Everton (A) Post Match Thread

[stan bowles]

Think Everton pushed us more than any other team in the last 17 games.....they worked really hard but we constantly played around them. We gave away the ball probably more times in that game than we have in the last numerous matches and yet we still controlled the game very well.

The link up play by Jesus tonight was as good as Ive seen by any forward ever - I just wish he could finish better bu his work rate, link up play and movement dropping in between the lines is amazing (and he was constantly getting fouled)hh

Bernardo took a bit of time to get going but once again he was very good.
Cancello played well (think he is slightly more effective on the right)
Walker was very solid defensively as was Dias....Laporte was good but there were a couple of sloppy passes here and there.

Foden's work rate is phenominal and he is constantly battling successfully against far bigger and stronger players but his technical ability wins out more times than not.....

Mahrez was typical Mahrez.....did little for large parts and was frustrating and then scores a blinder.

Great 3 pts at a very difficult place but now we put that behind us and go onto the next....

Great to see KDB back

Mahrez was directly involved in all 3 City goals. Apart from that, yes, he did very little.

Still no aguero, not even a few minutes with the game won and a substitution to spare.

Not complaining, just wondering.

He has basically been out for the entire season, And now at 32 Pep has to use him right. I would of loved to see him get minutes last night but can understand why he wasn't used yet, Maybe another week or two of full training before he starts getting game time.

I thought Mahrez was good, involved in all our goals, with his brilliant long range curler the best of the lot. He stayed involved and his first touch and control is one of the best in our team which immediately gives him an extra split second to take it past someone. Occasionally he’s greedy but I see nothing that warrants so much ire on here from some.

Come to mention it, I noticed that as well.
It would have been quite irritating having to talk about how good your opponent is over and over again... Ancelloti took in good grace, many others wouldn't.

He did. I was waiting for him to say, are you actually going to ask me anything about Everton? Lol

Some results during the winning run:

Arsenal 1:4
Chelsea 1:3
United 0:2
Liverpool 1:4
Spurs 3:0
Everton 1:3

GD: 19:4 City.

Amaizing.

Note that we have been averaging over 3 goals per game against the elite of English top-flight football. Our attack has been excellent too.

Peps not going to be happy conceding a goal to 4 of these 6 teams - work to do there.......the sooner he gets a specialist defensive coach in the better. whats George Graham upto these days ?

Another good win. At 1-1 I thought this was one of those games we probably need a stunner to win it, and there goes Mahrez. Fantastic goal.

Great result from the team, credit all around.

Let’s hope we can keep everyone fit, who goes on the bench from our creative players after that performance? Our best performer this season Mr Whippy could be back on the weekend, then our all time top scorer getting splinters in his arse next to the best midfielder on the planet.

He has basically been out for the entire season, And now at 32 Pep has to use him right. I would of loved to see him get minutes last night but can understand why he wasn't used yet, Maybe another week or two of full training before he starts getting game time.

I would be amazed if he ever does a full 90 mins again, just think we will see little cameos off the bench.

Cleary a very serious injury and father time has caught up with Kun.

Except in the fa cup of course :-)

Or when we play them at home haha
