plenty of better results going forward.
I feel like a weight has lifted... we WILL be ok.
-
Play like that on Sunday and 3 points will be ours
-
Fans were fuckin boss

So many recruitment mistakes this summer.

Hope the likes of Sigurdsson, Klassen, Sandro and Schneiderlin were watching that tonight just to remind them what footballers fucking are.

oh, how I love to see an Everton side that tackles. Clean, fast, and hard. Beni really set the tone, and ran the match.
-
I'm more worried about Davies form at the moment than Rooney's think he needs a break and hopefully having Baningime and Mc Carthy as options will allow him to have a break.
-
Personally thought Rooney did OK. He looked better when dcl came on but hey ho
If he's up there, he can't be by himself. Has to be part of a two. He's chasing shadows otherwise.

It’s weird feeling delighted despite the fact we lost. We might not be relegated by Xmas if we put in those types of performances.
-

He improved markedly second half but that doesn't say a lot based on his first half

that bambininge? is that right ? WOW what a tackler, didnt know we had him
-
I'm more worried about Davies form at the moment than Rooney's think he needs a break and hopefully having Baningime and Mc Carthy as options will allow him to have a break.
Yeh he's been struggling for a while now. It's been a pretty big ascent for the lad in the space of 12 months, wouldn't hurt to have a breather.
-
If he's up there, he can't be by himself. Has to be part of a two. He's chasing shadows otherwise.
Defo
He looked far better off dcl
-

Yeah, I'm a fan but he's not be on the same form as last year and perhaps he's trying too hard at this point. Still had some nice touches mind you.
-

Totally right no longer has the legs to be a lone striker.

Turn on the stream midway the 2nd half to see Rooney in the left back position.
Fuck OFF!!
He just needs to stick either directly up top or just in behind the striker
-
2nd half, our best performance all season, sort of irks not to get owt of the game
-
Ronald who?
-
Yeah he's going to be sound but he's very headless chicken this season. He's trying much too hard and making too many mistakes
-
Wasn't it said that Koeman basically fucked the U23s off. And the whole time we've had Beni waiting. Bet Unsworth will take great delight in that display from the kid.
-
Whatever unsworth said at half time he changed it from a Koeman performance to a decent watch.
-
Rooney did ok tonight. Certainly wasn't a Terrible performance.
We are badly missing Coleman though, Kenny isn't bad, but he's nowhere near Coleman's level (and not expected to be).
Benni B was decent tonight, tidy little players, going a bit OTT with MOTM shouts though.
All the team played really Well, Williams should just be told to never ever pass the ball, just twat it.
-

Steady on!
-
I can't remember the last time I was this upbeat after a defeat, which is admittedly a weird feeling.
-
That's the Everton we want to see
-
Enjoyed that game, especially the second half. Yes we lost but:
- The effort was there.
- The response was positive
- We dominated Chelsea, at their home stadium and set up quite a number of chances
- Chelsea won with the help of their big guns - Morata, Pedro, Willian and Fabregas - at the end
- We responded brilliantly when we were 2-0 down.
- Beningame put in a good performance and showed no fear against Chelsea
- Some will say we were playing Chelsea reserves but we played without Coleman, Bolasie, Barkley, Sigurdsson, Klaassen, Gana, Schneiderlin, Keane, Vlasic, that's over £100m worth of potential!
Of course there are a lot of improvements that need to be made but considering David Unsworth only found out after the weekend that he would be in charge and only had one 90 minute training session to prepare for this game, I am feeling a hell of a lot more optimistic than anytime in the last couple of months.
Onwards and upwards.
-
Wasn't it said that Koeman basically fucked the U23s off. And the whole time we've had Beni waiting. Bet Unsworth will take great delight in that display from the kid.
To think we were even playing Besic ahead of him. He deserves binning just for that.
-

Why? Players like Willian are what football is all about. The lad is top quality. Not ashamed to say I like watching him play.
Because.... this is Everton... they (Willain has been Chelsea'a best player for over two years) are very good there is no doubt about that but it is so easy for everyone to see that there is no need to tell us that ;) ... but this is just my opinion nothing more. But why tell us that we will never get a ball winner like that? How on earth could you know that?
-
Created about 5 or 6 chances on another day a couple would have gone in, atleast we created, that's as many as we probably have done in the last dozen games. Play like that on sunday and we'll get the 3 points.
-

I saw him a couple of times for the U23s last year and he was head and shoulders above the level of that league. If you watch ressie matches, you will know how rarely players close down and tackle properly, he did all of that for 90 minutes, like a maniac. But I don't think he was ready last season yet, this season however could be his breakthrough.
-

I said players like Willian are unfortunately never going to end up at Everton. It's a fair statement. The lad is in the top tier of talent and it's a market we're not in I'm afraid. Just telling it like it is, I wish it wasn't true.
-
Sounds like we played well. What channel and time are the highlights on?
-
Many positives to take from that second half. Still lack a cutting edge up front, but at least we were creating chances today.
The negatives - the different pronunciations of Baningime's name. He's going to be a fixture in our squad on that showing so we need to get it nailed.
I think it's Banning - Gimme, as in, 'well done for Banning that boring twat @Realist (http://www.nsno.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=6621)' and 'You don't need to Gimme a reason to ban that morose twat @Realist (http://www.nsno.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=6621).

Hope he keeps most of that team in, they deserve it.
Also show Glyfi and Co. that they dont have any automatic right to a place, £45m or not.
-
I'm not going to get too excited because the reality is we lost, and I don't like losing and won't celebrate it. BUT huge improvements in that performance. Who knows if it's sustainable, but still pretty impressive especially after one training session.
-

I think that will be a relief for them, and with less pressure and better organisation their performances might start to pick up. Or they might not, we'll have to wait and see. Sigurdsson we know is not a bad player, Klaassen I'm not so sure about.
-
Say what you like about Niasse's technical ability but he's an honest nuisance in the final third and things happen when he comes off the bench. He'll get a bear hug from Unsy in the dressing room, poor lad.

-
Well our goal was just fucking forced all the way in from the centre circle to the back of the net by sheer willpower.
Happy to be an Evertonian tonight - despite the loss. What a turnaround in feeling.
Hope the team take a lot from that performance because we have some fringe players and new signings who could be really good for us this season if they get their confidence back.
-
We've got our Everton back boys.
Shed a tear at the end when Rhino gave it the chest pump.
-
We brought It to them second half, they got lucky with the double post at the end there from Willian.
The second half shows we can play with some grit and I hope this goes into Sundays game which is more important.
-
Pleased with the performance, Sundays game is way more important
-
When Mourinho had his worst managerial time at Chelsea there was no doubt that Willain was his only player that never kind of "deserted" him. Willain is one of the best players in the world at the moment in my opinion.
Despite being Everton fans we can appreciate other teams players. It's very blinkered not too

Yolly good
-
Someone put 50p in Ari.

It was positive, but the bar of late was set so very low.
Ultimately, we need results. Hope we can pick up where we left off 2nd half and get a result in the PL.
-
We've got our Everton back boys.

Yeah he's painful to watch these days. Sad for him but worse for us. It's a problem too because if we had a true attacking threat in that position then you'd think that might help free up our attacking elsewhere in the team and so on.
-

Wasn’t a calamity at all tonight?
Also a lot more involved higher up the pitch as Mirallas held his position well.
-
Missed most of the first half but we looked miles better in the second half than at any time so far this season.
All the young lads did themselves proud and a few of the old guard looked a lot more like their old selves.
-

Second half I thought he was very good and as you say that had a lot to do with mirallas holding his position
Same for Kenny who got into the game as Lennon stepped off his toes and held his position

Stick a fucking fork in Baines as I think the poor cunts done.
He’s always seemed a tad fragile in confidence, so I’m hoping the recent events have just taken more of him than others.
Fuck it though even though we lost I don’t want to moan as my/our Everton showed signs of life today, for the first time in a while, so onwards and upwards

After the initial excitement of rhino in charge and a new debutant, I thought the 1st half was pretty much the usual us under RK.
The goal we conceded 1st half was absolutely pathetic, leaving a player unmarked on the back stick like that is poor. Other than for that goal and apart from the Willian goal against very tired legs, I thought we nullified them pretty well.
Second half we were like a different side. One I haven't seen in a long long time. Crazy how we've got a model pro like Aaron Lennon who is blessed with pace and link up play unable to get in a side crying out for width.
I feel like this could be a resurrection for a number of members of the squad which will ensure a real feel good factor around us.
It's early, early days but hearing Unsworth's words of encouragement and passion from the touchline I think it's only a matter of time before we see OUR Everton back.

It's early, early days but hearing Unsworth's words of encouragement and passion from the touchline I think it's only a matter of time before we see OUR Everton back.
Lennon and Jags really stood out for me in the second half, if nothing else, for their sheer determination.

Jags has been such a player for us that it kind of goes as a given for me that he'll give his all.
Lennon was just forgotten about for me, never thought we'd see him again and he's one of my favourite players when he plays like that.
Give him his due as well, Ashley Williams for as limited and shite as he is, has really stepped it up in recent weeks. Just really seems like he wants it to work for us.

Such a marked improvement from the game against Arsenal...

Brainstorming on a new song, so it's In a raw form at the moment
To the tune of The Lion Sleeps tonight
In the midfield, the mighty midfield, The Beni plays tonight

Was thinking more along the lines of 'Beni Baningime(A man in the midfield)....' to the Abba song?

After the initial excitement of rhino in charge and a new debutant, I thought the 1st half was pretty much the usual us under RK.
The goal we conceded 1st half was absolutely pathetic, leaving a player unmarked on the back stick like that is poor. Other than for that goal and apart from the Willian goal against very tired legs, I thought we nullified them pretty well.

The switch to 4-2-3-1 in the 2nd, with Davies pushed up to the 10 role reduced the distances between midfield and the attackers which helped both getting closer with the pressing and also our own ball retention.

I mean, with that size, speed, and tackling ability...what more can you ask in terms of raw material for a DM?
If we stay with 3 in midfield, why not Davies, Beni, Gana?
In games where we’re expecting to have good amounts of possession it might be a struggle creatively with possession.
We’d probably have to play a more creative player instead of either Mirallas or Lennon who are also direct players.

Hope the likes of Sigurdsson, Klassen, Sandro and Schneiderlin were watching that tonight just to remind them what footballers fucking are.
Bit harsh: they've been shit but no worse than most who we saw had vastly improved last night. They deserve the same clean slate
-
There seemed to be a lot more trust out there too, which meant players weren't on top of each other trying to help and getting in the way, so when we won the ball back we had good shape and players were where they should be.
I think it says a lot about the change in attitude that there is not only trust in each other on the pitch - but in young players like Davies, Kenny and Super-Beni to take care of the ball and use it well.
Apart from Rooney of course. I love him but he's got to stop thinking he's the best player in the squad (even though he is) and stop hunting for the ball in all areas of the pitch to help out his teammates (because it doesn't).

Under Koeman we had the footballing equivalent of Erectile Dysfunction but tonight we had a good semi which shows signs that this bad boy will be up, erect and firing on all cylinders again soon.
I thought it was a fourth round game not a semi?

Thats clever, very clever

Really wish Jags could play every game. Amazing how he has been our best CB for nearly a decade now.
And realistically speaking we should have upgraded 5 years ago. We hold on to players too long and struggle to replace or upgrade.

Wed probably have to play a more creative player instead of either Mirallas or Lennon who are also direct players.
Vlasic for Mirallas every week from now on for me. Get the lad a run of games to learn the position and create some understanding with Baines. He's the first player since Ossie and Pienaar who you can fizz a ball in to and know it'll stick. Baines will have some comfort knowing he can fire his diagonal balls in and get on his bike for a return knowing he's not left a huge gap to be exposed.
I would go as far as saying get out some old clips of Pienaar in his pomp of what we need from that side. Unsworth will get that. The ability to link, buy cheap free kicks, play reverse passes and generally be a creative outlet from the left. Vlasic has more in his locker offensively too it looks like.

How's about
Oh Beni beningime to the same tune of oh Kevin mirallas

Anyone who can get Baningime to scan to the lyrics of a well known song deserves all the passes in the book. I salute you Stealth.
