Match Thread Manchester City v Everton - Team Prediction, Waffle, Match Report & MotM Poll

Looking for the positives, we're in the same position as before the game. But Luton lost in their supposedly easiest home game, while we lost in our supposedly hardest away game. Still depressing tho.

Think we played well players stuck to the plan and kept the shape. Has given me more confidence with more players to come back,

and we’ve played city twice now in 3 weeks

nobody this season will go there and win now

We were knocking the ball quite nicely at one point towards the end from the back. Just when we get towards the final third we have no creativity. I look at forest and Luton and they have goals in them but awful defences.

We are the opposite

Last season we didn't have a striker to put the ball in the back of the net. Now we have options but are sticking with the one that currently can't put it in the back of the net.

I understand trying to play him into confidence but it's not happening for the lad. Time to try and mix it up and see what the others can do. Need doucs back too.

Just woke up and seen the result...pretty happy with a negative 2 GD. And Luton losing was very pleasing

How are you mate?

Not a bad day results wise at all.

I absolutely despise Manchester City

Tolerated them until that game over Xmas. But the relentless diving and the decisions they won really put me off them. Plus their fans. But they are the lesser of 2 evils.

Been the same all season. Although we did go on a little goal rush at some point. Not sure how this will change. But it does feel strikers shoulders dropping more and more each week

 

[Maine road Man]

You're right. Most of those local fans from the 90s have been priced out and replaced by tourists. Sad to say that City have become like united with all the tourists.

Not quite true. We have 36000 ST holders and lots of them are older blues who've seen the bad times. I think we may attract between 5 to 8 thousand tourists for league games and upto 15000 for CL games. Lot's ot City fans have been priced out because it's become too expensive for many. And our owners love tourists because they spend more.

Crap from Branthwaite - just snap that wannabe viking tit

 

[Maine road Man]

I mean, they are, they're huge in relative terms but they are the ultimate 'product'.
A real club seems to have been taken and replaced with a consumer product.
It all sounds bitter on my part but I really don't see the attraction in what city have become.
I dont even hate them like my irrational hatred of Newcastele.
They jus exist, their only purpose, to stop Liverpool racking up titles.
They've become the ultimate 'meh' club.

You do have point there, we have! We've become like what we despised at united, a money making machine. Local Mancs used to be appreciated, not anymore. Rich tourists( customers )are more important than us legacy supporters, unfortunately. Every year except one ST and match tickets have increased. I binned my ST off 2 years ago because i couldn't afford it. I still go when i can though.

Tarks MOTM for me. The fellah is solid

 

[Azza]

First on MOTD. Have some of that Masters.

 

[Jacko93]

On that Jack Harrison chance, has the been no mention at all of it striking the defenders hand?

 

[Bwana]

With that performance we're in Europe.

 

[Jacko93]

It only bounces out to Harrison because it can off the hand of the defender. Yes it was close, but his hand was in an un-natural position and prevented it from going across goal. Not even a check.
