Match Thread Man City v Everton 23 May 2021 - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[peteblue]

So, from being in a position a while back to overtake the RS we end up 10 points and 7 places behind....we have no killer Instinct and no one to drive the team.....is it too much to ask for an Alan Ball or a Peter Reid......

 

[Dublin blue 75]

M Keane the only starter today on null points in the MOTM poll. Fitting in the Eurovision weekend that it was.

 

[FinnTrikker]

No chance. He’s in the first of the taxis.

Really......today and at home against Spurs he looked a real leader.....watch 2nd goal from today......unforgiveable

Yep but not sure how he is the only one with null points

Bringing on Awobi and Bernard was priceless - like playing with nine men against the league champions away.

Clear message to the board.

 

[TheNinja]

doesn't surprise me wonder what other ruling can be pulled out of their backside.

I'm sure we'll see more changes next season, all to justify a load of jobs for the boys in the Premier League and FA

We paid what £28 million for Iwobe - recruitment is a big issue

Someone should've given Dr Bruyne a kick after he studded Allan. You wouldn't have seen him again as he wouldn't have risked injury before next weekends fixture.

The referee should have given him a yellow card for that, he was quick enough to give Richie one for a tug on Mahrez's sleeve. Any of our players giving DeBruyne a kick would have seen red without a doubt.

 

[Bluestar]

The damage was done with the disastrous home form.
losing to teams like Sheffield was inexcusable. The defeat today was entirely predictable, although perhaps not the magnitude. Anyway in the end in spite of our disappointment we did come quite close to getting something out of the season. We have a number of players who just don’t have the quality and if any of them had showed up through the season, we might of made it into one of the top seven positions.
It’s frustrating that we came quite close. I do expect quite a big summer of transfers I think the club will have quite a lot of money to spend.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

At least we ended the season on a high note!

Pathetic; the players should be ashamed of themselves but they won't.

They'll go out, have a party, laugh and shout, get their wages, and love life.

F them all.

Yes; Top half. What a team.

Keane next captain. Then Godfrey. Coleman and Sigurdsson have been a [Poor language removed] disgrace to the leadership of this team. No balls.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Yes; Top half. What a team.

The money we've spend

I think youre correct. We were an extreme example of whats happened in the Prem this season...more away wins in the league altogether than home wins. Very odd, but obviously down to the lack of spectators.Encouragement by the crowd at home games migt=ht have earned us another 10 points or so which would have been fine.
