Man City v Everton. 13th Jan at 1945.

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Come on lads, nothing to complain about there. Let's bring home a W, or at least a draw

 

[USABlue]

played well that half, some very good stuff but just can't find the finish/final ball. defense has been solid.

 

[Jags..class]

Love watching Stones and Besic been great this half

 

[zirc]

I still think Osman will score haha

It's nailed on he will

 

[paulus]

If Besic continue with playing better every game and he did not lost a ball I think , not one , can we keep him ?

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Excellent half. What is encouraging is we can see what can be improved regarding the personnel. We are so close to something yet still seem far away.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Osman is such a conundrum.

A liability with the body strength of a dandelion, yet he almost scores one of the goals of the season.

Moans is a conundrum of Osman

 

[AlE]

Besic god

 

[snipellis11]

Great half from us that, defended really well and look dangerous on the attack. Besic is a class act.

 

[gaino92]

Besic best player so far

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

its impressive just how much besic gets forward when he can, remember all them clowns who said he offers nothing going forward

The other good thing about him is he's always looking for the ball to get us moving forward.

 

[Efcjake]

Less of the osman hating please, he's done alright

All you're going to hear unless we concede, then it is Howard's fault.

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

Holy crap. Ossie with a near worldy and Howard looking solid. Wouldn't have guessed it prematch but we are bossing these.

 

[bluerobert]

We look very good in all areas for those not watching. Defence is well organised, everybody doing what needs to be done except Stones who's just John Stones isn't he. Barry lucky not be on a booking but so was fernando for City. Besic looks the best player on the pitch, tracking back, blocking and breaking play up. Imagine the days when Ross and Gerry are on song, Besic doesn't look out of place going forward in that company. Osman is having a stinker and Rom has caused them problems.

Edit, mention to Howard to who's looked solid. I don't think I really emphasised how bad Osman is playing for the record. He looks well below the standard the rest of the team are playing at

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Oviedo for osman. Kev is probably the better player but he's just very difficult to like. Bless him
