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

Whenever we play for the draw, we get tonked. Just saying

when Martinez was on the ropes we didn't exactly know that Koeman or anyone else would be hired. Any decent manager should and would get us to finish 7th. The likes of Pulis and Allardyce with the money we have would probably get us to 7th ffs.

Hahahahahahaha

I think Rooney is a little bit wasted here tbh (lack of pace to support him). I can't blame Koeman as he is simply trying not to be slaughtered today. He knows the result is less than likely and he is looking towards Europa.

It's been far far worse

Ah the classic Moyes 4 - 6 - 0 formation. Was that the game where Cahill scored and then got sent off for celebrating? I was at that one, it was horrific.

Did you not tune in at 3pm last Saturday?

Nope, was away on a bachelor party weekend and couldn't watch the match. Though is what you're getting at the fact that DCL put a cross in for Rooney to score? It was a good cross but its about the only time I've seen him do anything of note playing that position and from what I had read he was pretty gash in the first half besides that.

Not that any of this is anything new, he's been doing this whole non-winger on the wings since Bolasie got injured.

I'm so angry at Seb Coe for making us playing tonight and Thursday.

Their Midfield is pretty light weight though, very easy to be overrun

Think that's the only thing in our favour tonight mate, because we've got no pace or width.

Indeed, never works and won't work today either.

 

[strummer]

team selections like tonight have him on the hot seat for me, yes.

This was the tale I used to scare my new converts who had never seen us play without Lukaku in the squad.

They have no idea what the wilderness years were like.

I think that was a few years beforehand, as I think the game you were at was his first goal for us.

Right, well maybe give your head a bit of a wobble.

We have 2 more games in less than a week.

You want him to put out a gung ho attacking side in every game?

[mightymoyes]

take rooney out of the team and the rest of them must have about 20 PL goals between them, grim
