Match Thread | Everton vs Man City (20/03/21)

[David Silva #21]

Shit first half
Aguero will destroy them in second half

 

[Revolver]

Everton are a great club and tough luck to us if we can’t break them done. But blimey Cheltenham attacked us more. Is Rodriquez there only skilful player?

 

[moomba]

They're going to find it hard to sustain the defensive effort and intensity of the first half.

They'll be hoping to nick one and hold out, we just need to carry on as we have been so far.

 

[Shaggy]

Calamity saying it was clear and obvious foul on Foden and should have been referred to VAR and foul giving.

Distemper saying it was not a foul, he is clearly not the full ticket and in despearte need of some icey treats.

 

[Bill the Blue]

Do you think we practice corners in training..?

We get a billion a season and nothing happens..

Long gone are the days when we used to flick them on at the near post and nod them in at the far post pretty much every week at Maine Road ..

 

[Kippax77]

WC qualifiers.

Same thing in my eyes

 

[FantasyIreland]

And while Phil staying on his feet his honourable,it gets you fuck all.

We all know the Rags,the Dippers,the Chavs,Spurs and nearly every other team in the league would be one up now if that foul was on one of their players.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Early goal second half would be nice,, would open the game up a bit.

 

[kaz7]

Christ raz gets the blame for everything

 

[chesterbells]

Jesus far more effective on the left, Sterling’s drop in form is really worrying. Mahrez and Kun should be on second half, think it will be at least 70 mins before we see any changes though.

If it goes to 120 mins, which wouldn’t surprise me, 70 min subs makes sense

 

[I'm Blue]

Got to around 35 mins and I had forgot Jesus was even playing. Needs to do far more.

He ain’t been great by any means, but he needs support.

 

[cookster]

Well that was shit. Hopefully subs will make the difference.
Can't see Sterling and Jesus playing 90.

 

[Saddleworth2]

We aren’t getting behind them at all because they are defending so deep. It’s not easy. Another example from Phil of his honesty in the box which is brilliant to see. I thought Raz started well but his decision making starting to let him down again.

it needs a bit of magic.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Bernardo needs to do more and get in the game properly, if he really wants to be on a par with players like De Bruyne then he needs to make the difference in games like this.

Jesus and Sterling in particular need to do a lot more.

The team looks a bit tired today which is hardly surprising given the schedule, but one bit of inspiration will be enough to win this tonight.

Agree Bernardo has been flitting about but not influenced the game. KdB will influence pretty much any game.

 

[ojeme]

We need to get back control of this game and we need some incisiveness in the final third.

De Bruyne for Gabby J?

 

[jimharri]

Same thing in my eyes

Okay. Whatever.

 

[PragueBlue]

Good passing and movement but not much created. Started reasonably brightly but lost our wys a little. Same with our front 3. Not easy though against a big team that are packing the box. Shame one of Foden's shots didn't get through. Everton playing a bit like Stoke used to and looking for long throw-ins and corners.

Give it 15 mins 2nd half and if we don't look like scoring, then makes some changes.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Thought we were pretty good, to be fair. They've crowded the box so we'll have to be patient and make sure to not switch off when they break through midfield.

 

[Glenn Ponder]

Can anyone pm me a small narrow river please? Really struggling today.

 

[GornikDaze]

Same thing in my eyes

Probably not for the players
