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

[TheBigIguana]

Also, Man City are so well drilled pressing without the ball that our players don't have anywhere to go forwards that isnt also a risky pass, hence playing it safe.

Going direct we might get a sniff later on.

If we could hit an accurate long ball

 

[Blueclouds]

Their passing is spot on at the moment, making no mistakes

Why do you keep sticking a finger up on every post? Are you a lunatic?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Our midfield is disgusting.

We really need a big money signing in there in January.

 

[Tin-Tin]

I know its City and not Newcastle/Burnley but how can anyone think that 45 mins is acceptable. Sloppy passes, weak in the challenge, turning back constantly and just playing hopeless long balls up to nobody.

Moose Kean will come on and torment Cancelo ..... 0-4

 

[firefighterblue]

Not much but it's a lot more than Gylfi currently lol

Just need to take better care of the ball when we have it because we've given it back to them far too cheaply.

Retain possession and be a bit smarter and we can get at their back like who look at bit suspect to the ball over the top.

The 3 midfielders run about a lot. But to.make any type of challenge we need a lot better than Davies, siggy and Delph (states the obvious)

 

[TheBigIguana]

City know Holgate isn't confident going left and they've easily taken away any build up down that side by forcing him that way.

The late change has forced us to be more defensive, it’s just lucky for us that it’s been Mahrez and Jesus with the chances and not Sterling and Aguero. I’d hook either Sig or Davies and get Kean or Walcott on and go back to how we were going to start the game, the Coleman chance showed how we can get behind them with the right chances

 

[lungo]

People expecting Ancelotti to magically turn Davies and Siggy into world class playing within a week

Decent would be nice. World class comes later!

 

[Davidoff]

Need to pass better

 

[brieverton]

This is a game where you just drop your pretensions and hit the ball long every time to at least give DCL and Richarlison a chance to run onto something.

Worse case scenario is that it comes straight back at us, but that happens anyway.

At least try to turn them and give their defenders some work to do.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Sidibe is not helping Coleman out much.

 

[Jamiednm]

Why don’t we just fire balls at their goal?

 

[Jimishorts]

They can only make 3 subs thankfully

Unfortunately it could be Aguero, Sterling and Silva

City fans fuming at how we're playing

Sorry lads, we're not playing for you
