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

[Encoder]

Yeah we are clearly trying to grock them out, but City have looked a bit average. Hope we can just get a bit of luck on the set piece.

 

[Efcjake]

I reckon that's pretty much gone how the manager would have wanted it, aside from us possibly nicking one

Yep. Everyone has done their job defensively just need that one moment of quality to go our way.

A little bit more going forward from Coleman and Sigurdsson would be helpful.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Only radio for me.
But it sounds reasonable.

Probably less bias than tv commentary

 

[Saint Domingo]

Probably as good as we could hope for. The Allan yellow is annoying, refs just seem to book him and Docuoure for their first tackles every game now.

 

[sageyefc]

Gomes been our best player that half

 

[Mozza1987]

Not bad at all really. Take that so far.

 

[Milkman]

Pretty much 100% going to plan so far. Defensive shape has been outstanding and good intent on the break, if not quality.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Game is absolutely there for the taking.

 

[Goat]

They've genuinely not turned up. We can win this.

Im sure the stats would suggest differently.

See what I mean about football being all about the eyes.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Defended well to a man. Gomes has put himself about a lot, good to see. Godfrey boss as usual. We know they can score from nowhere, but we could nick one today ourselves...

Good half, very disciplined display

Got to admire how city move the ball, they’re like robots and always seem to have a spare man

Reckon we’ll smash these in the second half though

 

[Gibbo1976]

Good half...how fernandinho hasn't been booked is beyond me

 

[JMT]

okay first half, problem is they can bring KdB on and we can bring Broadhead on.

 

[Ring master]

Defending very well, Keeper has only had that long range shot at him really, while mina was unlucky if header was going in or not, hard to tell from angle, we are stuck if we go forward and not be caught out, or just defend none stop

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Gomes too

I didn’t think Gomes was as bad as people said. Think he’s been fairly decent since the new year to be honest. Needs to carry more goal threat
