This is great....

Listened to it on GMR. Honest question did Gundog slow the game down in the middle when he came on? For me he's just a tad too slow as a creative player for us.

no the whole team slowed the game down from the first minute in the second half, ilke onlyplayed for 15 mins

"If you cannot mark them, foul them!" BFS.

If he had not been a greedy bastard. This knob would have been taking us to the world cup giving the England team the same advice

Well that first half was the about best one-half of football I have ever seen. City destroyed Everton and but for some good last dutch defenfing, could have been 6 or 7 goals up. Second half City just played posession football to run the clock down and not exert too much energy or risk injury for Wednesday.

Job done. Next.

Brilliant performance, DS is wonderful.

If only I could kick the habit of panicking each time the opposition attacks.

not sure what the point is here but they scored and barely touched the ball again , next 5 mins we had 89% possession , we have big games coming up closing the game off is normal .

Second half was slightly disappointing as we played possession football rather than putting them to the sword.

Bigger fish to fry, the second half was utterly correct, rest rest rest.

Agree second half was played with saving energy for Liverpool in mind

Indeed.

The players obviously decided to declare at half time but it's not what Pep wanted.
