Match Thread Manchester City v Everton (Mon 21 Aug 2017, 20:00)

[Barnfred 55]

Since wasn't expecting anything am very happy with a point but bit disappointed by our second half performance.

Sums it up nicely. Not many teams will come away from here with anything.

 

[PeregrineT]

Utterly 'kin pathetic.

Hey, thats no way to talk about yourself...gotta have more respect for yourself than that.

 

[matty1878]

Obviously things need to be addressed like getting the second goal etc, but it was a mistake. They were poor first half we was second. It's something to build on

Utterly 'kin pathetic.

Leading a team down to 10 men for the last 55 minutes and shutting up shop for a one goal win then getting hauled back.

Tells you everything you need to know about a team led by a cautious, hide-behind-the couch manager.

 

[GlosBlue]

He showed his hand to Pep and Pep out played him, it's really that simple

I get Koeman was trying to give us a better chance but we've been utter garbage since the changes 1 man up and we've played like we had the man sent off

Outplayed him to get the draw? Wow he really is an outstanding world class manager.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Very poor performance...lucky to get a point...let's hope it is because city is well above the other top 6 team if not then nailed on 7th again.

Yep we should've beaten this lot 10-0. Koeman out.

 

[TGW89]

Considering the worldie Butland Pickford pulled against Shaqiri last week in injury time, 4 pts from the first two is OK with me!

 

[chango]

That's a good result as far as I can see.

 

[Joey66]

Good point that, shame for Holgate, apart from that mistake he was great all night.

That's why he should play lack of match practice great game bar one clanger DCL MOTM !

 

[Daveypefc]

Would have taken that from the start, gutted to find out that pickford can actually be beaten!!

Disappointed we sat back we invited them on to us for that entire 2nd half!!

 

[Hickson9]

Hard to say we didn't bottle that second half, Ronald made the subs for us to go out and get a second and we didn't create one clear cut chance.

Still, defended really well, Holgate, Jags, Baines, DCL, all superb. Well, except Mason's error.

Rooney had the header in the second half.

Yeah... much better to push forward and lose 2-1 in the last minute...

But okay, that's football.

 

[davek]

That second half was criminal. FFS we had them there to pile up a big score against.

And don't get me started on the Davies sub for Klaassen.

 

[Gerbs]

Really? Could just be me, but feel Jose, whether with manu or chelski set up pretty defensively when away against a "top" side?

Not with a man up

 

[Debunkology]

I can imagine Koeman spending the entire 15 minutes of the half time explaining to our players.....go soft.......ref will even it up.....go soft.....ref will even it up...... Best thing that happened to city was us going down to 10 men.
