Match Thread Man City 1-1 Everton. Dec 26th . 12.30

[JammyP]

How to choose between Pickford and Ndiaye? Two very happy moments in a positive display.

Mangala is absolutely class. Got a feeling Broja would be a decent number 9 if he started games. I'm sure the bottom teams would be interested in both, esp Leicester who have a 50 year old upfront hooked on red bull

And look where Forest are without much class in the changing room - just determination. Nuno gets a tune out of them.

Which teams other than the current bottom 3 would take any of our midfield and attacking players other than Ndiaye? The defence is very good but the rest of the squad is poor and needs improving.

Chelsea

 

[GN!]

Gonna give my vote to pickers

Thought Gana and Mangala were understatedly good real solid

If we’d shown a small amount of better quality in an attacking sense we could have won that. Most other teams in the league would have beaten that city team.

Watched MOTD this morning, still can't believe we mucked up the 4 v 2 situation against City of all sides.
That game was there for the taking .

A clear as day indication of how we have zero attacking/finishing coach at the club, that’s two in two games.

Chelsea and city could have been 6 points, and should have been.

Stay humble.

Once upon a time this club was not happy to see the team play for draws match after match. The expectations were misguidedly high. Now we're reduced to approving of this mess.

You watch Fulham and Forest and Bournemouth and we're just miles and miles away. It's shameful.

It depends who we are playing I don't buy all this BS that RS come out with you can't celebrate a draw. We kept a clean sheet against an Arsenal side who scored 5 at Palace. We were unlucky not to beat Chelsea and played well yesterday, I do think some Everton fans just look for things to moan about. If we go into Forest game, with Dyche trying to get a draw and fans accept it, that's a problem. But accepting that getting 3 draws, when we expected 3 defeats isn't accepting mediocrity.

Are Everton playing well this season?

Simpleton fans celebrating a clear offside goal. It’s no wonder they all think Guardiola is some sort of football professor.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Hadn't seen a MotM poll run so close ever, but in the last 12 hours or so there's been a surge to Pickford, Ndiaye was a vote or two ahead until now. It was that close, even with the votes in 3 figures for each. Neck and neck.

 

[Old Blue 2]

Worth a look from head-on. Pickford extracting the urine from Haaland...

 

[Jeff Jones]

They actually don't get any training in attacking do they.
4 on 2, last minute of the game, and we completely mess it up.

That was easily winnable.

They were laughing at us on ESPN.

Dan Thomas loves it when Everton are struggling.

You know I have to say I don't think you've ever been the game? it's pretty normal to celebrate for a moment when you're behind the goal, since you know you can't see he's offside from there.
