Match Thread | Everton vs. Man City (19/04/25)

Not losing?

Well we seem to be playing for a 0-0 so I guess we should be happy

 

[bluemoon32]

Dreadful stuff

 

[Damien10]

They look more like a team who’s going to
create chances. More like a team willing to take gambles, more willing to take a man on.

We are piss poor. Say what you want but Gundo is awful and brings nothing. Literally may aswel be jogging on the spot. All the other lads would do a better job than him given the chance and minutes he gets. Mcatee,Kova,Nunez,Grealish. Every single one of them would offer much more.

 

[Ric]

Said in the pre-match thread that I could see it being a really dull 0-0 draw, and haven't seen anything there to change my mind.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Literally fell asleep on the sofa, some obnoxiously giddy yank advert on my stream woke me up.

 

[Cobra]

We created loads of chances against Palace and could easily have scored 7 or 8 and Pep’s first thought was how he could get Bernardo back in the team

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

Walking football …. without Kev next season we are fcuked.

 

[madloaf]

That may be the worst I've ever seen gundogan play.

Nah. Just watch the first 18 games he played this season. This was a B+ for him.

 

[.db.]

We’ve played well up until the last third. Front five have done fucking nowt but lose the ball, and haven’t created a single thing between them.

Only decent efforts were Nunes’ shot and De Bruyne’s near the end of the half that came from a Everton leg.

 

[Chak19]

A snoozefest like the derby, totally expected.

 

[tonea2003]

meh!

 

[Keeper!]

Ederson makes such a difference passing out from the back, how many times has Ortega just twated it to nowhere?

 

[mcfcpride]

This is beyond lame at this point. No sign of football from us. Just useless passes

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Should have started Mcatee, who was in form and offers us a goal threat. Something most of our attacking players don’t have

 

[Gazza]

The Everton back five look like they've been recruited from the local loony bin.

 

[madloaf]

Whenever there’s two options to pass - safe or forward - they always choose the safe one. It makes such a (negative) difference to the tempo of how we play.

Rodri is the master of it, he goes forward whenever he can. Nobody else really does that aside from Kovacic.

Even Gundo’s snapped out of it. And Kev!

Can't blame Kev today, he's not playing.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Kev is too mobile.

 

[ProofMCFC]

Only way I can describe this squad in a word is…pointless. Slow backwards/sideways passing, even our goal kicks go backwards, literally. It’s like the 90mins is a burden. Can’t believe we’ve evolved like this under Pep.

 

[phargrave]

Does Pep actually want to win this game…??

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

I missed the entire first half, back now to watch the second.

Sounds like I missed the square route of fuck all.
