Match Thread Everton v Manchester City - Team Prediction, Match Report & MotM Poll

[larbert toffee]

We can take great pride in the lads for that first half performance, thought Paterson is playing with more confidence but will have to watch himself on that booking.

Everton. Everton. We're forever Everton. All for one. One for all. Everton are the team that play the greatest football. Everton. Everton. Everton.

 

[Delargeinho]

so do i for you to post it!

Haha yeah, I hope I don't jinx it.

 

[roy vernon]

Got to be thinking about getting Calvert Lewin on soon, there's just nothing sticking in the City half with Beto up there.

 

[Frenk]

Can someone tell me why Rodri wasn't booked there ? Patterson booked for doing what City have done on a couple of occasions this half. Played really well and if not for a fantastic save off Ederson could have been two.

Corruption

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Patterson is making me nervous but I have faith in him

He's been really good against one of the best wingers in the league.

 

[YoboCopter]

I think this might be changing of the guard

Dyche> pep

 

[Tipp blue]

So as it stands we're the new Club World Champions right?

I believe that's how it works alright.

 

[when i score we riot]

We are looking good in the lead here, hope we can see it in. I'd doubt we make it though, seeing how dangerous City are on the attack, it's quite nerve-wracking to see them come forward against us.

The form of Mykolenko, Pickford and Tarkowski will see us through i hope. But i need to see more from the midfield, they're getting passed by and around. Gotta give a mention to Beto and Harrison by the way, decent halves by them.

Gomes like a lost dog, Beto has the first touch of a brick, but otherwise tough and hard working performance scaring the crap out of them frequently

After initial 10 minutes Gomes has been just fine mate. Agree with the rest.

It’s not sticking, but sometimes you just need that little bit of chaos that a player like Beto can provide.

 

[matty1878]

second half wel be under
pressure gotta concentrate

 

[Nosidoog]

Gotta admit that Dyche is doing a great job with essentially the same group of players that Lamps couldn’t a performance out of

 

[pfim]

They’ve had their moments but we have been very, very sharp when we win the ball in the attacking half.

Beto needs to hold the ball better.

Could see Coleman on for Patterson at some point with Patterson on a yellow.

 

[Strumpet]

And its Everton.

But we HAVE to start realising that this is an Everton side that is dangerous, competes, and has some real quality in places. Yes, this is a City team with quality in a number of areas but don't right us off. Optimism!
