Match Thread | Man City vs. Everton (10/02/24)

[journolud]

Not surprised with the brain dead idea to put all the creativity on the bench against a team that we knew would park the bus

Is there a team that doesn’t park the bus?

 

[oakiecokie]

Big earl ain’t getting any service so don’t understand your comment

Because he`s too static today Haaland. Can tell he`s nowhere match fit yet.

 

[Stato]

Need to get Foden into the middle by having stones play wider or move stones in to centre back and play someone else as the full back.

We seem to be missing the link between defensive players and attacking, should be Nunes but he is well off it

 

[citymad]

Alvarez has a touch like a nonce and next to no acceleration, has no place in midfield.

Give it a rest. this is your first time you’ve seen him.

 

[sh249]

That's fine I guess, but we don't see these ball carriers like Nunes going anywhere past his man.

Agree. Whatever the thinking, we certainly don’t look the better for it.

 

[pudge]

A quick goal after the restart changes the game. Everton got nothing to offer

Yet they've had more shots on target than us

 

[Iassel]

It's almost as if we've played shit so far.

In fairness it could be 6-0 and the same minges would be complaining .

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Lofl! The state of it.

I have a vision of a demented circus clown in my head.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Bernardo on for Nunes at 55 mins please Pep

 

[SWPISHOME]

Imagine having a season ticket at Everton. The new Bolton Wanderers!

No point giving Everton a hard time of it, Styles make fights as they say.

It's up to us to break them down.

You hardly think they'd be stupid enough to open up against the best team in world football.

 

[RayCTID]

Hate 12.30 KOs.

Agreed but at times we don't help ourselves in wasting opportunties.

 

[Stoned Rose]

She knows more about everything than you

 

[Eccles Blue]

That cheating little fatherless personage Calvin Lewis needs a good sorting out. If our player hadn’t been nimble he would have gone straight into the VAR machine!!

The gate/wall/fence might not protect CL next time! :-( ;-(

 

[Saddleworth2]

Horrible half. What puzzles me is why when Phil comes off a hattrick and motm a few days ago playing in the middle, today without KDB, he is stuck on the wing?

 

[super_city_si]

Doku cutting back balls into the box for Everton defenders to clear every time

Hes like the cat that catches the mouse and doesnt know what to do with it. Beats his full back for fun. Drives in to space then hits it to a defender…every time.

if or when that final piece drops he will be incredible.

 

[deano ou812]

Just get the win anyhow even if it’s an OG and move onto the next game .
Cmon City ..

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Everton may well be the worst team we have played this season, and the fact that we are struggling to create any kind of chance speaks volumes. Yet another bunch of visitors who have come to try and scrape a point and if they get it, celebrate as if they had won the title.

I don't think our boys are doing too bad, but I can't be having a few of these on the pitch with Kev and Bernie on the bench.

And with no Kev on, WTF is the Stockport Iniesta doing playing on the right? Get him where he can do most damage, middle of the park.

2-0 City, Haaland brace.

Everton are not the worst team , they are just very well organised and have shown some ambition when they can get hold of the ball , agree about Foden he is playing out of his skin so we move him wide to accomodate Nunes , doesnt make sense.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Turgid 1st half from us. Alvarez looks like he could do with a rest.

 

[houraisen]

Why is Akanji playing in the middle instead of the Stones?

 

[Mancity1980]

First time with no shots on target at home in the first half since August 2022. Let’s hope for an improvement in the second half!
