Match Thread | Everton vs. Manchester City (04/05/26)

Doku is world class. There, I said it. The guy is a threat every single time he gets the ball. Not many players in the world have such a consistent impact with every action they make.

Gets my vote. How many other wingers do what he does? None.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

I think for the most part weve played pretty well. If this side wasnt so wasteful in the final 3rd, the game would already be over.

Doku has been excellent. A great goal and could/should have had a couple of assists. Keane being able to get with a yellow when he’s clearly tried to do him, is a fucking disgrace.

We need more from Semenyo and Haaland.

Gonzales is such a drop off from Rodri it’s ridiculous. He does everything in slow fucking motion. He needs to wake the fuck up or they are going to pounce on him.

Everton are absolute shite. They’ve got absolutely nothing about them.

 

[PepsFleece]

Odd behaviour

Just checking in brother.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

That tackle ticked every box for a red card

Out of control
Excessive force
Reckless
And endangering an opponent

We are truly being treated so differently by the officiating this season.

 

[M Gaudino]

Moyes’ cloggers

Everton have never moved with the times have they. Still peddling this ‘up and at em’ football when most of the leaguebhas looked to foreing managers and at least an attenpt at a more progressive football style.

Similar in a way to United but at least United are chained to their memories of success. What are Everton trying to achieve? If you speak to their deluded fans they’ll tell you they’re part of the 80s ‘Big Five’ and bigger than Leeds, City, Newcastle, Villa etc

Keane and Tarkowski sum it up - two players with styles from the 90s no finesse at all

 

[HamannCheese]

There's a caveat though, which I'm sure the ref like to pick'n'choose when they use. If the treatment is "lengthy", then the player must leave the pitch even when the offender is carded.

Anything subjective is going to be abused unfortunately.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Bent as fuck this league.

Still fuming over that Keane tackle, all day everyday that's a red card.

Plus, how many times is the **** going to block passing lanes? Genuinely he's doing it on fucking purpose, anytime we go go passing the ball into a dangerous area he's standing in the fucking way.

 

[remember arthur mann]

No doubt we'll see more of the thuggery second half, as Oliver has essentially told them that it's ok.

PL directive.

 

[Why are you Guehi?]

one more goal here and i'm feeling very happy with the result. if it stays like this.. i'm happy but worried. at some point we might have to make up the goal difference, and one less match to do it is never fun

Let's not get crazy about that here, we can go for that against Brentford

 

[Beanhead]

Doku is world class. There, I said it. The guy is a threat every single time he gets the ball. Not many players in the world have such a consistent impact with every action they make.

Totally agree he causes complete chaos 5-10 times every game he plays. Totally unique in world football at the moment.

 

[yeseye]

God they love a boo these Everton lot don't they.

Fuck all else to do I guess.

 

[N1985]

Just seen a still of the tackle on Doku.

In what universe is that not a red card?

The universe where Manchester City boil every cunts piss

 

[lefty goldblatt]

That Everto.n midfielder is fucking brilliant
He's breaking up EVERY City attack by just getting in the way.
Well done , Oliver

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Doku with an end product = best winger on the planet.

He’s been fucking unreal so far

 

[I'm Blue]

Doku is world class. There, I said it. The guy is a threat every single time he gets the ball. Not many players in the world have such a consistent impact with every action they make.

Needs to score more and then he could be.

 

[noseve]

Another game with several players losing their footing.

Does anybody else spend half the game shouting 'man on' at their TV - how many times do we have to lose the ball because we dwell on the thing too long?

They're the two main moans, apart from Oliver's performance so far.

Feels a lot better than 10 minutes ago, though!

 

[platty7]

We’d get cards and red if we gave it back.

You are correct.but sometimes wish we had a ferna or Vinnie there to stop teams taking liberties. Didn't get away with that shit with them two.

 

[yankblue]

if a City player had made that tackle it'd be streamed on the news 24/7 and be brought before the Hague for crimes against humanity

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Haaland needs to get involved second half.

For a big unit of a man hes a proper pussy, doesnt put himself about at all

 

[bg1968]

Red card is also issued for putting an opposing player in danger , that was out of control and could have easily been a serious ankle/ligament injury , but we are refereed differently , no doubt.
