I can’t remember the amount of times I’ve missed work after a good night out?. Nothing to see here

According to the manager, it was the player apologised who for his performance in the changing room after the Chelsea game, Christy!

Another bollocks to your dream final, it will have to be then Philip!

Was sending him back to City after his injury an option last season Dave, I couldn’t see the logic in keeping him especially as City wanted silly money for him.

No thanks, Eric. The resolution to the problem is NOT to make our critically small squad even smaller to “cut our losses” — we’ve got 12 games between now and the opening of the January window, and we’re not going to make it through that stretch with no injuries.

I dont feel Jack is an us type of man. We need all hands on deck, and pissy sissy can’t go 5 mins without a topple. What a waste of wages, surely would have been better suited somewhere else. Slows the play down when we need speed .

well looking at the other quarter final fixtures , we can forecast that the winner of fleetwood v everton tie will not play the winner of palace v sunderland …after all we can’t have the ‘small clubs’ spoiling the dream final of city v l’pool …

Come on, Dibling slows us down just as much as Grealish does.

He has form it’s 12 months since he had a good game.we can’t afford to have him send him back. Give George and Dibling the opportunity. Grealish slows us down too much. Sorry Jack but you had your chance.

Patric you go to Everton’s games do you really think that Grealish was Everton’s most creative player last season, he played in parts he was never totally involved in the game, preserving his energy and happy to do so stuck out on the wing for long periods then loitering out there after releasing the ball instead of moving and finding space to receive the ball again. He has been even less involved this season. Why was he brought back this season on the same obscene wages that he got last year.

Mark have a look at a newsnow article that came in at 10AM this morning “Raging Joelinton out for revenge as Jordon Pickford takes it too far with Newcastle insult”. Their sense of entitlement is hilarious. Not sure about winning the singing I was expecting them to be much louder and dreading it. The the best part was when we sang Your support is Effing shit back at them. Reminded me of when we turned their Peter Reid song back on them.

Theres a very fine line between ‘liking a drink’ and being a alcholic. Not sure where Jack is but sounds like me might be very close to the latter. Put him on a final warning and maybe get himsome councilling as well, but he very much should be in the last chance saloon now (no pun intended).

John i think mark was a caddie

Barney do you want 3 1 or nil nil then penalties .

John in all sports these type of lads and girls do crazy things trust me.One time in Tokyo we where having a few beers in this bar and the Australian womens team came in they had just beaten Japan 1 nil and the next 4 or 5 hours where beyind belief Absolutely outrageous.the great Howard Kendall believed his players should enjoy themseleves and i know many of them went Awol john.This story about the pride of britain awards thing worries me because nothing is going around on social media to say he blew out someone would of got there cameras on it.

As an atheist, I still find “let ye without sin cast the first stone” very apt.

Interesting Mark,when you say you’ve been in sport for a long time, can you expand on that please.

If reports/rumours are correct, this all started over a week ago when he attended the pride of Britain awards, and by all accounts a social event with free booze is all a bit much for Jack Grealish, (shades of Dele?) which resulted in an extended “bender”?It’s not unexpected, and something that’s happened many times in the past, with this writer having actually witnessed him firsthand lying in a gutter in Majorca, during his Villa days.It’s not that I’m devoid of sympathy for those with addictions, but we’ve been here before, and after all we’re not a rehab clinic. And let’s not pretend that his contributions this season have been anything other than well below par.Therefore, it would seem to me the perfect opportunity to cut our losses on an expensive luxury that’s failing to deliver and we can Ill afford. As he’s still on loan, and presumably his contract contains disciplinary clauses, which we should use to terminate the loan and return him to City?

Mike well a lot of clubs have issues like jack.He went missing last xmas for a couple of games so if he thinks its ok then it wont bother him a quick sorry and he will be back in the squad for coventry next friday .My only worry is it might be worse this time for Everton fc to make it public.Ive been in sport for a long time and lots of these things happen its best to just forget it and crack on .We definetly need jack and are better squad wise with him so hopefully its sorted quickly and we move on .Thats the only way for Everton fc.

Against a better team we could still have been in trouble. We gave them too many chances.

Why do you say that Dave? Have you heard something ?

The TW love-in continues with last ditch Tarks. It will never die. It will continue long after he is finished. Just like it did with Seamus.NINE out of ten ???? WTF ????The guy would have been sent off if VAR was a factor. The way he shit himself when that Brazilian fanny Joelinton jumped back up after he pushed him from behind to the ground does not bode well for Monday. He will be exploited.7/10 for an all too rare game when he wasnt responsible for us conceding. would have sufficed.As for marking Jake O`Brien down for not dealing with a running 6ft 7 defender from a standing start….Words fail. There is not a defender in the world who would have beaten Burn under those circumstances

For a veteran player with over 300 appearances and 39 caps to let his team down on the eve of a Cup match is inexcusable. This is no dumb kid. He’s supposed to behave like a professional.

I think a 7 for Hackney, he scored and assisted another but his general play was disappointing.A 7 for Rohl and a 8 for Myko. A 9 for Dewsbury-Hall the effort he gives is outstanding.

I was at the game so don’t have the benefit of the cameras views but for me we looked a much better balanced attacking side with both George and Dibling on the flanks.Dibling may not have torn them a new one but he showed more than I’ve seen from Johnson so far.I just hope Jake O’Brien is patient and waits his turn to form the future CB pairing with Branthwaite as He (JOB) also looked good last night. But Tarkowski is un-droppable at the moment and deserves his place and the armband.

I doubt if the fine and dropping will be the end of this affair!

Newcastle were shite, rode our luck but we were the better team

KDH lost the ball a couple of times as well in dangerous positions which didn’t stop him from being voted MOTM by many people, while Grealish has been a regular starter this season even though he’s done next to nothing. Praise the players loudly in public and whisper their faults in private. Most experienced manager in the premier league utter the pundits ! Jesus he’s learned next to nothing since he started as manager of PNE— didn’t have the guts to drop and fine Grealish himself.

Armstrong will replace him on Monday. Cant Moyes just let them enjoy the result instead of putting a negative slant on it

Newcastle although poor yesterday are a better side than wolves Mike.Hall is a very good left back too.That said Dibbling did some good and bad things. I watched him go past a player with a little jig at one point and it was so easy for him so much ability in there, that the lad just needs time on the pitch.No everton player has been truly outstanding in every game, yet if Dibbling isn’t outstanding in the one game he starts in weeks, it’s not good enough?He’s judged harshly I think, and if he thinks he’s got to be outstanding every time he gets the ball, he’ll be trying too hard & under too much pressure.

I learned- Hackney should start, he’s invariably one of our more incisive players when he does get a game- It’s a low bar but Dibling has more about him than Johnson- Barry has got it in him to put away a chance, that finish was pretty decent, not just a tap in. I’ve always said, there’s a half decent striker in that gangling frame, if he just builds a bit of self belief- To my astonishment, and while he remains a gash footballer, Myko has occasionally started to look vaguely threatening in attackWhat is still to learn is whether Jack is back to his old tricks. To be frank, I was never enthusiastic about him coming back on those wages, nice guy but a bit of a loose cannon. But then I also owe a mea culpa on Tarks who I thought we should be moving on from. Sure he’s now pretty slow and we have to adapt the set up for that, but he’s playing as well as he ever has.

Can Moyes not just praise him, and leave it at that, and apologise to him for playing Norgaard against Arsenal, which was a no brainer!

Excuse me for a short rant, look away maybe. Aw, fuck off Moyes! We just wanted to enjoy what appeared to be a thoroughly enjoyable cup match, one that flattered your methods, by the way. Now, you have to do your big balls routine like this was a planned development for the kid. Just shut up sometimes, damn. Rant over.

Should be fined a weeks wages, let the manager and the club down, I thought the manager had the final say? So was it lies when the club said he was ‘sick’ for the Arsenal game as well?

I thought our midfield were excellent, and Hackney showed why he should definitely be a starter, Dibling offers more than Johnson, and Tarkowski’s tackle was unbelievable, credit where it’s due.

Mike I know you’re not a fan of Dibling, but he definitely offers more than Johnson, who’s been so poor, considering the amount of games he’s played, unlike Dibling.

Hackney reminds me a lot of John McGinn – minus the fat arse. And that’s not a bad thing to have in your midfield for the next few years – if we can hang on to him.

Best I’ve seen since the Chelsea 3-0 last season.We looked much more mobile with George and Dibling on the flanks.So funny to wave goodbye to the rapidly disappearing hordes of horse punchers shortly after them deriding OUR support as effing shit! I congratulated a bunch of them in town on winning the singing.Their obsession with Pickford is weird beyond parody.

I see some lousy bastard burgled Theirno Barry’s house last night when he was playing for us, feel sorry for the lad, he scored, assisted and then has to go home to house burgled, lets hope they catch the scumbags who done this

Maybe Moyes should warn Mykolenko, Garner, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Barry and Johnston that they should stop playing crap 1 game in every 2.

I learnt Newcastle are very poor ! Playing Hackney, Dibbling & George doesn’t weaken the side, they offer different abilities, different approaches, which for different opponents is what you need over a season. Dibbling showed a couple of flashes, but even them flashes offer so much more than Johnson.

Very difficult to drop the captain, when he has been our most consistent player all season…Yes, the team does get dragged back without him, but without serious upgrades at full back, I dont think that is a bad thing. The gaps behind with them would leave us wide open.

2 weeks wages might buy us a striker !!!

Yes good performance from him, he is infuriating at times, but worked his arse off and gave Dan burn a tough night. Seen so many players with more talent than him not put the effort it.Effort and work rate is a talent it’s self so we’ll done to him !

Great win, some good performances.George & Dibbling may not have had amazing games but they were on the pitch and Everton scored 3 goals, not a coincidence?KDH & Garner both upped their performances and it showed massively, with Hackney trying to get forward too it just looked more offensive, with more intent.Tarks again solid, in great form.The ref wasn’t the best but he got the crowd angry and made for a great atmosphere.George, Dibbling & Hackney all did good and bad things, but without a real run of games that’s what you will get, give them the opportunity now to grow in the team .

It’s right he should be punished, but it should always be the manager who makes that decision. Grealish needs to step up now, highest paid player at the club should be setting a good example not a bad one !

as i have said this is a water shed moment for moyes he has to get rid of grelish this was evertons most important game this season and he chose to miss training to go out if the rumours are right on the ale you are now done mate NO ONE IS BIGGER THAN OUR CLUB watch the door does not hit you on the arse on your way out back to football hacney is wot has been missing in centra mid i thought dibbling was exelent and i thought rhol did well he is not makeing as many mistakes in that posision as before time will tell this was a much better posative attacking display we are all crying out for lets not fuck this up by changing a winning side AGAIN

Sounds like the rumours that he was dropped from the Arsenal game because he was out on the lash were true.

Rohl does get caught out of position far too often. You can see he is far more comfortable advanced and driving forward with pace.

Norgaard was given 4 mins plus 3 injury time. Not sure he even touched the ball.
