Match Thread Everton V Manchester City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Azza]

Is right James.

 

[USABlue]

Need Allan back desperately

 

[carolinablue232]

Derby is going to be a hard watch on Saturday. I might go walk the dogs.

I think we’ll actually win that one. No reason other than Liverpool are equally bad now.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Some proper cranks on here tonight.

 

[sheedys left foot]

One was enforced after 15 mins .
What should he do. Say let's wait until we go 3.1 down and rest richy

Leave iwobi on and put king up top. It’s not rocket science. We had no interest in attacking anyway so why burn him out chasing shadows?

 

[Dougie]

Not got a problem with City beating us, they are a class team. What I do have a problem with is our players on the ball and how easy they give it away time after time inviting pressure

The only times they dont give it away is when they are playing 5 yatd passes between the back 4. Even then a bit of pressure sees us go back to Pickford and he launches it long.

Its honestly exhausting to watch

We need to be honest. Why are so hard to watch, it’s the same as it was the last 2 previous managers yet we have better players. There is no excuse to what we have been watching last few months. And I’m not talking about this game I’m talking about the West Ham, Newcastle, Fulham, Leicester and more to Speke of. Losing games happens and we would probably lose and draw more than we win at this stage. But the performances are a joke.

He's hardly played a pass to a blue shirt all game.

but he’s crap right?

 

[maccavennie]

I really need this Sigurdsson in a deeper role thing explained to me because surely I'm missing something.

Not missing anything mate, it's pathetic management and that's the top and bottom of it.

 

[charlie atkins]

Our passing has gone nowhere but backwards since Christmas.

This is awful. We just seem to of give up

 

[blueconverse]

And proudly pointing to EITC awards as a sop to the fans.

Its a wonderful setup EITC but sickening how much the club tries to use it like it achievement on the pitch but tbf what else can they be positive about

 

[d34noj]

but he’s crap right?

Absolutely.

 

[n01efc]

meh, they should be doing the trebble every season with their resources

They may well do it

 

[AlE]

We've tried but been roundly beaten by the better side.

Sidurdsson has been real bad though.

Hard to put a finger on why but I reckon it's something to do with him being utter crap at football

 

[BlueStevie35]

Doucoure is awful. NEA.

Wrong

 

[steven]

They have won 17 in a row....miles ahead of most of the league - destroyed Liverpool last week...I think we have played well today - goals change games and the mahrez wonders trike changes it again.

If we had beaten Fulham then this would be ok, still can't get my head around that team selection

Anyway - I honestly think we can get something at anfield.
