Match Thread Man City v Everton - Sunday 21st November 2pm. Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[ToffeeTim]

Expected loss. Sack the manager and end this pathetic experiment

I am stuggling to think of three worse, more lifeless teams than us right now ?

I can’t think of one

 

[MACCA75]

Disciplined enough.

Two moments of genius just kicked us in the balls.

A full fit team and we're 6th-10th.

A few injuries and we're 10th-16th.

It is what it is.

This squad isn’t capable of finishing 6th.

 

[Joey66]

Can we have an international break every week please after watching that performance....

 

[Daytripper]

Agreed our spending has been poor but if we have money still then at least we should be allowed to spend as we wish. Chelsea and Man City were afforded that luxury that turned them into big teams with no penalties and now it isn't allowed. They grow and the rest just try and hang in there.

We shall see what January and the summer brings. At least one of the three better players will leave imo.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Another battling performance from the boys in blue…

… which is why I expect City to be up there at the end of the season!

 

[Melchizedek]

Protest "Gray" vote as Onyango wasn't an option. Could not bring myself to vote for any of them. I know Citeh are good but we are an absolute shambles.

Gave Townsend my MOTM simply because he won us a couple of fouls in good attacking areas thereby making him our most dangerous player.

 

[MACCA75]

Its been a long time since ive seen such a defeated bunch before a match.

No heart.

No desire.

No management on view.

Pathetic.

Really surprised how many people are quite satisfied with that performance because we have a few players injured.

 

[Papa Shango]

This squad isn’t capable of finishing 6th.

I'm worried about it finishing 16th...

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Inexperienced Kid to give them a little taster and not expecting too much from them. An introduction that will not devastate them

I just wished the inexperience kid had longer than 2 minutes during his introduction.

 

[Chrismac]

Disagree with some of that. Thought we showed them too much respect, not enough pressure on them when they were in possession and we used the ball like a hot potato time and time again. It was like a training session for them.

They are a great side and we are not , we can however use that ball better than that and show a bit more fight.

We were cowardly with possession nearly everytime we had it.
Put everyone behind the ball but had no intention of trying to actually press and win it.
Let city toy with us for 90mins.
How can we look back at how that panned out and think we got anything right?
Zero ambition and zero leadership from the sideline.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Crap results are going to keep Happening whilst we’re missing our best players

 

[Chrismac]

I just wished the inexperience kid had longer than 2 minutes during his introduction.

Why not play Simms instead of Rondon?
Rondon has shown in the ample opportunities we've gave him that he's 100% finished at that level so why keep banging the same broken drum?

Totally agree.

 

[Mozza1987]

What would "give it a go" mean or look like? Rondon and Richy up top? Iwobi and Townsend up top? Just Delph in midfield?

You honestly saving we tried to even get anything out of that game then? Maybe just being more adventurous when having the ball, maybe not just sitting back waiting for them to eventually score which was always going to happen. We had 20 odd % possession. Laughable. If you're happy with that then fair enough but it was a pathetic performance.
