Match Thread Man City v Everton - Sunday 21st November 2pm. Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[roy vernon]

Went with Godfrey for MOTM, only candidates were him Townsend or Gordon.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Disciplined enough.

Two moments of genius just kicked us in the balls.

A full fit team and we're 6th-10th.

A few injuries and we're 10th-16th.

It is what it is.

 

[tommytowne]

Without doubt now it will be damage limitation for the remainder of the season.
I know it's absolute arrogance on my part to suggest it, but Benitez will be targeting those games that he thinks we will get at least a point and hopefully fluke a win.
That's how bad we are.

 

[Runub]

How much can we spend in Jan?

1.7m seems a popular figure on here.....see it all the time, over and over and over again

 

[Tigger]

We're with Arsenal and Leicester as "middle to big teams" losing to The Big Three this weekend.

Well it's something.

No it's the big 8 isn't it in the best league in der werld? Load of crap.

 

[summerisle]

Wish there was another international break.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Predictably poor and we struggled to cross the half way line an injury to Gray and another booking for Richarlison is not what we need as with them and DCL out for the next game I can't see who is going to score.

 

[Dykovski200]

Really looking forward to the derby

 

[Joey66]

Rallying call from Seamus imminent.

He was poor Coleman today defensive wise his legs are gone finished sadly Godfrey was are only defender who came out with any credit - Anthony Gordon 100 percent effort, but tired we played the ball like a hot potato - no leaders on the pitch ......

 

[Brownie]

Shameful how much of a non-event these games have become. Nothing new, but still disappointing.

 

[Zatara]

Its been a long time since ive seen such a defeated bunch before a match.

No heart.

No desire.

No management on view.

Pathetic.

 

[ossie_21]

I honestly think the plan for this season is to just try and hold on to our spot in the league, make a big sale (likely Richarlison, but who is losing value every week) to steady the ship and then try some additional creative accounting to try and re-build the squad for next season

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Who els would we put out there?

That really was the best starting eleven we had available.

Wasn’t commenting about player selection. More that we went with the most basic game plan possible and never looked like pulling it off. If you’re going to set up to play 11 players in your own half, backs to the wall, you at least want to make it difficult for the better team. That was easy for city, players looked like that was the first time they’d met each other.

 

[allen]

Went down how we all thought it would.

 

[Joey66]

Totally, I was being sarcastic. It really annoys me when managers make such changes with only seconds left to the game.

I know
