City even punching holes in the Everton internet

It’s so deflating supporting Everton isn’t it.

Anyone posting anything negative gets hammered by the GOT negativity Police, yet Everton let you down time after time after time, continually year in year out. One season finishing 10th isnt going to make us all positive all of a sudden. That I can not see changing unless we get rid of these :-

Olson
Holgate
Keane
Mina
Coleman
Delph
Siggurdsson
Gomes
Gbamin (We arent seeing him again)
Davies
Besic
King
Iwobi
Bernard
Tosun
Kenny
Kean

17 players to shift on, I reckon that could be 3/4 (6 to 8 windows) years minimum until we get all them out and able to at least be competetive and bring players of the right quality in. If I was CA I`d be touting myself to the likes of Real and Spurs, we are such nothing club, just an also ran PL team and that is all we have ever been, looking back at it.

Just 45 minutes to go then we can forget about football for a while...

I think they make it up as we go along

Listened to Redknapps explanation and almost missed myself laughing. So Jaimie thinks it was okay because he was going for the ball ? lol hmmmm but he got nowhere near it Jaimie and caught the ankles of his man you Ferret.

They're clearly the better team and no doubt aguero will knock one in second half for a sky sports wankfest.

Still, should be 2-1 and them down to 10 men.

Richarlison playing well. Expecting him to score or get sent off second half.

The only sky wankfest today is occurring at the other end of the east lancs.

Did our server just topple over?

Briefly mate

“His foot was in the air so he wasn’t encroaching in the penalty area, therefore no retake”

I am just repeating these words to my mrs whilst staring in blank confusion at the wall.

Outplayed unsurprisingly
Get Sigurddson off for anyone - not cos of the pen but for his all round awfulness.
Would almost rejig the midfield by giving Nkounkou a berth in front of Digne, Davies on the right and Doucoure/Allan in the middle.
COYB

I'll be controversial but considering the opposition we haven't actually played as bad as the score suggests. The first goal was class from de bruyne the second was poor defensively, with keane losing the ball and effectively when they picked the ball off him we had Godfrey as the only defender of the four left to try and mark 4 city players. Add a missed penalty into it and I don't know the rules on sendings off but can someone explain to me how that wasn't a red card the game would have a completely different slant on it.

Stop lad, all we had to do was go in hard on a few 50/50s early and they'd have backed right off with the CL final in a few days.

 

[Steve Wigan]

Have to say Gary Nev has got it spot on. Our strength is in our two strikers but we spend too long getting the ball to them. We are playing against a very,very good side today and our chance was always going to be to keep on the front foot against them. Unfortunately Carlo just simply does not have the personel to compete against the best teams. It will be an interesting summer and next season will be an important season. The job is really only just starting.

 

[JMT]

refs and VAR proper mugging us off this match.

 

[arbok]

Sigurdsson didn't even react when he missed the pen. I don't even mean head in hands, I mean he just walked while the ball was still in play. Absolute shithouse and the purest personification of our squad's problems.

If we don't go big this summer, I see no change.

do you want him to break down crying?

 

[DaChunk]

Crap on the pitch and haven't even started to build the new stadium they claimed to be building. Everton that.

Could've scored our penalty

Really you honestly believe thats how we were going to beat these seriously???
