That's the positive spirit mate lol

Everyone’s been great apart from iwobi, contributed nothing, terrible, bring king on and we might snatch it coyb

I think we've defended balls coming into the box really well, the problem for me though is how much time and space in the final third we've given City to throw balls in.

 

[Street end man]

It's like watching your car getting MOT'd this, and he's only half way through

 

[bluelegend]

Come on Blues.....fight for this.

Please blue boys please please

 

[Encoder]

Some people think he’s poo still....

Our best defender for almost a year now.

It's because he can look a bit bambi-on-ice at times.

We need to coin a term for how that perception completely colours peoples opinions, regardless of how GOOD they actually are defensively.

Yep, it's that lack of press allowing the balls into the box that undoes us

 

[Frenk]

Yep, Townsend on NBC will virtually have to crawl out of city's backside after this!!

Yeah, did you hear him, he let it slip, “City not creating chances as we want them to, I mean expect them to…”

 

[MockBu4]

if the Everton team continue to work and try hard I would be satisfied with the game, no matter what the result is going to be

 

[LocalNative]

If we had two or three players with burning pace we'd be great on the break.

Been crying out for some pace for the past 3-4+ years now. Needs to be a priority in the Summer to give us a bit of dynamism.

Thanks for that mate!

 

[Verbal Kint]

Quiet pleased with that tbh for the first half.

But I'm watching with that Fulham game still at the forefront of my mind, we could sneak a victory here and i still don't think ill get over it.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Big dunc trying to lay the lips on Ancelotti there. Great to see

 

[atypicalusername]
