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

[Mashtray]

Yeah good half that

 

[Death]

Showing a lot more heart than the dozens and dozens of cowards pre match.

 

[Timbucktoo]

Good first half. Only dodgy moment was Holgate on Foden just inside the area. If he'd gone to ground would've been a peno.

 

[mahermi1]

Played brilliantly this first half, better team for the last 20 minutes of it. Gomes has been superb as has Ritchie and Godfrey, them three have really stood out.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Reminds me of that City half against Fulham recently, went in 0-0 at half time after Fulham had played their way back into it after a grim opening 20 minutes.

City scored three in no time after the restarts, two from Fulham mistakes.

We've got to keep our concentration, keep going, keep working.

 

[Parker]

It irritates me when the commentators constantly bleat about a team dropping deep.

Because, as you all know, you're supposed to play to your opponents strengths and not your own...

 

[MercuryBlue88]

Very pleased so far, all its going to take is one moment.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Not a bad half that, we’ve been solid and not let them overawe us, started to get a foothold and press them too. The game’s there for us, we just need to keep doing what we’re doing at both ends

 

[MikeH72]

Im sure the stats would suggest differently.

See what I mean about football being all about the eyes.

Stats say they’ve dominated yet Virginia hasn’t even been half tested.

 

[blueconverse]

Putting a solid performance in here. Oliver is a massive virgin

 

[Lee Smith]

Think that was a very decent half that. We actually look like a team with a bit of confidence, and are actually managing to pass the ball to each other on a fairly regular basis. Nice and snappy in the tackles too. More of the same second half please.

 

[Toast]

Good half...how fernandinho hasn't been booked is beyond me

He’s the same every week mate.

He will get a yellow second half, but gets away with loads of proper snide ones before he will get booked.

 

[Lad from Vienna]

Good first half. Only dodgy moment was Holgate on Foden just inside the area. If he'd gone to ground would've been a peno.

Fair play to Foden there. He looked good in the first half.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Im sure the stats would suggest differently.

See what I mean about football being all about the eyes.

No the stats would suggest we're in this so far.

 

[bag a yoko]

Johnny Virgin has been solid.
