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

[Bebeto]

Have a feeling it'll be a long tense second half. Mostly because it's Everton.

Or because we're playing city...they have unbelievable quality in those players...thank for pickford in that first half.

Tough 1st part of the 1st half where we could have been 3down. But from our goal, it’s been a lot of just us.

we’ve got another half mate to keep it up

 

[steven]

Been great so far - carried on the levels from spurs.

Beto been a pain for them up too. Everyone doing a good job. Big second half.

Whatever happens though, if we keep the majority of the squad fit we are a top ten side this season.

 

[Delargeinho]

We did well, hope we keep up the stat. We haven't lost under Dyche when leading.

 

[strummer]

Love the fight in this team. Awesome half

And its Everton.

 

[PeregrineT]

Great half, 1-0 up on City with them only having a few chances is good. Would be an amazing 45 minutes here if we can hold on or add a second.

 

[MIKE85]

Is it actually a official directive that Rhodri can't get booked in the prem

City DMs never get booked. Remember Fernandinho?

 

[Chegsy]

Tough start but we grew into it and the goal give us confidence. Started to give them a game and closed the half out well.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Gomes like a lost dog, Beto has the first touch of a brick, but otherwise tough and hard working performance scaring the crap out of them frequently

Beto Couldn’t trap a bag of cement

Awkward as hell to play against though

 

[Davidoff]

Yes blues

Pressing them high and getting back in numbers

Great effort from the lads

 

[yakublue]

Utft

 

[Lude]

Defense like a f*g wall.

Great stuff that.

COYB!
UTFT !

 

[dublinbluenose]

Weathered the first 20 and we've been comfortable enough while trying to be creative. I'd say that was Dyche's plan and they've followed it to a tee.
