Match Thread | Man City vs. Everton (26/12/24)

[jrb]

Everton’s tactics in this half.

1 attack, 1 goal.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

God we are fucking awful at the back.

 

[Blueknows]

Foden needs to start stepping up. His season has been terrible (injuries and sickness aside).

PFA player of the year has there ever been such a drop off the season after ? Done nothing all season

 

[super_city_si]

Everyone in the league takes inswingers right on top of the goalie. City: let’s do outswingers.

 

[Haaland94]

Yes. Right fullback too

You can't be any worse than our current RB situation, start warming up.

 

[RayCTID]

Lewis isn’t cut out yet for this level

The issue is who do you play in front of him with the injuries?

 

[MCFC1993]

He's not our worst player on the pitch but I'm struggling to watch Kovacic in midfield any longer, too limited.

 

[Mayor West]

I got pelters for saying this last year!

Lol!

And you'd still get pelters for it too. You saying ipswich, Southampton, Leicester couldn't use a player like lewis?

 

[stan bowles]

Dreadful end to the half. They have finally realised we're a team in decline.

 

[Chippy_boy]

God we are fucking awful

 

[hertsblue]

We are so shit even Everton fancies 3 points. Pickford not even time wasting but releasing the ball early to start an attack.

 

[VOOMER]

That's not on Rico - we had 3 players around that can stop the cross and they didn't fuck all, Kovacic especially. Stop that and the ball doesn't come across. Just standing off them doesn't help

Iits a team game.

 

[CΛL]

Someone who runs, it's the bare requirement. I posted it in the pre match thread ALL we need is a cdm who is focused on ball recoveries and positioning when the ball is turned over and we will win. Play the young lad nico and tell him retrieve the ball. Kovacic just fucking wanders and then meanders back

Yeah let’s see how well sticking a teenager in will go

 

[Beanhead]

Bore off. He’s a teenage kid being thrown to the wolves.

It’s the older senior players we should be booting out.

He’s not good enough. Said it months and months ago. Our Tom Cleverly.

 

[malg]

We are shit out of possession. Absolutely fucking bobbins

 

[christened at st marks]

we dont have one midfield player fit enough or good enough apart from players he wont pick

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Problem with doku and savinho they're both only good when they are full of confidence. Otherwise totally (I think) useless

 

[Bluearmy]

I wonder when Bobb is coming back

Not quick enough

 

[BlueMonkey79]

15 minutes good. 30 minutes total shite

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Wank
