Match Thread Manchester City v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Ducans elbow]

Can only get better

Cant it

 

[blueblueday]

Was actually good defending by Garcia

I guess so but it happens again and again

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Happy with nil nil at half time

 

[Mickey]

Job done. We go AGANE.

 

[tadpole]

VAR I LOVE YOU !!!

 

[Billysgingham.]

We look like headless chickens here

Quite the opposite really.

 

[TheBigIguana]

We are fine as long as they keep the 3 CBs because they can't overload us with numbers. If they push Rodri into midfield we will be in trouble because we are showing no quality at all with the ball.

Pep knows Fernandinho and the other lad can't handle Richie and DCL on their own but at some point he's going to go for it and we won't survive if Pickford is hitting balls 40 yards away from them and the midfield can't play a single forward pass.

 

[Uncle Vitor]

And as it turns out he’s put two on a plate this half, who has done more?

You can’t use that as a barometer. Tom Davies isn’t much better either. We need a clear out.

Sigurdsson is a Swansea level player not Everton.

 

[maccavennie]

Can someone explain to me what Delph brings to the game?

Not much but it's a lot more than Gylfi currently

Just need to take better care of the ball when we have it because we've given it back to them far too cheaply.

Retain possession and be a bit smarter and we can get at their back like who look at bit suspect to the ball over the top.

 

[ProZ]

To be honest I was hoping for half time for the majority of that so they can get in for Carlos wisdom

 

[Tony1985]

Can’t get my head around the negativity here, it’s city away, it’s not like we are going to dominate.
Decent defensive display frustrating them, there should be chances for us later on hopefully.

 

[ValBlue]

Right, 0-0 at half time is sound!
Little glimpse of hope with a set piece chance at the end reinforces the fact that we can nick something here
Very legitimate concerns about Davies’ mobility on the wings and missing person Sig but let’s hope that can be addressed with a strong team talk and subs
COYB

 

[Jadubsee]

Our passing has been lamentable.

 

[devogue]

0-0 not bad. People overreacting imo, City are 1000x times better than Brnley and Newcastle

 

[Walken]

we still have too many players who can't really look after the ball
