Match Thread | Everton vs Man City (27/12/23)

[Elliot houghton]

Olise from Palace would have been a much better buy

Don’t really play the same position we needed that gundogan replacement someone who can control the midfield and also be a threat in the box

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Are there any positives?

Nunes looks likes he belongs in the team.

Definitely not a horrible buy like a certain DM we have..

But you can see Rico is good in tight spaces but out muscled. Nunes isn't out muscled easily.

Can totally see Pep trusting him more.. he's not giving the ball away stupidly but nowhere as good as a polished player yet.

You’re right, he has been poor. However, we are so short of match winners out there and Bernie is one. I think we have to keep him on but move him in to the middle where he can influence play.

You're right of course. I will chastise myself now for doubting him!

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

David Silva watching this must be thinking’wtfigo?’ The midfield have forgotten what a forward pass looks like!

 

[VOOMER]

We haven't been able to rely on Haaland either. Is Rice better than Nunes, Kovacic, or Phillips? To right he is, he would have had more impacts than them combined.. We have no real idea if KDB is fully repaired, I hope we have plans beyond this season, because if we managed him, Bernado and Kyle correctly, we could get another two-three good seasons out of them. As it stands next season might be the last. As for Nunes, he wants out, back to Portugal, or to Spain, the EPL has been wee bit of a nightmare for him.

Just my opinion, but there is no way we should be losing.

 

[TrentGrisham]

The criticism of Phil is crazy. He and Grealish have been our only bright spots tonight.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

We’re playing like Swansea under Brendan Rodgers/Roberto Martinez. Keep the ball (at times), no cutting edge and then fold at the back easily. They probably had more shots than us though.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Wr accepted mediocrity when we purchased Nunes and Kovacic.

Mediocre sums them both up perfectly!

No KDB, Stones and Haaland doesn’t help

 

[Newman Noggs]

Don't worry, we'll come out all guns blazing like Palace did at ours and like united did last night. Won't we ?

 

[Blu1]

That red shower of shite are 3 points behind us, Pep show them the table ffs!

Fook me it’s worse than I thought. Ffs that’s proof how bad we have been
