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

[Sharpies volley]

If we had two or three players with burning pace we'd be great on the break.

 

[Bluepablo]

Everyone’s been great apart from iwobi, contributed nothing, terrible, bring king on and we might snatch it coyb

Think Iwobi has been decent. He’s started most of the few attacks & put in a shift defensively.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Dont forget it wasnt till the second half that they took apart Liverpool and Spurs if I remember correctly.......

 

[Death]

Flavour country

 

[Zezti]

ffs we’re playing the best attacking team in the country you have to adjust to how you set up

You have to be vs Man City...

I'm not talking about just this game
Anyway not having a moan despite how it sounds

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Some people think he’s poo still....

Our best defender for almost a year now.

I’ve come round on Mina as well now to be honest. Look best when we’re sitting deep mind you

 

[bluerobert]

Seriously?

Honestly, I’m fairness Owen is talking about his close control and says it reminds him of Zidane when he played with him. Dixon basically calls Foden Messi in how he runs and in Fairness to Owen he kind of calls Dixon on it

 

[Rob17896]

I shudder to think where we'd be this season without him. His goals as well as his defending. Immense

He is superb.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Whatever happens in the second half against far and away the class of the league, we've shown yet again that we put in a horrible performance we no longer down tools and go into a weeks long funk. We've bounced back. The next step as a club is to get a little more squad depth and put our foot on the necks of teams we should beat. It's in these players mentally more than prior years, I think Fulham was both physical and (maybe more) mental exhaustion. If you've ever played a sport you know that sometimes you just can't get fully up for every game no matter how hard you try

They shredded RS in second half so hold youe horses

 

[dead_soft]

Someone please tell me why we got Micheal Owen speaking about an Everton game, you would never see Duncan speaking on a Liverpool game

To be fair, I think a lot of local Liverpool fans have very little time for the traitorous little rat

 

[Charlie Burnett]

We have Micheal Owen saying on his weaker foot it was hitting bottom corner it was a goal if it didn’t hit Coleman, how much guess work is that

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Kind of helps not having a career threatening foot infection and being given intravenous ket - a la Unsy's Southampton game

My whole opinion of him changed after reading about his first season with us. Poor lad took it all on the chin as well, a true professional

 

[Liamliverpool86]

the duke and tom have been quality - both lost possession a few times but there work rate and general control with the ball has been decent

keane and godfrey as well very fgood - richarlison after the goal turned into a snide and thats what will unsettle defenders not just jogging round get in there face

 

[Mkjjones]

We have to have an outlet. Do not try and soak up another 45 minutes of pressure, it won’t work.

Yep sitting in your box will always result in a goal if you do it too long, even if you defend well, all it takes is a deflection like what we just saw to give them a lead.
