We asked for your views on Everton’s 4-0 Carabao Cup second round win over Championship Preston North End on Wednesday.<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are some of your comments:<\/p>\n

Paul: Solid cup performance. For once didn’t feel too nervous watching us against lower league opposition. Barry looks full of confidence and our midfield options look good. Moyes press conference was interesting, suggesting a rift in the transfer area, which wouldn’t be good for the next few days!<\/p>\n

Anton: As arrogant as this sounds, finally, Everton score the type of victory we should against a decent Championship outfit. Good to see a strong line-up out there (although no Jake O’Brien on the pitch makes me extremely concerned – we simply cannot be contemplating selling him, surely). Obviously delighted that Barry got his hat-trick – that’ll do his confidence wonders (slight knock though?) – and Dibling did look lively and a bit more confident in himself. In years gone by this is exactly the type of cup tie we’d lose and so we have to be happy to come away with such a comfortable victory.<\/p>\n

Matty: Picking a near full-strength team last night paid dividends. Too many times under Moyes he used cup games to rotate the squad. Only making two enforced changes proved to be the right choice, with an emphatic win. A long cup run is long overdue for us, silverware even more so.<\/p>\n

Thomas: No idea why Moyes felt the need to be so agitated with the press in the build-up to this game, it’s otherwise been a comfortable opening two games of the season. Could do without his negativity and not starting Jake O’Brien tonight was criminal – we must keep him over Keane.<\/p>\n

Andy: So obvious Rohl is not a right-back, O’Brien much better all-rounder and to sell him would be a massive mistake. Love Tarkowski but he is starting to look slow. O’Brien is the future at centre back and we need a right-back now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We asked for your views on Everton’s 4-0 Carabao Cup second round win over Championship Preston North End…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":827554,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-827553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=827553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/827554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=827553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=827553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=827553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
