Everton (FA Cup) Post Match Thread

[PragueBlue]

Excellent result.

We played well in patches but Everton made it difficult by packing the middle with 2 CDs and 3 CMs which meant there wasn't much rooms for our creative players to operate. Once they started to tire, spaces started opening and we started creating more chances.

We looked very solid at the back and Everton's only hope/tactic seemed to be to play for long throw ins and corners/free-kicks.

Not at our best but that was largely down to how Everton played and I never felt we were in any danger of not going through.

I really think Godfrey for them will go to the very top. A quality player

Honestly, a year or two of consistency and someone will be purchasing him a la John Stones...

Hard game against a dirty team. Teams struggle against us in the last 10mins as they are exhausted.

Foden, fern & zinc excellent
Gundy right place right time again.

good run out for laporte too we really need him match sharp.

raz is trying but right now should not be starting for city in important games his confidence is shot. Not sure I can say that as some might cry that I disagree with them!

yes Jesus worked his ass off but zero threat in their box is my only concern for him again but again some don’t like this either.

good win with some legs rested

I love you City, not as much as these bottles of Old Crafty Hen (at the moment) but by fuck I fuckin love your bones.. Im buzzing like a new born bee on speed .. As the genius Prince, wrote, and the person called Sinead O’Connor sang... NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU X

Imagine having a manager with a CV like his, and playing like that. Might as well have Bobby Gould in charge.

Edited.

A team in 7th in the league, playing at home in the quarter-final of the FA cup and they play like that.

Fuck off!

Fully deserved to win

A really pleasing aspect of the game was just how hard the team fought. It's an excellent sight.

 

[stan bowles]

Everton never wanted to make a proper game of it. We had to be very patient and take the opportunities when or if they came. Credit to us for a very professional and efficient performance. Sterling is going to be on the bench regularly if he doesn't step up.

 

[Great Kompany]

Everton were well up for that, posed a really strong physical challenge. Great attitude from the players to come through that tie.

I think this is a good point. Every once in a while we will come against teams like this and the fact that we were able to break them without KDB says a lot about this team.
What a victory!

Gabby will be sore tomorrow, tough game, quality was the difference in the end

 

[willipp]

Really enjoyed that I really did. Everton were horrible and made it a tough nasty game, but we showed there we wouldn’t be bullied by anyone. We mixed it when we needed to and had the confidence that our play would get us the goal. Brilliant win that.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

We're fucking well ace.

 

[Shaggy]

David James well proper happy with that win by the Super Levatating No Fan Channel Oil Money Fraudiola Blues

 

[HaughtonGreenBlue]

Don't care how we win as long as we get the job done. Zinny and Ferna were outstanding.

 

[Paul1970]

I cannot think of anything other than world class team world class manager and world class supporters. It’s a pleasure to be a Man City fan

 

[stanblue]

Did anybody notice the stadium announcer when de bruyne scored he said Manchester United,what a bell end.

 

[jaiguruKun]

"That 90 minutes shows how much progress Everton have made" was Jake Humphries take at full time. Was he taking the piss, they and their tactics were dire!

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

Apparently its not fair because we have built a very strong squad and because Pep rotates the players we are still fresh. Unfair to the rest of the league.

Oh and we had that 3 week Xmas break.

I think you’ll find it was a full month - and we furloughed the team.
