Match Thread | Man City vs Everton (31/12/22)

Can you really complain about those yellows though? Other matches, sure, but not this one.

It’s the consistency that annoys us all, some teams get away with similar, we know who they are and we have seen, like the Leeds game where both teams are officiated completely different in the same game

I think the problem is that they're allowed to wind up City players with cheap fouls and get away with it.

Think pep will sort them out . Don’t get seen if your gonna do it .

 

[Don Karleone]

Into the twats Erling

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Both teams playing like they’ve dipped into their New Year’s Eve class A stash already.

 

[madloaf]

Refs playing quite well for everton

Mahrez has acres to go past his fullback. He needs to be braver.

 

[Blueknows]

Ref started this by not booking Everton players earlier.

Similar to the Leeds game let them kick fuck out of us first tackle from us is a card

 

[CityDean]

Just need to get this second and this match is done. Can take Kevin and Erling off then and protect them from a possible suspension. We are in control, I'm happy with that first half. Come on the boys - we need this 3pts badly.

Pep will calm him.

He'll give him a bit of an earful, I think.
Won't be happy about those three yellow cards, for sure.

 

[M Gaudino]

Ref lost control of this from the start. Players celebrating a foul show how bad he has been. This isn't ending 11v11

the weak refs start to pander to the players then they all get on his back and he leaves himself with no options later on. the best refs shut the players up and make them concentrate on the play

 

[kanovic]

I would just pass them to death and make them come out. They don’t even want to play so just around. Really piss them off

 

[SebastianBlue]

Haaland needs to calm down or he is walking, he is falling into Everton players trap of winding him up

It’s not just winding him up, though. They’ve left their boot in from minute one and the ref is ignoring it. They’re going to injure him and the ref is going to make it out like Haaland was asking for it.

 

[super_city_si]

worst ref this season

Had an inkling he wasnt up to scratch when he fucked up the minutes silence

 

[Blu1]

Kev, halland & Bernie seem to be to interested in fighting today. Bit strange from city.

Pep has a big decision now as one of them are going to see red in this

 

[citytill1die84]

It's all out war ffs ref has let this happen.

 

[wolviedinho]

Refs told to keep this game close. Need to score another goal and take away any chance they could influence the outcome.

Don’t want us too close to Arsenal, not good for the product.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Pretty average first half. Few fresh legs now

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

What a ****.

 

[vmsuhail]

No I liked that. To give the message to the ref to f@@k off and clear the mess he created.

He already did one challenge back, which the ref ignored. Scored a goal and celebrated a free-kick. That's enough, no need to go over-aggressive and make an easy game a tricky one by going a player down.
