Match Thread Man City 1-1 Everton. Dec 26th . 12.30

[Toffeelover]

Not our style.

No you mean Dyche style.

 

[Bwana]

A goal is a goal and it got us something from there so went for Ndiaye. Pickers was of course the other option. Aside of these two Tarkowski also had a good game.

After those have been said it's time to wonder again.

How many goals would've we scored from the counters if there'd be any footballing brain in our attack, aside Ndiaye (and perhaps Broja)? I have to give to Dyche: In this sort of matches his system does work. Why oh why can't he have plan B too...

Unbeaten December so far. Would've bet against this in October my left bolloc... Heck; both.

Have a nice Boxing Day from now on too, I heard there's still ham, some skagen + Finnish archipelago bread & lager in the fridge.

UTFT!

Zatara...you are wide of the mark with Mangala. He is a decent player

 

[mahermi1]

Mangala is our best footballing midfielder by a Country mile, Zat please take off you're blinkers mate.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Echo the above...Looks fully fit now.

 

[Toffeelover]

They absolutely can play a bit.

As much as I hate him Dyche will keep us up but hopefully new owners will bring their own man in at the end of May.

I do not like Dyche either but can he keep us out of the bottom 3 ?

 

[Blue Roo]

He gave away the ball 4 times out of nothing as well...2ce to opposition and 2 poor fouls.



Coleman was ok today.
Myko the worst hes been for a few games

Which chances to score did Mangala have? The long 'shots' ?



DCL did well a couple of times...with him its like hes on autopilot and then turns himself on.

Hes got to go.

As i wrote, Broja must have been great the last 6mins as he did nothing before that.

Broja did more the than DCL with the little time he had.
Surprised Zat you can't see the difference. Just on composure on the ball Broja's miles ahead.

Like talking to a brick wall lads, he doesn’t know a good player if it smacked him dead on

Pep is such a sulky little sh!t. does my head in.

For a long time I've indulged you Zat even defended you against other posters who think you are like the village idiot but I'm done with you now . They were right , I was wrong .

Your abusive posts to eggs were disgraceful.

Anyway I cba with you any more so you're on ignore. Happy New Year.

 

[pfim]

The team seem tight knit and playing for each other over the past month.

That's big positive for me.

I didn't get to watch the 2nd half, so I'm probably a bit less emotional about it than most. But it's a good point, it's a good stretch of results, the team are playing together.

Regardless of what the table says, the next few matches are against lesser competition than the past three. There needs to be a win or two in there, even if these teams are ahead of us in the table (most teams are).

Mangala was excellent and broja did really well. Is this a wind up?

*Checks who's post you replied too.
YES

 

[ValBlue]

Mangala is pretty poor for Belgium. Levels between him and Onana.

Onana runs
Onana tackles
Onana doesnt pass to opposition players frequently nor does he make insane fouls

If we sign Mangala i'll be worried.

Garner needs to get back quick.

Sorry Zat, I usually find myself seeing the vision with most of your shouts on players, but this isn’t it I’m afraid. Mangala has been sound so far, I think you’re overcooking the mistakes that Mangala makes, he’s generally our calmest midfielder- plus he pops up on the edge of the box more than I expected

 

[mahermi1]

Not one player in their squad that doesn’t walk into our team.

Not arguing what was the score again and who could have even won in the end.

 

[Zatara]

Agreed but not today.

Eh? I rate Broja. Not today though.
