Winning builds confidence and right now we are getting a nice haul of trophies started. The Carabao cup I couldn’t have given a damn about, it’s a joke of a competition that’s badly arranged and named after some obscure energy drink...says it all.
But the FA Cup we haven’t had a good run in since we got to the semi final and embarrassed by Villa. A long time since we won this so although I expect there will be some changes, I hope it’s not too many and stronger than the line ups we used up until the kids played in the Carabao Cup.
Expect the likes of Shaq, Origi, Adrian etc to start but I have no problem with that, our rotated team has shown over the last year they should still have more than enough for a full strength Everton team.
Could argue not having the FA Cup would benefit us in the league but as City showed last season, that isn’t really the case because they won pretty much every game they had from their Newcastle defeat whilst still winning the FA Cup whilst we were drawing 3-4 games in a matter of weeks.
Plus, I can think of nothing worse than having these jack asses bragging for a year about how they put us out the cup. Bad enough they based last season as a success because they held us to a draw.
