Fair result in the end but we need to stop these moments of clown defending as we gift too many goals. Jesus mom for me and I think that was a pen on Phil as his shooting foot was tripped, that wnker mcmanmmmanmm said it was ok though as the defender got his foot in front of Phils........ the definition of a trip!!!!!! Anyway that will do to start the new year and hope its a great one for all on here.
Played well overall and could have scored a hatful with better decision making and finishing.
Gifted our usual goal but never seemed to be under too much pressure.
Hopefully the soft ****s in the prematch thread who were calling Pep out have the good grace to admit they know nothing.
Pleased for Mendy. García a class act, Fernandinho his usual brilliant self and Gabby doing what he does.
Good day at the office.
6 points out of 9 from this horrendous fixture list - Friday, Sunday and Wednesday, and very unlucky not to get the win at Wolves.
Good win today and move onto Port Vale where a few should be given the day off before facing the rags. Hopefully De Bruyne, Fern, Rodri and possibly one or two others won't be involved, Sterling also despite only playing a couple of minutes this evening.
Liked the shape, enjoyed the wingbacks and thought Fernandinho, Garcia and Gündy were all very good. Also loved the front three combining for the second goal.
Would prefer to see KdB in the front three rather than the middle four though. But overall pleased this could be a good option for us
A lot more solid set up by Pep -you could almost (nearly) call it a bit defensive but it certainly worked and was very comfortable until Bravo decided to give Everton a helping hand.
Having Ferna garcia and Rodri as a back 3 meant that neither Cancello or Mendy had too much defending to do which was great int hat it freed Mendy to do what he is better at (and Cancello to a lesser extent though he nearly had an assist with the disallowed goal)
Gundogan also looked more comfortable with this set up.
Mahrez looks a better midfielder than winger
GJ - should have had 4 but two well taken goals
It would be interesting to see that formation/set up with a couple of changes of personnel
a good 3 pts and a tricky fixture done.....Everton were bloody average until we gave them a ilft back into the game and even then they were stil awful
Think Calvert-Lewin shouls/could easily have been sent off for that challenge on Ferna at the end
