Match Thread Everton 0-2 Man City. Sat April 19th. 3pm

[Mikey O]

The whole team were poor in the last third of the game.

We all can see Keane is not good enough but I'm not going to put it all on one person when we weren't good enough collectively. We completely ran out of steam for some reason. Quite hard to understand why it happened.

I feel sorry for Keane but unfortunately he looks out of place at this level, is prone to mistakes and he gives the rest of the team the jitters. Even worse he serves as an encouragement to the opposition.

So today I am (again) putting it all on Keane (and Moyes for bringing him on).

Now it's obvious your on a wind up

Villa, West Ham, Man Utd, City and Bournemouth in the cup = terrible.

Maybe I'm missing something, but Garner just doesn't seem to do anything, bar play the role of the invisible man in most games.

The injury to Tarkowski & the yellow for Gana changed the game. Gana stopped close up hustling for fear of the red & City took over & could move forward faster. Keane was a ridiculous choice. Everyone was thinking the same. Move Jake to centre & bring on a right back, probably Patterson.
The 3 subs together didn't work at all. Charlie was poor. Poor passing & left Myko with 2 to mark for the first goal. I'm getting less convinced by him as each game goes. Still would like to see him in the 10 role though rather than the wings. Dwight & Tim offered little.
Thought Harrison had a better game. Lost his energy when he went off. Beto didn't really do anything.
Thought Myko had an excellent game until some of his teammates let him down. His long passing was strong today.

Beto to be fair got no service at all, we were defending for our lives when he came on. Keane makes everyone a bag of nerves.

There was a period in the game where their goalie was having to do far more than pickford. Annoyed at their 2nd goal as it clearly wasnt a corner and although it had a passage of possesion from them from that corner, it should still have been our goal kick.

Good we don’t need the likes of you

Ohhh Buzz Superbloo, you are all we need.... bet you go to the game and everything.

 

[Mikey O]

Bet you here starts next week if Tarkowski isn't available.

shudders!

 

[banno]

The subs had no chance today. Firstly we have to get the ball off them to see if they could affect the game. We couldn't so not a lot they could do. Tarks going off and bringing Keane on was the end for us.

 

[Somerset Blue]

Poor game, Keane is an awful defender who panics and destroys those around him.

 

[mikel_88]

hopefully next week obrien in at cb perfect chance try it out today with experience of young/coleman. Was in the game then felll apart nothing new lack of quality costing us

 

[stretford blue]

Not one of the substitutions had any positive impact on the game

 

[Bluerover]

Keane coming on and Gana going off is what changed that game 100%

3rd last match at the Old Lady and some of our highly paid bloodstock put in cba performances like that.

Serious clear out this summer.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

We lost to the better team.
Both full backs played well and were our best 2 players. Gana played well as did Garner until the former went off.
The following did their chances of being here next year no good at all:

Broja
Alcaraz
Iroegbunam
Harrison
Beto
Keane

So much going forward was Harrison and Doucoure and we all know that really goes nowhere.

Mykolenko motm behind O'Brien, Gana and Pickford.

Ready for the season to be over now tbh

Keane playing for the rest of it has destroyed any enthusiasm I might have had

Keane needs a new contract. What a footballer...
