Some people need to have a good think about what they are posting, we had 72% possession, 8 shots on target and missed 2 penalties. A decent performance and we should have won the game comfortably. Play like and we will win most games, it is so important to score first and the game changes.
Everton got lucky and they know it.
I am not sure any of the CBs would have done better in that situation given it was a one-on-one and Clichy—the quickest among them—was beaten for pace. You cannot go to ground in that situation, as any of those you mention would be predisposed to do, as it is basically taking a 75% chance of being beaten or sent off for a bad last man challenge.the defender who dived in on/near the half way line was also at fault...stand up and that doesn't happen....but clichy could have done better and possibly bravo to....but Lukaku one on one takes some stopping.
We have to get use to this as a lot of teams will play like that. its a danger of possession football and pushing lots of players further forward....teams are going to hit us on the break.....Kompany Ottomendi or even stones as that last defender and they probably do better against Lukakku but one of the fullbacks will struggle against his power.
What?a 4th bad game
We absolutely dominated what are you on aboutBut we didn't. Our final ball was abysmal.
3 games on the spin we've been poor, now. Worrying.
WTF?No sugarcoating that.2 points dropped. Terribly wasteful from the spot. Reality setting in. Same problems as last year and so far no answers. Gundogan really disappointing so far. Thought he took the soft option far to often. Ie pass it backwards or sideways. Needs to be braver on the ball.
Looks like prepared remarks by someone who did not watch the game and mouthing off just on result of 1-1Post game comments from Hislop:
"there may be a blueprint that if you come at City they are not as good as we thought they were and teams wont be as scared as they were at the start of the season"
Sorry but in what way did they come at us? They parked the bus and countered very rarely.
We deserved the win, they couldn't get out of their own half for the majority of the game and it's not often we will miss two penalties in the same game and the way they wasted time as soon as we equalized(20mins of it was frustrating) says it all.
What I don't get is how shite we have been on corners for about 15 seasons.
dickhead.Suddenly Pep founds its very hard.
Kuman completely overplayed Pep. Sometimes it reminded me Barca vs Di Matteo Chelsea semifinal, when Messi also missed penalty.
And typical Barca/Pep opponent - one moment, one shot, one goal. While opponents keeper doing best game in his life.
I saw it like gazillions times.
Pity un-winning strike is probably continue to 4 games at least.
They should seriously do something with penalty and set pieces. When 8 players staying under ball line you can't score just popping ball through the legs, not even Messe with Xavi and Iniesta could pull this trick. There is only one tactic - winning yellow/red cards, set pieces and headballs. And the latter saved a point here.
Overall I hugely dissapointed because, like I said, Pep was clearly overplayed, second time, in a row. His plan with wingers and constant crosses didn't work, opponents bloked 9 out of 10 attemps.
