Everything feels different now so I'm at the very least expecting a strong performance even if we don't get through, rather than the complete capitulations we've witnessed in the past.

Even those who are not interested in us winning trophies must surely see the benefit of winning tonight to keep the feel good factor and momentum going ?

No one has said they want the team to lose. Some of us would prefer the squad players to play to allow the first team to focus on the league, plus it gives the squad players and kids a chance.

Bailey Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 The two teams I would prefer not to play are at the bottom of the list. The rest have shown a significant enough vulnerability to think we have a great chance of progressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Brentford/Fulham, Aston Vila/Stoke or Newcastle would be the dream draws. We always seem to pull Liverpool whenever we are doing well in a cup competition so wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if that's the ball that we pull, just got to hope in that case that Arteta works some magic and knocks them out :). The two Manchester sides are taking this seriously too, so would be a strong test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 It's not a bad draw to be honest, the two toughest teams are against each other in Arsenal and Manchester City, obviously one will go out which should make things smoother. Brentford vs. Newcastle is a really good tie too, both shite teams that we should really get past so hopefully we can pull from this fixture if we make the semi final. Mourinho taking his foot off the gas and dropping a clanger against Stoke would be great too, the winner will come from either of the Everton/United, Arsenal/City ties. markjazzbassist and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formby Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 I think it's a great draw. For the first time in years, I think our first XI is better than theirs. Much can change injury-wise in the next few months, but I think we will go through. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Wow comment after comment and not a person threatened by an established top 6 team in the slightest.

Cornish Steve Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 How nice it was to read on the BBC website that "joint league leaders Everton" will be playing United. Mind you, it would have been even better to read "mid-table United". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elston Gunnn Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 That’ll be 4 matches in 10 days, from Dec 19 through Dec 28, including 3 at Goodison with Arsenal, Man U, and City. Good we’re showing at least some depth this season. We’ll need it over those 10 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
