Given up the Glenn Miller Story... for this.
Pedestrian, over cautious, crap.

The James Stewart one? Brilliant film.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Not looking to be a negative boo boy here and Im sure we will win this, but I just dont rate Doku and he frustrates the tits off me

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

Bernardo’s sitter would have ended them

I suspect we all knew what was coming when he missed it.

 

[super_city_si]

Thing is this Everton side are absolutely shocking

Truly are. Looking at the lineups we should batter them at home. Shows how deep the rot is right now. We are less than the sum of our parts

Don't want to spoil it but he dies in the end

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Slim to no chance of winning this

If we cant beat a shit Everton team with shit sean dyche football. Then we're in bigger trouble than i thought

Casablanca on BBC 2 - a more enjoyable one

Of all the match day threads in all of the world...

 

[Fordyboy46]

Slightly better, good first five minutes, good 40-43 mins buy that was it basically. 1 shot 1 goal for the opposition, nothing changes

 

[fuskarn]

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

literally best player on the pitch you fucking moron

 

[colorado blue]

Some signs of life but when a Bernie missed that chance you just knew waphat was coming. Nice to see us have a few shots for once and early ball to Haaland has been close. Need more still.

 

[christened at st marks]

Casablanca on BBC 2 - a more enjoyable one

Certainly got more fight in it

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I don’t think we’ve played that bad to be honest.

 

[Phoenix900000]

Thought we play really well that half

Unlucky not be up by more

More of the same in second half

 

[hertsblue]

From treble winners to a team no better then a west ham or fulham

Those 2 are far better up front than we are also, wouldnt fancy us to beat either of them atm

 

[eyalluvitt]

Thing is this Everton side are absolutely shocking

I bet they fancy it now though

Yeah but he does cool step overs and cut backs

 

[warringtonblue]

Least it was a good finish. Even our goal only went it due to a deflection, zero goal threat bar that apart from Silvas pathetic finish. They look more dangerous when trying to attack where we have the same issues of awful wingers posing more threat to us than them, Foden hiding and Haaland not in the game

we've also hit the fucking post

 

[jim tolmies perm]

Bernie needs to have a word with himself over that miss. You only do that when your confidence is sky high. He had time to trap it and walk it in or side foot it in.
Of course we concede straight after.
Pep please just tear into them and say enough is enough ...time to stand up and be counted ...feeling sorry for yourselves ain't cutting it anymore....grrr...

 

[tregyblue61]

Would be nice to see our "wingers" get to the byline and some overlaps instead of coming inside all the time.

Anyway, good start but soon fell into our "static caravan" formation.

A bit more urgency 2nd half City.

 

[Bluesince1979]

Akanji is a million miles off level and in all honesty always has been. He was a superb buy at £14m but without a decent partner he gets exposed big time
