Everton vs Man City - 10th Jan, 2015.

[steele]

I'm quite pleased with 1 half. More guts, and more direct fotball. Manch C is a very good team, but we can get a win here.
Improved from our last 4 matches.

The 'Titting' still aint gone.

And honest question, whose FK's and corners are we under pressure most from, theirs or our own?

 

[Titus Bramble]

Good half so far imo. Put them under pressure, passed forward with pace and come closest to scoring. Neither keeper having to make a save yet but we can build on that in the second half.

How's McGeady playing?

 

[Rook]

Not bad I guess. We had the best scoring opportunity. The team is showing some fight. Even McGeady who's been gash made a couple important clearances. Maybe Mirallas coming on at the 60 min mark can give our counter a spark.

 

[MartSlinger]

This is more like it! Much much better than the previous games, that Lukaku goal on Tuesday may well have been the turning point. Regardless of the result, im just happy that we're putting in this type of performance again. The effort and fight is there for all to see.

HT No shame in the effort and in the main work rate, but for [Poor language removed] sake we need some changes of game plan in each game, to me we have concentrated on going down our right, not tried anything through the middle or on the left, and this for me is now a 1 in 20 game that we can win, similar to Chelsea at home last season clearly the better team is the one we are facing, we need a goal and then to defend for our lives whilst hitting them on the counter, although the pattern of that 1st half suggest to me we can't even counter attack as we have sat back like we are leading and not penetrated them with a quick break

 

[Ring master]

Think Everton have played ok that half,not really having problems with shots on target from city,a few have gone wide,and the main one probably was from jags early error

 

[Big Fat Sam]

How's McGeady playing?

lol

 

[bluemangroup]

To all those people and I've been one about Barkley not playing in the center well he's played there all game and been awful. Maybe Bobby know what he's doing

We've had plenty of players put in crap performances this season. In the middle is where Barkley should be though.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Much better performance than recent games, they have had more possession and attempts but we had the best goal shots with Coleman and Lukaku.

How's McGeady playing?

Like McGeady. Dribble til you lose it mostly. Set up Coleman nicely once.

Koff Phil Neville:

From the BBC live feed: "Manchester City have been magnificent in the first half at Goodison Park but Manuel Pellegrini will think they have not been clinical enough."

Magnificent? Hardly.

 

[LocalNative]

Lukaku has been fantastic. Looks like a brand new player with his touch being so on point and his eagerness to get the ball moving.

 

[Haston]

Industrious performance! Created a few chances, enjoying this! Much better than previous weeks
