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

Tactically I think the manager has got it right thus far

I know some don't like it when we play like this, but needs must

I can live with this sort of backs against the wall overly defensive set up if it's done with an eye to actually win the game

Mr. Ancelotti clearly has a game plan here and wants to win, not just survive

We look so much more confident in possession a lot of it down to Gomes. Defended very well, what’s Virginia had, that one save to make from the shot right at him from Sterling?
It’s just worrying to look at their bench and see De Bruyne, Mahrez and Aguerro

Good play

Richy looking a different player than the Burnley abomination

Close....

Need to start using Digne's run in these counters. He's got the best delivery so I don't know why they go alone or cross themselves.

Goodisons roof would have blown off by now.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Oh wow, great header and equally great defending

Hope we take confidence from this

 

[ste d' indica]

Great corner Lucas.

 

[PhilM]

That was either sneaking in or coming back off the post.

Needs to use his teammates better. They’ve been in decent positions when he has the ball and he’s jus putting his head down and going
