The Jury: Everton fans reflect on the Carling Cup rout of Hull
TONY SCOTT, Walton
WITH Moyes ringing five changes last night it was nice to see
fringe players like Osman, Hibbert and Gosling do a decent job.
A 4-0 win against any Premiership side is a decent result and don't forget Hull City took some big scalps last season too.
The Russian winger looks a class act and the sooner we have him, Arteta, Pienaar and Rodwell teaming up in midfield the better.
It's fantastic to see Yakubu back, he knows exactly were the "onion bag" is and his goal scoring record is one of the best.
One special mention has to go to Tim Howard who has been an unsung hero lately and deserves all the credit he gets.
Portsmouth, Stoke, Wolves, Bolton, Aston Villa and West Ham provide our next league opposition and who knows where we could be. Anyone fancy another trip to Wembley again?

SORRY for the interruption - normal service has been restored, three victories, 11 goals and three clean sheets.
In truth last night's game was more like a slack reserve training session, Hull made nine changes; Everton took the opportunity to rest key players and give others a work out.
13,500 at a deserted, silent (apart from the travelling Evertonians) KC Stadium says everything about that abandoned stray dog the League/ Milk/ Littlewoods/ Rumbelows/ Coca Cola/ Worthington/ Netto/ Carling Cup.
With new players settling in - Distin, Bilyaletdinov (Billy to his mates), Heitinga, Neill - and Yakubu back from injury, there's real competition for places and the squad is looking formidable.
A job well done but surely it's a mercy killing for the Carling Cup and the Toothless Tigers? Text HELP to Phil Brown.
