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

[ste d' indica]

Probably less bias than tv commentary

Talksport have been very complimentary to us to be fair.

Well I suppose the game plan is working. I still worry about their quality though and how much space they’re given to build attacks. It only takes one mistake to undue it all.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Plan is working, in a funny way we’ve probably looked more likely based on quality of chance... obviously they’re incredible though and could turn it on any second

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

If that commentator says that once more, 3rd choice goalkeeper, I’ll scream

He just about managed to control his urge to tell us how much Coleman cost when he mentioned him being on his 12th Everton manager.

It irritates me when the commentators constantly bleat about a team dropping deep.

Because, as you all know, you're supposed to play to your opponents strengths and not your own...

If the Kopites were defending like this it would be a masterclass in game management.

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

Ruben dias for me, 4 or 5 fouls, none over the top but all of them cynical breaking up our chance to play

 

[Goat]

Means nothing.

Thats kind of my point mate.

Possession
Home23%
Away77%

Possession is 9/10 of the law.
We're still in it lads....

Talksport have been very complimentary to us to be fair.

We are playing the best int twerld

 

[navidson]

Shame they've got the greatest bench in the history of football and can make 5 (!) subs

Otherwise we'd have half a chance

 

[lungo]

Game is absolutely there for the taking.

Slow slow. Good half but everything still to do. They will take in De Bruyn and it will be another game. The big question is, do we have the stamina to chase them all over the field for 90 (120) minutes. Sigurdsson will struggle big time So does Gomes.

 

[SantaClausisanEvertonian]

That Citeh defence is struggling with Dom.
He's nailed on for a goal in the second half.

Jurgen Klopp likes this.

 

[Northeastblue]

First time in a while I've been pretty calm watching us. I expected nothing from the game, but we've been in full-on Ancelotti mode; organised, compact and solid. Gomes and Godfrey very good. I'll cry my eyes out if we score.

 

[EvertonCJ]

We have a plan. I feel more confident now than a couple of hours ago.
