Everton vs City - Post Match Thread

Really tough test today, Everton weren't poor, far from it. Great defending to keep their chances to a bare minimum. The people calling for Navas to be subbed at half time are fucking idiots.
I thought Pellegrini made a mistake taking Sterling off, we looked more vulnerable on that side. What do I know though, because it was Nasri who sealed it.
Great performance from us today, I hope we keep this up and really put pressure on Chelsea, Mourinho's teams don't like playing catch up.
A quick word on the ref. He gave us nothing, he's a ****.

He really is.

Navas did a fucking great job. He did dither & fuck up a couple of opportunities but he put some balls into dangerous areas & nobody went in. Also they should fucking shout more for the ball when he is dithering rather than slinking around.

Love it.

The quality and effort are both there. I'm excited about Otamendi coming in and Zab coming back but until further notice this back 4 should remain the back 4. All of them are in amazing individual form and are playing well as a unit. Yaya and Fern are as solid as ever. Sterling is getting used to playing with us. He'll do nothing but improve. Picked up his first assist today. The width Navas provides produces little pockets for Silva. Here in the US on NBC they've just said Silva will win PFA player of the year. And then there's Aguero. No explanation necessary for him.

Nasri with a beautiful goal off the bench. Great player to bring off the bench (I think he's actually a better player than Navas or Sterling, but no need to tinker the XI at this point). Bony played well holding up the ball. Delph made his debut.

Top of the table. 0 goals conceded in 3 matches. Club record for most wins in a row. And it looks like the Bundesliga player of the year is coming in.

What's not to like?[/QUOTE he'll only win pfa award if he's transfers this week to one of traditional top 4

Navas was fantastic in the first half but really should have put us 2-0 up early in the second. Sometimes lacks that cutting edge.
 
Unbelievable!

How good was that?

Was nervous just before the half (thought we should have been 2-0 up then!)

But what a performance! Just, wow!
 
As normal I trawl rival teams forums for reaction this from Red Cafe

What city are playing is how you play football, and pellegrini doesnt have to spout shite about philosophy and process, you just set the team up, and with the money city have spent and now we have spent you would expect a similar caliber of players, but we still look man for man to have inferior and average players

The whole team look fantastic, top to bottom. Why quibble about a few individual errors here and there. 8 goals scored, none conceded, and look the class of the league by a mile while still continuing to add depth. Yaya, Kompany, Mangala, Kolarov, Navas, Sagna all look different class to last season.
