Match Thread Everton v Man Citeh

[BlueToff]

He is good. No doubt about it. He having a great performance against a great team.

Like Holgate, he's just been a bit rash at times. But that's purely down to age.

Anyone know when Seamus is due to go through puberty like?

 

[eurosrees]

The sad thing is, I'm not really sure that aspect of his game has improved over the past few years.

It really hasn't, keep thinking that it one day will all click and it just doesn't, could learn a bit from young Tom davies with his ball for the goal.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Didn't mention the city high foot in that so called pen shout

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Barkley needs to read the game like Davies. Work on that aspect he'd be hell of a player. Just haven't seen any improvements in that particular department.

 

[Aldin Karabeg]

So glad we're leading at halftime, great goal by Lukaku. A lot of points dropped to lower teams, but it's time to get some from City now. Not sure why we are so lucky against them.

 

[Ring master]

We look a danger on the break,but a bit scarey watching us defend,sterling looks the danger for them,good 1st half,very good powerfull finish from lukaku

 

[Billy Dean]

The boy Holgate is not, and will never be, the weak link.

Is right. Thought he was solid

 

[marnie]

The Street end needs to suck one in early for us.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

If we could have a decent defender with a brain instead of FM in that back 3 it could turn our to be a very nice formation, we certainly look like we have more options going forward.

Mori has won every ball today defensviely. Made 1 stupid dribble alright

Yep. It happens for sure, but they both deserve to be in the team. We found a way to do so by playing Coleman as a wing back, and I think that is the way to go.

 

[Everton-Herzegovina]

Really liking the boy Davies

Few mistakes, lack of experience.

Come on Rom, one more.

 

[Steve Wigan]

Re Davies...I never realised Alan Whittle was his uncle! Same hair, mind, but Whittle more blonde!.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Good half.

Sat a bit too deep at times. No coincidence that when we've stepped up 10 yards further we've looked much better - that's where the goal came from.

Also, our possession play has been poor. Too many bad decisions from the forwards.

Baines has been excellent. Davies doing well but he's been caught out a few times. But, he was great for the goal.

Can improve, and these are an excellent side, but we're more than matching them atm. They have had one clear-cut chance and the penalty appeal, which was a 50/50.

Always my biggest worry Toff, especially in the second half of our games, we have a tendency to be okay for 10 minutes, then play the rest of the half sitting too deep.

He does win a lot, he's got the predictability of a jack in the box though, crazy.
