You'd be better off looking for 11 better players.

He is just fishing for a reaction, just ignore him he will tire and go away

Was that aimed at me? wasn't fishing for anything ... The manager is not your problem. He was the greatest thing since sliced bread last season. The problem is some of the players' attitude and work rate. Baines just doesn't look that bothered to me. Maybe Martinez should ship a couple of the complacent ones out and that might light a fire under some of their sorry arses.

A lot of them look too comfortable. It IS the manager's job to get the best performances out of his players but too many have underperformed for him thIs season IMO.

Very dificult indeed. I'm on my way to goodison. 570 mile round trip.

Hope it's worth it. Will be back just in time for motd.

Great result today the lads really worked for it by all accounts. Just hope this is a turning point. Onward and upwards COYB. Worth the 570 round trip Hairy.

Cracking day out. Well worth it and when doing it on the train I cant see why I don't do it more often.

I hope weve turned a corner. There were problems today but on the whole id have taken a point from city any day.

Rom looked better and without sounding like a entitled redste there was some iffy decsions that didnt go our way. Barclay looks fat and not bothered. Suprised with that tbh.

I think the league has figured us out and that with the injurys weve had has been the reason we find ourselves with 22 points.

The old lady is old. Goodison is a magical place but time to get the stadium move sorted properly.

I'll remind you of that in 30 mins time...

Hells Bells, LUKAKU!!!!!!!

Balls. My stream halted just before Robles took his. I assume he hit the bar or something?

[HairyMaclary]

Balls. Great effort though.

Fair play to the 3000 fans that travelled down.

[RichB]

Bad luck, and it comes down to luck in the end. Great game, well contested between two teams that you couldn't split. I guess our goalie was just better on the night

[anonymous-user]

Had a mild cardiac during the shoot out, not overly upset, great game of footy, now let's get some points on the board!

[hornetrider]

Blessing in disguise, time to concentrate on the league and avoid the drop.

Tell that to the thousands of Everton fans still in London

I hate that type of talk ! Best off out of a cup ?? If football is not about winning competitions you are in then wtf it's all about!!

Winning that game or going on a cup run can give the team and fans a hell of a lift ! Now you will be even more anxious , anything but a good thing for you ! Shame as was a good game

Agree with that, love the cup competitions. I may change my opinion after tonight though.
