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

[WeAreEvertonians]

They were genuinely looking to give it though, would have been an absolute travesty.

How can they give the offside is my question. He wasn’t. Very odd.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Have to get rid of VAR. Absolute joke all this.

We'd be 1-0 without it.

 

[Stephen Gibson]

Only way we get in this is long ball with our junk midfield.

 

[maccavennie]

Got to massively improve here, just not at it. Really poor from Pickford

 

[Osamabindiesel]

You beat city on the hoof and the counter.

Why do we always turn up to play tikka. Its idiotic.

I think Bernard’s injury changes things a little. You’d think Walcott would have been the replacement instead of Tom

 

[Gerbs]

Convinced that we will play a corner directly to Pickford if we get one

 

[Lelouch]

really should be going sean dyche hoof a loopa on these, We ain't out passing out maneuvering these.

 

[PhilM]

I swore the whistle went in that play.

If we're actually going to have to play past the whistle then the game is literally over.

I'm pretty certain it did and so did Digne, other players and the commentators. If the whistle is blown, the ball is dead and it really should be simple as that.

The VAR didn't give a penalty (it couldn't have been a penalty based - see above), but then it said the offside decision was correct when he actually looked onside.

I've just said to my missus: I do not understand the rules of football any more. I do not think the officials know the rules any more either.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Davies is rubbish.

And really slow, players stroll away from him.

 

[Nymzee]

Think we’ve gone back 4 now saying that.

 

[irishtony1878]

It's going to kill football, you can't even celebrate a goal properly, think about a time when you have gone proper mental at a goal and the absolute sheer joy it gave you.
That's gone while they look at 5 or 6 reasons why they can rule it out.

 

[sageyefc]

Our centre mid non existent

 

[Uncle Vitor]

He’s created our only chance. Maybe the professional football managers know more than you?

Anyone with eyes and a brain can see that Sig has stunk the place out for years. You don’t need AC Milan on your CV to call that.

 

[Death]

Someone has to come out and explain what that was about. Ye can’t review play after a whistle is blown.

 

[Amw79]

We'd be 1-0 without it.

yep. But the painful stoppages, and daft checks are killing games. Get shut of it.
