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

[s1ty m]

He doesn't have anything never mind the control, His end product is abysmal. He'd make Adama Traore look like prime Nedved.

He is a total waste of time.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

It's weird how vulnerable we look at the back. Southampton are rock bottom and yet even they look like they could have more structure than us.

 

[malg]

The reality is we are by far the better team, should have easily been 2/3-0 up. And then once again, as is our luck at the moment, an opponent who would normally slap a shot into row Z arrows it into the top corner like prime Zidane.

Everton have done nothing, they deserve nothing. If they hadn’t scored we’d all be sat here thinking it’s normal business resumed. The score line isn’t even close to telling the story and if we go out and do that again we will win 4-1.

In the meantime there’s the usual hysterical shite posted in here.

I wouldn't say we are by far the better team.

 

[citymad]

I reckon with two new full-backs and a quality midfielder with energy, we'd be a different team.

Unless they had the exact same names of the players they replaced.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

We will huff and puff second half with shit long balls that go straight to Pickford.

Continue with wank corners

Then make subs on 75 minutes, have a bit of a go then make a calamity for Everton to nick it.

Gundogan on to create??

Think the poster means KDB, surely?

 

[TinFoilHat]

The old one shot, one goal scenario for Everton then:/

They had 2 goes before. And it was a good finish from the Scouser to be fair.

Doesn't make up for the brain farts mind.

 

[Ajm1985]

Were much more solid with Kovacic playing.

That's fine but that's comparing him with Gundogan & Bernardo at 6. Kovacic hasn't been good for us today or recently - has the same issues with recovery pace, is out of position, drives forward into dead ends and was standing off for their goal

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Feels like every time we start to look better, we concede a fucking stupid goal. It's a mentality issue from these players and I don't know what Pep can do about it.

 

[CΛL]

Better than this, we control games and then have 0 positional awareness or desire to get it back and let teams stroll through us easily. Put Simpson Pusey CB and akanji cdm. Just someone who will actually try defensively

You think a teenager will have better positional awareness than a 30 odd year old big name professional?

Isn’t positional awareness what we’re all having a go at a 20 year old Rico for?

You just want change for the sake of it. We’ve lost every game Pusey has played.

 

[spiny]

Unrecognisable from previous seasons. Slow and static.

 

[Blu1]

If Kev is fit...

Take Erling off and put Bernie in false 9.

100% Haaland still not pressing enough for me, a luxury player we don’t need right now

 

[PragueBlue]

Gundogan on to create??

Sometimes it is about accidentally finding out what works. Not saying Gundogan is the answer mind you!

 

[SWPISHOME]

Criminal that there's nothing doing down our left hand side when a pensioner is playing right back for them

It's so strange isn't it, You'd think Gvardiol and Doku on the left is our main weapons especially up against Seamus Coleman, Instead we continue to use Savinho who wouldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.

 

[mattcity5]

Public apology from Lewis for that defending

Nonsense.

Akanji wasn't marking Calvert-Lewin, so Lewis had to come in a little to cover. Then Akanji fluffed clearing the cross.

Any blame on Lewis should be directed towards Akanji on this occasion.

 

[Legal Alien]

Why are both wingers not taking the defenders on and putting a cross into the box is what I want to know

Agreed, but Pep should swap Doku and Savinho and let them put crosses in with their natural foot. It seems logical to me.

We need to tighten up at the back and need to mark, the lad who score their goal was wide open in the box, it happens every week!

 

[Lemon7277]

Gundogan on to create??

Think he forgot to add fuck all on the end

 

[cupsforcockups]

Get kdb on and let him thread the ball through to earling

 

[Blu1]

Gundogan on to create??

Better than what we have but agree not great

 

[jamielowndes]

The absolute worse football I ever witnessed in the dark days and this gets him a gig ,unreal.

Should have a restraining order from this stadium
