Match Thread Manchester City v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Who the hell is Claudio?

Was thinking the same

Absolutely hate City. Full to the brim of smug tits who love the smell of their own farts. Can't even fill their stadium despite supposedly being gods gift to football. The absolute cheek of them sarcastically cheering for goals like they are some hard done by side when in reality they are funded top to bottom by blood money. Rats.

Wasn't too bad from us. Let ourselves down at key times with some poor decision making but we don't have a proper commanding presence in the middle of the pitch. We need a small freshen up in the transfer window.

Why is it always Jesus who crucifies Everton?

Witty...but too soon.

 

[Kantareller]

No point sugar coating this performance. Far from good, Ancelotti wanted to assess the players with this game and he will have found out that a few of them is far from good enough.

 

[Milk]

January sales .. just so long as they get on with it. Never understood why clubs leave it until the last day. Bites you in the bum imo

 

[BlueStevie35]

Very poor but happy we seen a reaction.

Players who are nowhere near good enough:

Davies
Walcott
Delph
Sigurdsson

It was his deflected shot that Richy scored from, did more in his time on the pitch than Davies or Sig

Tom Davies only seems to be useful at wearing crap suits.

 

[Uncle Vitor]

That was poor. Like watching us under BFS at times.

We need a huge injection of cash, this squad and team are nowhere near the required level to win trophies and/or get into the top 4.

 

[TheBigIguana]

That just pisses me off. City weren’t even good. Two nice goals that were easily preventable. We just didn’t test their clownshoes back line whatsoever.

Why are we the only team that never even give them a game? Other teams show up and we just never do when it comes to City.

To be fair Pep realized that leaving any 2 of his CBs up against DCL and Richarlison was a losing battle, so he sacrificed some of the usual attacking thrust for a sounder backline. It just sucks that he did it today instead of against Wolves a week ago.

Why isn’t Digne taking this

Please no more Digne or Sidgi corners. Too weak n predictable.

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Cos you and I deep down know he ain't good enough for what we need. Horrible cos he's one of us.

Probably isn’t good enough. But I see a player there somewhere. His movement is really good, and he’s got good control on the turn. With some coaching I think he could be a decent player, but would require a large inbetween period where, as you say, he isn’t great.

 

[Mashtray]

I'm assuming the ref needed to get home early?

That infuriates me. About 2min of extra time was actually played.

Should be fined

It was his deflected shot that Richy scored from, did more in his time on the pitch than Davies or Sig

Still rubbish.

 

[Fansince1988]

We can’t play Davies against the RS

Problem is we don’t have a commanding midfielder p, we sold him in Gueye and ( Gbamin is injured and we aren’t even sure what he will be like here) so we have Delph,Snides and Davies all would be ok playing with a decent midfielder, but we ain’t got one. For the cup I’d be inclined to play Richarlison in there, then play Kean up top with DCL. Richarlison could manage the job ok imo.

Witty...but too soon.

Too soon for what?
