Everton (H) - Post-Match Thread

[The perfect fumble]

 

[David Kloppesh]

A beautiful game of football lads, just brilliant.

So happy for the kids.

Remember when know nowts used to slag Rodri? Imperious again.

Not having that, he is superb now but has taken time to settle.

His lack of pace is no longer noticed but it used to stand out.

Always nice to see a player come good.

man city cloning since 2008;)

Well done to the City hierarchy for having the foresight to identify Fernandinho's replacement.
Also I like the freedom Gundogan plays with when KDB doesn't play.
Having played virtually every game, Grealish must realise you have to fight hard to win back your place in this team.

Can’t wait to see Mcatee and Foden on field together, maybe even Palmer too. Their intensity would be like having 3 Bernie’s swarming around.

I predict Benitez will be sacked at the end of the season. Everton were the worst Premier League side I have seen at the Etihad this season. Zero ambition and that's completely down to the coach. Always the same.

They had lots of injuries. I'd have been silly to come here and play an open game.

Sterling great on the right.

Rodders supreme.

Gundo and Palmer not in game for first 30 mins then both did great.

Bernie and Stones fantastic, as usual.

I’d say my only disappointment was Laporte, thought he was really poor in the second half.

Laporte sometimes looks a bit unnatural in that left CB position, when he shouldn’t. I thought he had a few shaky moments again today.

I thought we played well overall. Bit slow first 30 mins and a tad sloppy in the last 15 until we scored, although much better than Everton who were awful.

Great goal from Rodri and the Cancelo pass to Sterling for the first was sublime.

Palmer got better as the game went on but needs to work on his decision making which was poor at times.

Easy win overall.

Everton fans v quiet again today. Always have the numbers but quiet as mice . Maybe loss after loss every season just sucks the optimism out of them before the game has even started. Burnley fans the same earlier in the season. What was going on in SS3 after the Rodri goal? Noticed Stewards and police rushing to form a line up there.

I thought Gundo was excellent today, particularly second half. Almost everything went through him, and I suspect his pass completion was 100%. They were all superb though - a very satisfying 90 minutes.

Ref was an utter cockwomble mind.

 

[applecentral]

YES, I AM. PERIOD.

Bloody hell!

 

[eastmanc]

So not seen a replay yet, was it a pen?

No it wasn’t a pen, said at the match to my lads that I didn’t think it was a penalty . The replay only confirmed it.

If Alan Partridge had been commentating, that second would definitely have been, "TW#T!!!!!"

Magnificent performance in third gear.

Didn’t he play the same tactics when he was Newcastle manager? Playing for a 0-1 loss at home v us?
Injuries or no injuries they were shit today. Even their fans couldn’t be arsed as they knew the outcome.
We were excellent today but a championship team would have at least run and pressed us. Their fans will turn on him I’d they are 16th come Feb.

Ha ha ha , "THAT WAS A GOAL"

 

[eastmanc]

Its was cold

It was proper chilly but not as chilly as when we drew 0-0 with Everton a few years back under Pellers. My word it was nippy that night.

Sterling always played best on the right with Sane on the left. He's done well on the left to, but that right position was his best spell as a midfielder IMHO.

 

[kevin horlocks wand]

Played very well .
the best on the tv was the exasperation from the commentator at yet more clones come through from the youth set up.

Think you mean Mancini, we lost 2-0 and should have had about four penalties. The temp was -8.

I know it’s fucking great.

He’s got a foot like a steam hammer!
