Was it out?

https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/692456008136966145 Of course it was. Everton blew a 3-1 aggregate lead in the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg and they did so in controversial circumstances. The Toffees went to Manchester City 2-1 to the good and, when Ross Barkley struck in the first half, they were on their way to Wembley for a Merseyside derby showpiece. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/692438197192790018 It wasn't to be. Fernandinho made it 1-1 on the night but, as Everton threatened to do the most un-Roberto Martinez thing ever and hang on, Man City rode their luck and were gifted a second goal when it should've been ruled out. It wasn't. De Bruyne rattled it in and Sergio Aguero scored a third and Man City set up a final clash with Liverpool on February 28. The analysis all got very, very technical. https://twitter.com/mikeparry8/status/692455665130958849 https://twitter.com/StanCollymore/status/692455405264490496 https://twitter.com/andygoldstein05/status/692455457059966976 https://twitter.com/Woolberto/status/692455413363666944 If that wasn't enough proof. https://twitter.com/BroadcastMoose/status/692458620517257218 But that bit of bad fortune couldn't spare Roberto Martinez. https://twitter.com/Ste_1878/status/692463221316386816 https://twitter.com/JamesBentleyifm/status/692463178559700996 https://twitter.com/adbennoEFC/status/692464496544223233 https://twitter.com/PeterEFC7/status/692464290155094018 https://twitter.com/thevodaone/status/692464195078590464 https://twitter.com/TalkingEverton/status/692463873044156416 Bad move... https://twitter.com/nsno/status/692463776952651776
