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

[CΛL]

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

we’re already without him

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

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

At least there’s a hope of a killer pass, unlike everyone else who just recycle?

 

[mosssideblue]

Negatives - if they don’t score we won’t win

What if they don’t score and we do, do we still not win

 

[oldius]

Half time, still to be won, and lots of strength on the bench. Come on lads.

 

[I'm Blue]

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

Puts needless pressure on us and gives the opposition hope.
And no think some wanted him as number one over Eddie.

 

[01cravend]

Whyd he change so much from the Palace game? Really has been an awful season from him

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Pep is on Prozac if he doesn’t change that for the 2nd half, piss poor.
Grealish & McAtee for Bernardo & Gundog.

 

[Gazza]

No number 10 playing in the 10 position means nothing to the forwards. The only scant service is in from the wings - which is not very often.

 

[madloaf]

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.

I'd rather move O'Reilly into midfield instead of any of our past their prime favourites.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Watching City feels like a chore. It’s been reduced to something that you just have to get out of the way before then being able to enjoy the weekend.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

That was fucking terrible.

I grew up watching up the shite we served up in the 90s and 00s but didn’t expect anything different. What we serve up currently, is the worst standard of football I’ve watched in 10-15 years. It’s fucking horrible and unbelievable that the guy who many (including myself) insist is the best coach ever, is the one who is overseeing it.

Name me a worse right winger in football than Bernie? I’ve never seen a side, continue to play a guy on the wing, who can’t/wont pass forward. Can’t beat a man and doesn’t assist or score goals. It defies logic. It’s fucking mental.

I’m trying to look for some positives in the opening 45 mins and the best I can come up with, is that the defence looks ok. That’s it, that’s all I’ve got.

 

[heslops barnet]

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.

I’ll take the point please

 

[Keeper!]

What is the point of Everton?

Stopping the dippers becoming a one teamed city, that would be unbearable.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Nunes has been one of the better players for City if not the best one today. Had 1 shot and created a scoring chance for KDB with his forward run.

Very underappreciated player no doubt!

 

[paulchapo]

Is this the worst……

Match day thread ever?

No it's fucking tame simply because there is absolutely zero to stir the blood....zilch, nothing, zero.

 

[doobyedoobye]

It's very predictable

 

[mcfcpride]

Other teams are available to support :)

Shut up

 

[youngbob]

Playing fine imo.

Expected this to be stodgy and awkward. Everton aren't really committing bodies.

Maybe Grealish for Bernardo, maybe Kovacic for Gundogan, but think we're playing okay.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

If pep is aiming to draw the always and win the homes..

That puts us on 67pts….I honestly don’t think that will be enough to secure 5th…we’d need a couple of forest, chavs, castle to have a few bad results…

 

[roach3]

God this fucking thread.

We’re just entertaining ourselves mate
There’s fuckall in the pitch
