Match Thread Man City 2-0 Everton, Sat, 18/10, 3.00 pm

[Efcjake]

Nah eff that. I wanna win

We all do but I'd settle for that draw right now

 

[Mr PEN86]

Looking at the bench. What options we thinking? Actually thinking 0-0 around 70mins Dibling could do a job with a City team progressively coming forward leaving space in behind.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Let the cliché role when we get the only goal.

 

[Toffeepot]

Much better approach from Moyes, counter attacking quickly and patient when we have the ball.

Savinho getting behind too easily, 3 times Myko's been passed.

Doku and Savinho were always going to beat the FBs at times

 

[Mr PEN86]

Ndiaye £80 mill at least

You missed a 1 in front of the 8 mate

 

[ElGato]

Good half of football

We've got a clear game plan and are executing it really well. Nice and quick on the transition and using Beto well, who is giving both of their centre halves trouble with his movement and physicality. Alcaraz, Gueye and Dewsbury-Hall look threatening when we jump out of our shape and press, and we just need to be a bit more clinical when we make turnovers. Ndiyae has been unplayable, best player on the pitch and looks well up for it. Could argue we've had the better chances, but going in level seems fair given that they should have done better with a few as well

Sitting back and asking them to play around us is probably the best approach, but they have two fantastic wingers in Savinho and Doku who, once they get one on one, can make it count. That's where the danger is at the moment, but I don't think we can do much about it other than hope and pray

Been a great watch so far

It’s the standard what he does is good but he doesn’t do anything for 15 minutes straight

Bored of you now. On to ignore.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Doku and Savinho were always going to beat the FBs at times

Doku been kept quiet tbh. Nuified him for the most part. Sav as been a menace. Lucky for us his decision making is Beto-esque

 

[Bebeto]

Decent half. Defended well, attacked pretty well.

Obrien for me continue to be the weak link in this team...nearly scored an own goal, and unable to stop or even slow doku. He is the best we have though in that position.

 

[BigBeto1]

To have Ndiaye and Grealish and no striker of note is criminal

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Good half but they are going to be pinging the FB's out wide in the seccond. Crowd sounded good for us! N'Daiye is having a field day here. Alcaraz not so much. could see moyes bringing on eitherRohl or iroegbunam to hold the draw after 65 mins and withdraw Charly.
Myko and Tarky taking turns to make me nervous

 

[heatmeiser]

These are for taking.

Problem is, they can freshen it up by bringing on Marmoush, Silva and Gvardiol and we will be bringing on McNeill, Barry and Tim Iroegbunam.

I'm still hopefully we can nick something, but that's the difference

 

[Blue Roo]

Cmon Moyes Dibling for Beto.
Whadya worried about we got Michael Keckenbauer

 

[banno]

Ndiaye is some player

 

[TheBigIguana]

Cmon Moyes Dibling for Beto.

Who is going up top? Beto is doing a lot for us, just not what we ultimately need
