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

[Keeper!]

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

stop it, he's done like half of this side

 

[Axel Freed]

Well then play someone that fucking Isn't. That's another awful half of football.

The ones who aren’t old are shite

 

[journolud]

Is this the worst……

Match day thread ever?

 

[YatesA]

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

Those games he looked anonymous. This game he's looked anonymous for large part but when he's got a touch it's been amateur level stuff.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

What is the point of Everton?

 

[Chak19]

I’ll miss Kevs corners when he leaves…..

They haven't been that bad, Gonzalez took the ball away from O'Reilly at the end of the half, could've scored there.

 

[Crooked_rain]

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!

That's why I'd play Kova, he's one of our few players that drives forward, plus he's a decent goal threat this season. He's a good player when he's not expected to be Rodri.

Get Bernado off for McAtee or Phil

Get Gundo off for Kova

We'll win it.

I get that some players will need time but i struggle to see where the improvement is coning from savinho. I dont see how he wil suddenly make this giant leap to be a top drawer player.
Marmoosh and gonzales dont exactly fill me with hope either.

Marmoush looks decent, but I’ve not been convinced with any of our signings since the treble season really. There’s been a real drop in quality

 

[johnny crossan]

No big misses or mistakes yet, not really playing that well tbh. Ball control and passing could be a lot better,

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Ortega's passing has really fallen off a cliff, hasn't it? O'Reilly being badly exposed at times, would think about getting him off for Akanji. KDB and Marmoush, nowhere near it.

 

[Invisible Man Fan]

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

Just hoofing it aimlessly and giving possession away

 

[samuelyeboah]

once more we are being out-tacticed

 

[Keeper!]

Can someone tell Marmoush were playing at home and kid him into actually playing?

 

[Damien10]

Just fucking go with Nico and two other centre midfielders who will just work hard and who can actually move.

It would help.

 

[cookster]

Not only an average side, boring as fuck to watch as well.
Savinho, Marmoush, Gundo contributed fuck all.

 

[heslops barnet]

To Everton?

Seems to be our standard at the moment

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

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

Twice out of touch, once to the opposition, once nearly to the opposition.

He's got a few correct though not as incisive as Eddie.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

We need to get Grealish on to slow this game down, far too fast and hectic for my liking this ;)

 

[Goater=Legend]

Another risk assessment test passed from the players, just like the derby.

 

[mcfcpride]

Entirely Pep's fault.
