Report: EFL Cup Everton v West Ham Utd Starting Line Ups

Team selection love the midfield if they put a shift in

Playing ok

Looks like the curse of Everton is striking again.

Has been dreadful his first touch especially, could have had a couple but on the whole a poor first half

Lucky to be just one down at half time. Great save from Randolph to deny Richarlison. Need to get Soucek and Bowen on. Noble and Lanzini are not cutting it in midfield.

Snody

What a belter

Snody

Great strike from Snoddy!

Has Anderson lost the ball tonight? God knows what's happened to him

Bowlocks!!

Richarlison has run rings round us tonight, Somebody should just clobber him!!

My wish has been granted!

The scouse!!

Should never play for us again such a pansy

Well that's the end of our current winning 'run' and another Cup we're not going to win this season.

Theyve been the better side

Now we're getting to the embarrassing stakes yet again.

why hasnt that bug eyed twat made a substitution? Is he asleep at home?

That calvert- lewin is quality

Thats that then,the first cup gone.

I think it clearly shows why most of this team is not good enough to get in the "1st team". Haller, Yarmo, Lanz and Andersen totally ineffectual and Nobs too slow. Johnson looks reasonable for the future. The rest are decent squad players or better.

Well I'm really looking forward to the Leicester game now.

Blimey we took that game serious,not one bloody sub,effing joke.

This is unique with absolutely no substitutions for the full 90 minutes. Were the management shit scared to face a player revolt?? Goodness knows what a Sunday player Anderson has turned into, with his loose touches. The only positivity was his energy to put in a tackle or two. Yes, Noble was too slow, while Lanzini was pedestrian today. The only time he was visible were those missed chances to score. Haller with just one spectacular attempt at goal that brought a great save from Pickford, was all he saw of him. Yarmalenko was not that precise today. Rice is definitely not a centre back. Goodness knows why he was wasted in that position. He brings some forward movement when he plays further up as a midfielder. Snodgrass does not look like he is fully fit, though he really scored a spectacular goal. Hopefully, the team that spanked Wolves will show up against Leicester. Guess Moyes did not want to risk any injuries, and the focus is on the PL.

Our Saturday side would have given them a run for their money

I know its a long long time since any silverware came to this club but i think expectations were a bit high ,i never saw the game but i fear the negativity surrounding it could harm our chances against Leicester, for most fans the Carabou cup is still second to the FA cup and even that one isnt doing well ,the emphasise now seems to be top 6 and a place in Europe's elite. Sunday will tell a story one way or the other ,lets put this defeat behind us and see if we can maintain our recent good form against Leicester

That was pretty much the b - side last night albeit an expensive one!!only pluses for me were johnson at RB & Randolph,also snoddy possibly! Nobes legend but his prem days are pretty much behind him

Same old story mate,saving the first team for the prem

Regarding Nobes ,i coulnt agree more with the general opinion that its almost over for him ,i think it really showed against Wolves for the shot time he was on ,rarely seen a player so out of his depth
