Everton: Fans look back FA Cup semi-final defeat in 2016

Everton fans have looked back with an element of frustration at their FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester United in 2016.
The Toffees’ were knocked out at the penultimate stage of the domestic cup competition after losing 2-1 to the Red Devils at Wembley, with a 93rd-minute winner from Anthony Martial enough to send the Toffees packing.
Roberto Martinez’s side levelled the affair after an own goal from United’s Chris Smalling cancelled out ex-Blues’ Marouane Fellaini’s first-half opener.
A lot of people throw the Everton v Chelsea FA Cup Final as the year we should have won a trophy. For me, this has got to be the one, absolutely battered United, chance after chance, only to play Crystal Palace in the final. Never getting a better opportunity imo.#EFC https://t.co/rIAt8w0Gbb

Striker Romelu Lukaku was guilty of missing many chances during the match and this was a common complaint with the Gwladys Street faithful.
Supporters agreed that it was a chance of winning silverware that they didn’t take and made their feelings clear on social media.
Here you will find some of the many frustrated comments from Everton fans:
Makes me feel sick that day

Agreed. Broke me that match. Great day until near the end of the match. Horrible trip home. Just felt miserable. Real opportunity gone.

If we had got rid of brown shoes after the humiliation at Anfield three days prior I remain convinced we’d have beaten a poor Manchester United side that day. Fact brown shoes let Lukaku take that penalty when Baines was on the field summed up what he did to the club
