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

Really good defensive touch from Klassen to take it away from a City attempt late on...but I don't trust him yet. He needs to grow in to this team. I hope he's up to the challenge.

Really pleased with that performance. I thought DCL played really well. My only concern is central defence. We really need a quality centre back to play along side Keane. Hope Walsh has his eye on someone.

This isn't an Everton fan.

He's an Everton fan, just a very strange one who enjoys arguing contrarian points on the internet.

For example, if we'd won that 1-0, he'd have called lucky and slammed Koeman for not going for two or three, and it was a hollow victory as a result.

He is what he is. My view is that if people are annoyed by him, just ignore him.

 

[Bob Latchford]

He didnt have to head it. Nobody behind him !

Pretty sure Silva was challenging with him, was harsh on him though. He did well tonight.
I think I'm so calm now due to the language I used when the goal went in.
Industrial it was.

just remember lads

that was a point away to city without sandro, lookman, mirallas, bolasie and a half fit siggy

as the season progresses we will become stronger

cup run here we come

We play that game in January and there's no way City have the legs to run like they did in that second half.

Seemed reminiscent of the game last year - tried to hit them on the counter and the chances didn't materialise. I felt we actually opened up after the substitutions - there were times when the ball was being turned over and City had three or four attackers against our defence. I thought we were far more comfortable against eleven than ten.

Their goal was coming so I wasn't surprised but we are playing without a Lukaku replacement.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Not that the red cards matters too much, we would have still drawn this match IMO. We'll appeal and the suspension is going to get rescinded.

Can't appeal a second yellow he's suspended for Chelsea

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Lookman should've played.

Yep, pace, skill, no fear, would have given City something to think about.

 

[R.Reddington]

On reflection .. ill take that, draw against a top top club at their ground. onward and upwards.

 

[Jimmy Flangemoth]

I see Everton are their usual wimpy self when given the advantage. I'll take the 1 point all day though; as I expected City to shag us daft.

 

[Kantareller]

Can't appeal a second yellow he's suspended for Chelsea

Ah, nevermind then.

 

[Runcornblue52]

Haha uh oh another world class FIFA manager I see.

A man up and you go and press for a second, you don't park the bus and invite the team down a man to attack. Maybe it's you sir who has no understanding of football...yep seems more likely.

Yep ok genius ....Against the most expensive team in the league ...Yeah, OK lads , let's go beat em up!!

 

[blarger]

Aguero is a piece of crap.

Take that point before the game.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Tough,tough place to go and get anything,I think we would all have taken a point pre game, yep Lookman or Mirallas may have stretched City,but Koeman knows both of them better than us, maybe he knows they have an error in them or wouldn't have tracked back, crucial error from Holgate cost us, ten men of City,with the quality they have would cause problems for even the current top four,Pickford made a couple of outstanding saves again,oh and that red or second yellow for Schneiderlin has to be rescinded, take a breath blues and remember, four points and we're still unbeaten,COYB.

 

[coollino]

Worst result of the season so far.
