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

[everton2004]

We've known Lukaku has been leaving since March, why are we starting with DCL and Rooney in our attack with the end of the window closing?

Awful management.

Probably because we haven't brought in a striker yet.

Knife to a gunfight.

8-0-2 formation.

Pathetic.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Complaining about the manager when we haven't conceded and not kicked off the second game smh

It is shocking really. We've signed players we need, true, but also players we don't need (Klaassen) instead of filling much more important positions. If we don't get a striker we might as well find something else to watch on the weekends because the league will count for nothing when we finish between 7th and 10th. Desperate for us to get some PROVEN quality in up top.

Well I ain't THAT confident!

 

[hktoffee]

so mediocrities like moyes can get us to 7th. and Ronald should stay because of that???

First, you don't have a crystal ball.

Tell me which team (or the manager) ain't mediocrity when you don't spend as much as Sky6? Leiciester for one season.

we are going to get spanked.Any decent streams?

welcome back D

pretty grim from Golf Lundgren alright.

how many more games should we give him?

 

[davek]

£140m spent and we stick 8 behind the ball.

'Kin genius.

 

[Ihaters]

Just had a word with Ronald
The plan is to wait for the eclipse, flick the floodlights off and then, errr ...

Make out with Gylfi's bird?

 

[KaiserEFC]

The tunnel club lol if we ever become like that I hope we implode.

It's deep, but injuries are part of football. Europa could be a thorn in our side if we don't rest players enough.

yeah, but in our defence we can't just go out and buy replacements for all them. I'm sure if all were fit we'd say we only need a striker (basing on numbers now, not quality). I think we have enough players to rotate thankfully, but yeah, 3-0 up would have been so much better, players like rooney could have been rested without worry, i hope he will be anyway tbh.

Our midfield won't get a sniff tonight, doesn't matter how many grinders you chuck into the starting lineup city will just pass around them. The difference in class is gigantic.

I'm going to guess we get 24% possession and one of the most negative displays in recent years, something which would make Moyes proud. Fingers crossed I'm completely wrong and some smug twunt vaults this post in a couple hours.

Honestly, this is a case of Koeman trying to get a result here, not a performance, taking a leaf out of Jose's book if you will.
It's not the pretties tactic in the world, but as we showed yesterday, it works, and games like this are usually the difference between thursday's night football, and Champions league nights
