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

[Mashtray]

Forget the FA cup if we like this

Never even considered the FA cup after our fixture draw. It's not even worth thinking about at all

 

[Dario Terracotta]

2-1 really masks a poor performance, only consolation is Ancelotti will have now seen this team for what we have seen most of the season.

 

[blueloon]

Really mind numbing first half from us, did Sidebe touch the ball more than twice, thought we were going to bore City to death. Odd that we didn’t hit the ball to DCL more, he’s actually showing a bit on control of the ball on the ground these days. Time for Carlo to pick his back four , work on them and make them sound defensively, Mina is looking good these days .

 

[WeAreEvertonians]

They don't. Back to Siggy, you really don't rate him?

No, he’s been atrocious this season. As he was in season 1.

 

[Prevenger17]

No, he’s been atrocious this season. As he was in season 1.

Agreed. Needs dropping, doesn't he?

 

[Billysgingham.]

Yes, they look like they are running in thigh deep mud. In my rugby playing days I was a swift centre and could run at 11secs for the 100m. Those days are decades ago, but I reckon even today i could outsprint the majority of Everton’s squad

Are you sure about the 11 secs mate or has it got quicker as the years have past be honest with the internet.

 

[Howards tipple]

On a positive note...CA will make sure we get a world class centre mid who wont shy away from big games

 

[PDAWG]

Average . Jesus got 15 goals KDB one of the best players in the world

Foden/Rodri/Garcia/Cancelo/Mendy/Bravo/Gündogan all starting

As easy a City team as you're ever likely to play

The back 4 could have got off for a pint during most of the game

 

[BlueToff]

Need to drop Siggy in these sorts of games. He might as well be in the crowd, all that watching he does

It should have been either him or Davies with Delph in the middle. No point having them both in there getting on top of each other. And they were both useless.

 

[dannyboy]

...I think that’s fair, but you have to give yourself a chance. Sheffield United only lost narrowly to them recently, Wolves have beaten them twice. City are superior but if you go into any game believing you have no chance, you have no chance.

This wasn’t a strong City team, I thought we were too respectful.

For whatever reason it is we have been dreadful and giving the top teams anything to worry about away from home over the last 20 years. Just gotta hope Ancelotti´s the man to get us showing some real quality in these games.

 

[ilikecheese]

I voted Richarlison solely because of the hustle to get to the far post and bury the chance.

 

[blue to the bone]

He forgot to say he could run it going backwards

 

[streeky]

Strange to take off seamus, sidibe was appalling.

 

[WeAreEvertonians]

They don't.

They do. They really do.

 

[Seathestars]

Can’t help but think we missed a chance to grab something
It was almost like we just wanted that one out of the way.
I think Ancelotti will know now if he didn’t already, big building job on his hands.
