Match Thread | Man City vs Everton (23/05/21)

[Worst Case Ontario]

Maybe it’s bc it’s basically end of the season. He know he isn’t going to start the champions league so he doesn’t seem to care...

So that somehow makes it ok?

I don’t see it as extra incentive for Chelsea if they miss out today I see it as more added pressure.

If anything I think if they win today it would give them more confidence. A loss could actually help us out especially if we win since our confidence will be sky high

Very watchable game of football. Some sloppiness and half heartedness which you can excuse with the final in mind and some good crisp passing going forward. No complaints with the penalty. Dias looked sluggish and it was a desperate lunge, great save from the guy who doesn't make saves. Two players on that pitch are looking to maybe give Pep something to think about regarding next week, jesus and sterling, Jesus has been brilliant behind only mahrez for best player on the pitch, sterling? He's on the pitch. That's about all that can be said.

Kun on at halftime, hopefully for sterling and jesus shifted out wide kdb to get 70-80 minutes, Fernandinho to get a 30 minute rest passing the armband on to Kun.

Really enjoyed that first half.
KDB off now please along with Foden.

lol - agreed - and Mahrez!

 

[Keeper!]

One you've won your own league it is.

nonsense, the ultimate prize for top players is the Champions League, especially for the non UK lads.

Just watch Zincs reaction at the end of the PSG game, that's how much it meant to that kid.

 

[jollylescott]

I read on Twitter that Kun is coming on in the 59th minute, which was when he came on in his very first game.

 

[kanovic]

I think we gonna play this team in final besides Sterling

So that somehow makes it ok?

I didn’t say it was okay. I was just giving an answer. He hasn’t looked interested in a while. However he might also be ready to end the season and recharge his batteries idk

 

[Eccles Blue]

We need to sto giving bloody penalties away
Happening a lot

That was no more a penalty than I am Sergio Aguero! I’m on row D dead in line with the action and all the fans here called the cheat out for being just that, a cheat!

He's coming on now.

And scoring a brilliant brace?

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

Nice bit of break dancing by Richarlison on the pen

 

[Tricky_Trev]

If today was to test KDB’s fitness, give him the pass and take him off now.

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Don’t want Everton’s tail up they will become more aggressive

They seem to have already become more aggressive and claiming a penalty for anything....

Happy Birthday EB - hope you’re enjoying your day out :)

 

[Sir peace frog]

Very enjoyful first half! Great football from us and has a superb rhythm.

Now put Silva for Sterling in the 60 minute for him to play some too and put Foden in Sterling's place. Sterling is not as abysmal as he was in previous games but we should NOT have him in the starting lineup for CL final he seems to lack any essence in all his tries.

Is enjoyful a real word:)

As bad as he has been, Sterling needs to stay on. Get someone off who has a chance of playing next week.

 

[SWPISHOME]

lol - agreed - and Mahrez!

Haha and Dias and Stones and Walker ;)

 

[FantasyIreland]

Probably Dias' worst 45 mins,give that fucking award back!!

Zinc looking very composed,nailed his spot for me.

Dinho just bossing it,and hopefully also securing his CL start

Jesus looking like he wants a place in the 11 too,took his goal brilliantly and playing with energy,fight and desire....which is great to see.

Stones and Walker playing very well,look in full control.

Foden purring as normal,Mahrez looking like a worldie in parts and Kev clearly getting back to his best.

Sterling making good runs,but it just isn't happening.He looks like the odd man out in this team.

Now,get the subs on please! Aguero in the 46th and scores in added time :-)

It's a cup final ,we have to beat them, it's that simple.

 

[PhdWave]

Chelsea losing today is actually good for us since they will be mentally at least a bit down...Good chance they can also lose their head in the final if they are trailing
