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

[allen]

I'm watching MOTD now, and the tackle was clearly shown in play and as a replay.

They missed a lot, but yeah, they didn’t miss that.

Is Asahi a decent beer?

I like it! But I am something of a Japanophile, so that may be bound up in my opinion.

Happy New Year Everyone.

Very happy with the point earned yesterday!

I have a question for all you fine tacticians out there.....

How come yesterday, MCFC only achieved 3 shots on target?

City fans are a right bunch of spoilt sods. I hope we're not going to get like that after we've won the prem a couple of times.

I'm dreading it mate

I've just watched the whole game. Undoubtedly Gray deserves a MoM shout for his fine individual goal, and overall performance, but I've gone for Jordan Pickford as my choice. An immense performance from England's number one.
I haven't read through all the comments on this thread, but I hope there aren't any of the usual "bunch of cowards unfit to wear the shirt" shouts. Every one of those players stood up to be counted, none of them shirked their responsibility. I just hope this isn't a one-off.

Oh yes, one more thing - the referee was poor, but he always is.

I didn't vote in the poll last night, although I was tempted to vote for Gray for the obvious reason i.e. the goal. Having now seen the full match, I have still voted for Demarai Gray.
Even without the goal I feel that he would certainly have still been in contention. Great attitude from the lad throughout.
The positive effects of confidence can never be under-rated in football. Hopefully this performance may spur him (and the team) on to a run of consistancy.

The negativity from a certain bunch of users on here even after a very decent result speaks volumes really. The same lot who were genuinely hoping we'd get tonked 5 or 6 nil.. lol

I'm dreading it mate

I'm watching MOTD now, and the tackle was clearly shown in play and as a replay.

Just watched again and they did not show the KDB foul, the point I was trying to make and find myself explaining is that if it’s any other team the fouls are discussed, analysed and judged!!!!!

I really thought Man City would beat us by 3 or 4, I didn’t expect us to score. I am more than happy to be proven wrong. While I am more than content with a point away at the home of the Champions I am not foolish enough to think that this point changes our season but it does give us a bit of hope that things are improving. Having DCL or a new centre forward will be a major plus, if we can hold the ball up at the top end of the park it allows time for defenders to get a breather and to reorganise themselves. Next couple of games gives us an opportunity to put some points on the board.

 

[Oddball]

Absolutely shocked we are fist on MOTD, but even more shocked that they did not show the KDB assault or Haalands ’tackle’.

Yet more evidence that the obvious bias we have all commented on are there.

Shearer stuck his oar in plenty "there`s Godfrey giving Haaland another kick" when Godfrey barely touched him. Maupay got tackled in the same way yet nothing. Which way do MOTD want it!

Is Asahi a decent beer?

Yes….

 

[peteblue]

The Gray goal was superb, and this kid has it in his locker to keep doing this. So why not just keep doing it……

There was a BBC article that said we rounded the year with a win.
