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

[kiss the crest]

How come Sterling wasn't booked for blatant cheating

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

On the bright side we've got to half-time only down one world class goal. On the other hand if we'd just conceded the 3 points and stayed at home we wouldn't have lost Gray and Richarlison for the next game.

then the powers that be will react

Should've been a yellow for diving

 

[ToffeeDan]

We don't care do we.. and, after good old Unlucky Everton get swiped left right and centre (injuries, no depth in the team, chased all over the park) it's another dreadful weekend.

The Sky Kopite sending us out for a Sunday chastening at Brentford (minus Gray, Richo, DCL, Doucoure, Davies, Mina etc). with the RS having an extra day off before the Derby.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Iwobi having a terrible game even by his standards, the City goal came because he couldn’t just cross a simple ball to acres of space.

Nope, that's just his normal standard

 

[lungo]

I’d rather we were three down and grey wasn’t injured and richarlison not suspended for Brentford….

But Iwobi will get playtime. Nothing can go wrong.....

 

[Wat Tyler]

We’re in a lot of trouble, can’t see where the next goal is coming from, never mind the next win.

What are you worried about we got Rondoninho coming in next week against Brentford with Iwobi supplying the goods.

People have got their heads in the sand, we are in trouble.

 

[bullybeef]

Fantastic pass for the city goal.

But the number 10 of Everton needs sacking for giving the ball straight to him.

 

[Saint Domingo]

This is a great point.

A young unheralded coach has transformed the way Palace play.

And we get a dinosaur .

Seem to remember Palace having their entire team fit apart from Eze.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

So you haven't booked him. Why exactly would he not dive again now?

He watched a video of him diving in slow motion then decided not to book him even though he’s recognised it was a dive by cancelling the pen. It’s like he’s admitted he was wrong but not THAT wrong.
I mean we’re still gash mind but you know.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

In hindsight, 25% was wildly optimistic.

We need a manager that demands his team have the ball. This guy is an absolute dinosaur.

Exactly why I didn’t want him, Rafaball - just try and hit teams on the counter and let them have the ball. It’s terrible. You can’t look forward to watching your team when you know he’s going to set up like this.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Lucky to get in a 1-0 down, we’ve defended ok for the most part but you can’t just put 10 behind the ball all game and expect something

Gray going off is a blow, it should have been Simms on and try something different, Idonkey pinging the ball at a City head with Richy wide open seconds before the City goal said it all

Having both Gray and Richy out next Sunday is a massive blow that Benitez can’t afford to have and may well cost him his job

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Brands alone is responsible for Iwobi. He needs to be stuffed into a cannon, loaded onto shoalway and fired off into the Irish Sea.

 

[bullybeef]

Look how much time he had to pick out the pass.
Just cowards man.

Who gave him the ball from an atrocious school boy clearance.
