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

[Azza]

Gueye and Schneiderlin being pulled all over the place by Silva and De Bruyne.

 

[Mozza1987]

We need to get on the ball for a bit

 

[sageyefc]

Yep

Davies showed last week he can't play deeper

 

[DanB90]

We're being pinned so far back Kompany is pretty much taking up a no10 role.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

We can sneak a goal here, but the ref has to give us something.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Good start going both ways for Holgate

But will he come out?

 

[Deleted member 28206]

Already being over run.

 

[zirc]

the main problem with having no pace in the side is that games like these when you would expect to play counterattacking football, you can't.

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

But will he come out?

With our support

 

[Duncan Disordely]

 

[bluekangaroo]

Davies completely anonymous out there right now

 

[hktoffee]

yes and the stats prove it, arsenal have consistently been at or near the very bottom of net spend figures in the past 10 or so years.

So no more Spurs then?

Any link on that? Will be interesting to read.

 

[Adam-GOTTV]

Already being over run.

To be expected given the way we've setup. Evidently looking for DCL in the channels and then moving up the pitch from there, gonna need to ride our luck for a bit. Try and frustrate them.

 

[tim cahill]

Already being over run.

Predictable with such a defensive line up.

 

[dubfade]

not sure Davies has touched the ball yet
