Match Thread Manchester City v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[ToffeeTim]

That 2 minutes is a complete nonsense btw. The refs are poor but no excuse not being able to keep time. The breaks for var took up almost 4 minutes.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Have to go direct. Cant understand passing it around the back. Delph at least is trying to pass it forward. The rest of midfield have been woeful.
Happy with 0_0 . They will unleash their bench for a 2 goal win.

Tom davis looks awkward there. I'd have dropped back Richy instead of bernard and put kean up top. Ricky can dribble down wing and give us some territory

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Put Kean on. He does go forward. Put Richarlison on the left & sub Tom. Tell Seamus to actually pass forward rather than run around in circles & get Siggy to drop some balls into the front two. Might not win but let's at least try to go forward.

mid even take Walcott, he’s got pace at least

Thought defensively we are ok,frustrating them by playing from the back,but then giving the ball away so cheaply

 

[Hickson9]

They did win the domestic treble last year.

0-0 half time is great. 0-0 at full time will be great.

Fingers crossed we keep a clean sheet.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Not enough belief in our play going forward, and not enough intensity in our overall play.

Coleman has had a bloody good half there though.

 

[firefighterblue]

So the linesman puts his flag up.for offi

Until City decide to bring on aquero,sterling and Silva.

Ha is frightening that subs bench

 

[OneTrueLegend]

Looks like our plan is to frustrate them and try and hit them on the break and win corners. So far it's going OK, not fantastic. Coleman keeps getting the ball and running in circles, which is bugging me

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Defo. Davies doesn't look at the races here, would pull him at HT

Sig has been worse tbh.
The midfield is very pedestrian and look unsure to push forward or contain.

0-0 is a good score though.

 

[steele]

Sidibe has been awful, Coleman is often isolated with two City players

 

[jerseytoffee]

City keeping the ball really well and us... poor all around really

 

[blueblueday]

State of these lottery winning mutants booing at half time. They have bought all kinds of trophies in the past few years and now something isn't going their way they start booing. Same stuff with the Champions League anthem. Proper entitled tits who were on the Chelsea bandwagon not long ago.

We'd be the same in their position. It's what happens to humans when they're spoilt mate.

 

[Amw79]

Defended well there, not many chances for City. Need more movement in the 2nd half, and to be braver on the ball to beat that city press in our half.

 

[Billysgingham.]

Bodyless chicken heads?

Ye mate.

 

[streeky]

Davies is a yard short today, go 4 4 2 And have a go.
