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

[streeky]

Strange the amount of votes for Richie, he had no interest in playing in this fixture

 

[peteblue]

We sat back too much early on, came into the game later on and scared the crap out of City....considering where we were a month or so ago, against the best team in the league, we did OK.....

 

[WeAreEvertonians]

Agreed. Needs dropping, doesn't he?

Not whilst Delph and Davies are the only other two options.

 

[Billysgingham.]

Strange to take off seamus, sidibe was appalling.

Much of a muchness just think sidibe offers more going forward.

 

[Fansince1988]

Players a bit tired. 6-0 them would have hurt transfer business. Not awful result.

And Carlos has probably got a 14 day get out clause lol

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Seamus was the MOTM easily. Not sure it would have stayed that way had he played the full 90. Just felt it might go awry when Bernard went down

 

[Zatara]

I thought that Mina was class. He's our best player this season so far.

Yeah Mina was top class today...my motm

 

[Sharpattack]

That result flattered us.

 

[gianthogweed]

We played like we knew we were not going to get anything other than a lucky point

 

[Eggs]

For whatever reason it is we have been dreadful and giving the top teams anything to worry about away from home over the last 20 years. Just gotta hope Ancelotti´s the man to get us showing some real quality in these games.

...like others before him, Ancelotti has to prove he’s up to the job. Ancelotti has to deliver.

[Zatara]

Need to sign a new midfielder this window...but we all knew that.

Welcome Sandro Tonali

 

[Eggs]

Strange the amount of votes for Richie, he had no interest in playing in this fixture

...he had a poor game, I agree, but he generally demonstrates a top drawer attitude.

 

[HibbertsRightFoot]

Thought we were dreadful first half but second half we came back into it, its city at the end of the day they are next level. Just a few players look laboured when they run even 5 mins in, sigurdsson and davies together in a midfield is just to slow regardless of who plays the cdm role

Fair point.

It's still been a turnaround, even at our very best, it's still difficult
