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

[matty1878]

City showed that they are vulnerable for pressing in 1HF, so Everton has to put that pressure on them, not just sitting at the back.

they can counter so easily

dunno what f
game plan lol

Beto giving Akanji a rough night

With his unorthodox style on top of being huge, powerful and rapid I think he’d ruin anyone’s night tbf!

 

[larbert toffee]

Yep. He's less flamboyant Stones was - who was class for sure, but Branthwaite gives the impression of being more experienced than he actually is. Very composed, makes great decisions and has real ability

Braithwaite is more consistent than Stones ever was.

 

[matty1878]

Beto really needs to go full Niasse because he’s every bit as awful. The only way forward is to embrace it.

he’s not even had a full season

 

[Dublin blue 75]

That city line is temptingly high. There’s a second goal here

 

[Strumpet]

Erm, Tyldesley talks about "dogs of war" just as we play out from the back, go straight up the other end, and have a hit on goal

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Oh no, don't be injured Branthwaite!

 

[TheBigIguana]

he’s not even had a full season

He can’t control a football mate. It’s not an experience issue.

Wolves 4-1, once Maupay has touched you...

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Gomes is more physical in the challenge than Onana.

High praise for Gomes and an indictment of Onana.

That city line is temptingly high. There’s a second goal here

hope so

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

I know it’s dangerous to commit to a tackle, but worries me Patto backing up and letting Grealish dribble slowly from the touchline to the 6 yard box. Needs someone else to come and challenge whilst he back pedals. Its pretty much their only route into our box and it’s done at walking pace.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Beto needed to square to gomes there.

 

[Marius57]

They are hating Beto
