City v Everton Post Match Thread

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

You can tell we won. Just look at number of pages when we lose.
Anyway I thought, overall decent performance. Some great attacking football early 2nd half,
which would be even better when we get clinical in our finishing.

Just got in, I enjoyed that they gave us a game

A good bounce back from the Munich game.

We looked better at the back when Nasti came on as Lescott was having a mare against Lukaku.

Great passing and play going forward but a bit slow in the middle Yaya and Fern don't have the combined ground coverage to control a game for 90 mins.

Kun could have had three and Negredo must start over Dzeko every time.

Ref and linesman at the SS end were poor.

Let's get the away form sorted over these next 4 games and we can look forward to a good season.

Good performance and a much needed morale boosting victory.
Negatives - Fernandinho, another shocking performance. At the moment he looks off the pace and making to many errors.

Fernandinho was excellent, sweeping up in front of the back four.

Fantastic way to bounce back from that defeat against Bayern.

Anyone got any stats handy how often we actually BEAT Everton?

Silva was very good today, but I'd say having him on the left is a waste. We essentially leave our entire left flank under the protection of solely Kolarov.

Luckily Aguero covered for Silva's roaming well but it left him in a poor position as we attacked.

A good result today but I honestly can't see it as more than papering over the cracks in 4-4-2. The second goal was fortunate as the ref missed the altercation that distracted the everton defence that allowed us to score and the third was a needlessly conceded penalty.

I thought he was solid.

Not sure how you can say he was shocking.

Kompany looked like he was carrying an injury into the game.

Very unsure of himself in the first 15 minutes when Everton had their best spell.

We deserved the win and it could have been 4 or 5 -1.

BlueMatt is fucking clueless. Best ignored really.

Me too. 3 great points.
The defence was very weak today, including Vinny.
Zaba diving (!???) I never thought I would ever live to see that.
Great games by Silva, Negredo, Milner, Kolarov and the last 10 min of Nasri.
Decent performances by Aguero and Yaya.
Is Nasty's elbow made of iron?

Please, lets call it fairly. Aguero was poor. Shades of Dzeko all game.

Well if he scores two goals everytime he is poor let him be atrocious every game.

Agreed not many strikers would have scored our second goal, he is a class act and scored 2 goals in the last 2 home league games, if that's bad roll on when he plays well.
