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

[Comrade Detective]

Gorra be happy with a point away.

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.

Which teams other than the current bottom 3 would take any of our midfield and attacking players other than Ndiaye? The defence is very good but the rest of the squad is poor and needs improving.

Great display against a terrible City. Gave Coleman MOTM cos hes been out for so long and put a real captains performance in. He really makes a big difference. Ndiayes finish was great, best player for us. Broja should start next game.

It's garbage man, the results are fine but the play is garbage.

It was a point most did not expect. Not the time now to play like Brazil. We need points by any means.

 

[Ged G]

I want Dyche out. I want to see Everton play football which is a pleasure to watch. But that is not where we are for well known historical reasons. In the circumstances it is wholly inappropriate to not give credit for consecutive draws against far superior teams.

Correct. Sensible post

 

[Drico]

We need four from the next two. We’ve taken far too few points from Leicester, Southampton, Bournemouth, Brighton, etc. to give ourselves leeway now. Very good draws in the last three, but we need a win from the next two. Big time.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Wouldn't have a problem with him the last three games the way he has set us up against these "top" sides,it's worked and we have ground out three very valuable points,it's the other winnable games against teams around and about us where he employs the exact same blanket cover tactics!!

Thought City were a bit more lively than previous games, good performance from the lads. Don't agree with the hate on Harrison, the lad tries his best and takes chances our strikers haven't been taking. After that Wolves win today though, we need 3 points soon.

Mangala is absolutely class. Got a feeling Broja would be a decent number 9 if he started games. I'm sure the bottom teams would be interested in both, esp Leicester who have a 50 year old upfront hooked on red bull

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Actually had some attacking intent especially in the second half.

Still think Dyche isn’t the man to maximize the output of this side. But yes 3 draws from these 3 games is well done.

 

[Super Kevin sheedy]

Good result but we need to win a game or two at some point

Sunday

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Dare I say it for a hat trick awesome draw.

 

[evertony]

I know.

Was just firing some shots.

Schoolboy error. Everton don’t do shots.

100%. These draws are good to build up some resilience but I don't think they have any relation to how we play against other teams where we are expected to push forward a bit more. We've been proven to be shambolically bad at breaking teams down.

I'm hoping Forest will be the sweet spot of accepting they're having a bizarrely excellent season but also if they're not on their game, we should be all over them.

Badly badly need a win or 2 soon though for all the draws and clean sheets are encouraging.
