I mean it’s not pretty but that’s 5 consecutive drawn halves v Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City, and you have to give a bit of credit for that.

Yeah but City has lost 8 of there last 9 games. So thats makes it a little bit different...

You do, but this game can be won. City just need pressing and their nerves will do the rest.

Dychie doesnt like Broja. An immigrant and not speaking any existing english dialect. No thanks.

He was born in Slough.

I disagree I think Everton should top Manchester City from scoring again first and then should score another goal

Would settle for that

 

[DanB90]

The best thing about that goal for me, is you just know Doucoure’s pass was meant for Dom.

 

[Richard Alex]

We need to get in their faces and be aggressive.
The performance is too passive for me.
Branthwaite doesn’t look on it, seems a bit nervous.
DCL looks half arsed and our passing needs to improve.
City don’t look themselves at all.

Mangala id take off at half time.

Think hes a poor player aside from short passes and today hes given the ball away im promising positions and doesnt spot attacking runs from DCL.



All part of the gameplan.

Because no one else does. DCL has give up the ghost so you can't blame Mangala for his paucity

 

[Big Sams Undies]

City not really looked like scoring to be honest. Not sure I remember a Pickford save

They’ve hit the post, then scored, then missed a sitter. 3 golden chances.

Not sure what game you’re watching.

Against the grain here but i thought DCL improved as the game went on and we actually got players around him, must be awful to be so isolated. Swap Harrison for Lindstrom or Broja more attacking threat.

He was born in Slough.

Slough is in Albania?

Pickford not saved any of them then ? We are not getting battered here, or certainly not in that first hapf

 

[Axlswhk]

Its effective football and posters are turning off and whinging.

Mental.

Its not effective, its coward football when you don’t try and exploit opponents biggest weakness.

Their confidence is shot. Defensively I don't think he's ever had to be a genius of a coach as offensively he sets his teams up so well. But they're all over the place at the back and it's about having players who can take care of the ball and pick out a runner and we'd be in behind them time after time as they're so high up the pitch

Spot on Mac it's why I'd do those two subs, let us run at them in behind
