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

[Zatara]

Pretty sure not many have watched these City games the last month or so and just look at the score line.

Apart from Villa and the RS they've lost while having 60%+ possession and more shots than the opposition. The issue is, they concede and suffer on the counter.

We're not doing much wrong, we have had plenty of times to counter and not pulled it off.

Its effective football and posters are turning off and whinging.

Mental.

City not really looked like scoring to be honest. Not sure I remember a Pickford save

Pickford has had to stop a couple, and if city had their shooting boots on proper or still had Mahrez then he'd have had a lot more to do.

For the money they've spent, they seem half the side they were 4 or so seasons back.

DCL seems to be mistiming his jumps all the time.

It’s because he can’t be arsed, wants his January move so doesn’t want to get injured.

Dychie doesnt like Broja. An immigrant and not speaking any existing english dialect. No thanks.

He was born and brought up in Slough.

Broja is from Slough mate.

 

[Obes]

You'd take Mangala off

Jesus wept.

And who for? Harrison Armstrong?

What a bad take from that half.

 

[DanB90]

I admire the optimism, but we are not … we won’t have a shot until they’re 2-3 goals up

Everton should score another now and then stop Manchester City from scoring again

I disagree I think Everton should top Manchester City from scoring again first and then should score another goal

Exactly, not enough courage to move the ball forward with speed. Gana, Doucoure and Mangala are the worst when it comes to forward passes. They just move it sideways 90% of the time.

Mangala id take off at half time.

Think hes a poor player aside from short passes and today hes given the ball away im promising positions and doesnt spot attacking runs from DCL.



All part of the gameplan.

Haha you're always on the wind up, fair play

 

[TrailerTrash]

That was a hell of a goal.

 

[maccavennie]

City for me look nothing like the city of old, out of possession they do t seem to know how to press anymore

Their confidence is shot. Defensively I don't think he's ever had to be a genius of a coach as offensively he sets his teams up so well. But they're all over the place at the back and it's about having players who can take care of the ball and pick out a runner and we'd be in behind them time after time as they're so high up the pitch
