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

[gonetomorrow]

City fans are a right bunch of spoilt sods. I hope we're not going to get like that after we've won the prem a couple of times.

Gave it to Ben Godfrey ,to face Haarland and allow him only one shot on target I had to .Happy New Year all you miserable sods .

If by some miracle it’s 1-1 in the 93rd minute, might be a good idea not to pressurise the players to get it forward..

This aged surprisingly well

if everton ever win multiple premier league titles, play the best football, have the best manager, have the best players, sign the best youth prospects and win numerous cup trophies and reach champions league finals in my lifetime and i then end up moaning because we fail to beat someone like brentford at home due to maybe them playing an unattractive style of football and defending for their lives for most of the match after having beaten them 10 times in a row previously, then please shoot me in the head.

The trick is to win the league then wait another 40 years to win it again, it keeps you keen

25/1 we are today to win a football match, 9/1 for a draw. For a team like Everton in the Premier League regardless if we are home or away is testament to how poor we are as a football club at the moment.

No. It's how poor we are as a football team at the moment.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Arguably a bigger ask than today. Coming out and breaking down teams at home.

Brighton will take the game to us.

 

[Ralphie Boy]

Absolutely shocked we are fist on MOTD, but even more shocked that they did not show the KDB assault or Haalands ’tackle’.

Yet more evidence that the obvious bias we have all commented on are there.

Happy new year everyone.

Good performance. People saying we were lucky are right. But we were unlucky to lose to Wolves the other day. You need a bit of luck in football.

People complaining about only having 26% possession and 2 shots in the game. You may be forgetting that we were playing the most devastating attacking team in world football and kept them down to 3 shots on target. A team that could bring on Gundogan, Foden and one of the break out players of the WC in Julian Alvarez.

Every player looked totally committed so I'm confident we can drag ourselves out of the mire.

A scorer and a creator would obviously help. Actually, either would improve us.

Narrative to suit.
Imagine if it was the galoot from across the park Haaland was trying to nail.

Is Asahi a decent beer?

Only ever tried it once and thought it was watery. I like brown ales with frothy heads and IPAs.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Certainly more than Hibbert at least.

I've scored as many as Hibbert.

 

[Cardis]

What has the quality of opposition have to do regarding Gray goal. Total individual effort.

...because it's generally more difficult to score against better players.

I'm watching MOTD now, and the tackle was clearly shown in play and as a replay.
