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

can't even review two yellows anymore these days can you?

 

[Blues Harp]

Why because I have dithering views you utter knobhead

No because you are continually negative about EFC on here imo ..always respect "dithering" views ..where do you sit in Goodison ? if you do you are one of the Boo boys..you just havent a clue lad

 

[a bell maul]

Who posted Sterling has never scored against us?

 

[steele]

I would gladly drink a pint for a point, but feel sorry for Holgates missed clearance. The young boys did really well and this must be Jags best match for years. DCL was immense, but we still need a new striker. Sigurdsson was very quite, hopefully he needs more matches

 

[Kantareller]

First half decent. Second half pathetic. We should have won this, makes me angry.

 

[ProZ]

What's pep doing there? Bailed it down the tunnel tryna beat the traffic.

 

[Niapper]

Lucky to get 1 point

 

[Florin]

I have that same deflated feeling like the United game last season.

I know, I would cheerish a 0-0 but this makes me feel uneasy.
Although it's a relief after those last couple of minutes.

 

[Efcjake]

A point is a good result but I'm still fuming that we never looked like taking advantage of being a man up and shot ourselves in the foot at the end.

Bitter pill to swallow but that's what happens when you sit back constantly and invite it.

 

[bluestevon]

10 a side and we'll -loose it, need to avoid that scenario.

1-0 up with 1 man more and 45 mins to play but we bottled it , City were hungrier

Yet got 1 point at their own ground, yeah champions elect their mate

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I'd have settled for it before the match... But not now. Not sure why we switched to 4 at the back and klaassen has been a waste of space for 4.8 out of 5 games I've seen him in now

Arguably saved us a point at the end there.

 

[zzr45]

Christ, games like that are why you watch football, gutting to get pegged back but a lot better than we thought.

 

[Joey66]

Phew.

A point is acceptable for me if you offered that before the match.

Better performance than last season imo!

 

[chrissyjack]

Right . I'm off to the Asda , daughter needs some bits . I'll let you cry-arses take over

 

[yakublue]

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.

Lol. nobodys going to bite when you make it that obvious Dave. Get another hobby

 

[brieverton]

We bottled that again. Players didn't believe we could win and reverted to type for the whole 2nd half.
Point ok when all said and done but just not sure how this mental block we have in games like this when we were a goal up against 10 men is going to go away.
We won't get many other opportunities like that.
There was just a total and utter inevitability they would find a way to equalise, just like game at Old Trafford last year.
No leadership on the pitch again.
DCL MOM by a mile for us.
