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

[Rita_Poon]

Strange half that, we seemed full of anxiety until they scored, since they did we seem to have relaxed into the game and tried to actually play and pass a bit.

These can't cope with the pressure. It's like as an eleven they all hold their breath and pray to pass out to make the pain stop. Weird!

 

[GoldenToffee]

1-0 defeat here is basically impressive as winning a cup double tbh.

 

[heatmeiser]

Yeah because the other defenders can cope with him

We'd be 8 nil down and Keane would be weeping on the touchline by now

 

[maccavennie]

It should have at least been a 2nd yellow after leaving one on Godfrey.

We're getting stuck in, trying to keep our shape and stay disciplined. Gray and Iwobi need to be doing far more, that ball by Gray when we were on the counter just sums him up, no care or attention at all to it.



Only takes one set piece to get back into it.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Too many beaten before a ball was kicked, too many going through the motions. They know Lampard is sooner rather than later for the off and they are phoning it in until then.

Utter shower of cowards.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Didn't Haaland get booked for that tackle?

Yeah he did

 

[Gooner66789]

I'd still take Prime Henry over Haaland.

Henry could do everything, not saying Haaland can't but Henry gave me dirty goosebumps lol.

 

[charlie atkins]

Haarland may be substituted before he gets sent off, keep on him lads

 

[Mark barnett]

City were strolling around most of that half, just conserving energy because they know we ain't got any real threat going forward

 

[Bebeto]

How many shots on target have we had in this game?

Against city you're not going to have many if any at all...but you'll get a chance in the game. We have to keep it at 1 null down as I am sure we'll have a chance to score a goal.

 

[Lob]

State of us being happy to be only 1 goal down. Proper relegation fodder. We were absolutely crud again no matter who we were playing and didn't even have a single shot, never mind anything on target which is utterly disgraceful.

 

[HarpersLob86]

They look a little but more bothered but still a shambles

Hardly

 

[Northeastblue]

On the City goal. If you look at the position of the clown in goal ... Opens the whole goal for Haaland to slot it in. The guy is really Man United material.

Don't be so farkin stupid.

 

[4737carlin]

We'd be 8 nil down and Keane would be weeping on the touchline by now

You mean like last week when Wolves put two past us, WOLVES

 

[Efctrueblue]

Anyone got a still of the haaland challenge?

Looked worse than it was cos of the running speed. De bruyne challenge on Onana was way worse and studs up. Other way round guarantee a red
