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

[HTCHERO]

The prem is the best League in the world everyone loves it. Can we all be honest the league is it absolute joke we just played the team that spent the most money and they had a shot at 70 minutes ish. Blue card that game...football died years ago here.

 

[Blue Roo]

Jack was our most effective ‘presser”. Ran his nads off as usual , much more effective than our number 9.

Sure but with the ball...well he's plying 10 ain't he

 

[GoldenToffee]

Just watching this Fofana guy Burnley got on loan. Good acquisition that. Missed two sitters today but he's lively. Almost a hybrid between DCL and Beto

Frightening.

 

[Jeff Jones]

City just slapped in a 100m bid for Branthwaite on the spot.

In a cash plus Stones deal?

 

[IllinoisBlue]

That was a hard fought 0 points, we defended well for a long period. What’s going on with DCL? He could not hold the ball up at all and his passing was awful.

How are you mate?

Not a bad day results wise at all.

Hello mate...I am very well and thank you for asking ... I'm hoping you are similarly sanguine. Results today?...very good relatively speaking. I must confess to being a bit conspiratorial about events this season and the subsisting agenda against our PL status, so I maintain a a somewhat resigned comportment toward the season's day to day, but hey-ho, we shall see how things pan out.
Regardless, the sun will rise tomorrow, and so long as I am alive to greet it, I'll keep being grateful

 

[Sharpattack]

I’d rather be competitive in the championship and enjoy watching us PLAY football, not defend and concede possession every single week with the slowest counter attacking forward

 

[COYB75]

Lets not forget when modern football started. When the biggest and most successful clubs at the time wanted a bigger slice of the pie and sod everyone else. When the original scabs of football screwed over the football league and the smaller clubs and started the Prem. You bleat about modern football when your club were one of the instigators of it.

This is sadly true, we set up our own downfall with the greed that created the Premier League. We were part of the so called ‘Big 5’ and yet within a couple of years we had become just another average to [Poor language removed] team. Depressing but true. Can’t really point at City and any others with money and talk about greed when we helped to start the money obsessed league that we have today.

The score was 0-0 when Godfrey got ill and had to be substituted.

Just saying!!

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

All I can say is that there a lot of very fine performances against probably the best side in Europe given our limitations. Once they scored the first goal there was no chance of us getting back but there was no lack of willingness to try. I was torn between Branthwaite and Tarkowski for MoM but have gone for Tarks, with Idrissa not far behind.

While on the subject of Tarks, he started the game as match captain so I don't understand this handing over the armband to Seamus when he came on. Seamus is, quite rightly, club captain and that doesn't change just because he didn't start the game. Tarks was captain at kick off and should keep the armband until the end unless he's substituted (as if that would happen!)

You quite happy us surviving and scrapping for the next however many years then? No time soon are we going to break out the bottom half of the table, not with current owner or new mentioned owners or current squad/manager

Good to way to view things in general. It’s difficult to take football seriously now with all the off the field skullduggery. The sport is gone and won’t be back.

We woud be out of the bottom half this season if they didn't have a asterisk next to our name.

Supposedly down to him not getting any service mate.
