Everton (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

I thought the 10 extra minutes were quite interesting, it was nearly 5 before an everton player touched the ball, and that was only to give it us to take a free kick, eventually they did win a tackle, but it wass back to us, I would imagine we had the ball for about 9 minutes 45 seconds of the 10. To say everton had given up would be an understatement.


Yesterday wasn't a brain fart, he was thinking about the team for Tuesday night, rightly so. I didn't like the team much, but I did understand it.
Some of our fans don't understand Pep's tactics and methods. Thankfully, Pep picks the side and decides the formation - and not random lads on FB and Blue Moon - even though I enjoy reading the opinions.
 
There is a fan who sits behind me - moans incessantly every season - even last season when we ripped everyone a new one - they went into overdrive yesterday. Always yelling 'get it forward' - they can't stand Pep's play it out method - no comprehension of the fact that we're constantly trying to pull the opposition out of shape. And their mate in the next seat is just as bad - although not as vocal - just spends the match agreeing with the main blue moaner.

To be fair Harry, that could have been me first half yesterday, and pretty much everyone around me, I wasn't yelling "get it forward", but I was complaining about the lack of movement, and the slowness of our play.

I fully understand the "trying to pull the opposition out of shape" thing, but first half yesterday was dreadfully slow.

Thankfully we turned into normal City after the early second half changes.

We had a gang of moaning old bastards who stood behind us in the Kippax, back when I was a nipper. We were shite at times to be fair, but moaning about the football we a currently being served up? Fuck me, they must lead miserable lives.

It was obvious what he was doing. One eye on Tuesday, giving people game time. Anyone who thinks that this was our strongest team is an idiot. He made the changes required after an hour, we won the game and didn’t over stretch Kev. Nunes got a chance, akanji some game time and Stones eased further back in.
 
He mentioned how good Foden is in the small pockets in tight games then sticks him back on the wing after he scored a hat trick in the middle. Still we won, hopefully he won't fuck about as much again.
Nunes needed a game, Doku needed a game, Bernardo and Kev needed a rest. That’s why he put Phil there. He introduced Walker as an attacking full back so that Phil could tuck back into the central area.

One of the reasons that Pep is so brilliant is that he looks at the squad holistically- who needs rhythm, who’s training well, who needs rest. He balances all that with winning the game, more so when we have a big game coming in three days.

That’s not a “brain fart”, it’s the opposite: it’s world class management, keeping the whole squad motivated.

At least in the Kippax, you could always move to somewhere else.

I watched City initially from the Platt Lane Stand later moving to the Scoreboard End. During reconstruction, I moved to the Kippax before returning when the North Stand was opened. In the first season it was standing but by the second season, seats were installed. I got my first season ticket in the North Stand. The family bought a bought four tickets for me, my mother and my (Wolves supporting) father, and one spare for the daughter of our neighbours. I think they cost about £15 each for the season?

Unfortunately a row behind us we had a annoying character with a speech impediment who was forever blithering on about going to 'Wembwee', and kept saying 'Come on Buzzer'. I am sure he was well-meaning but is was very annoying match after match.

We had a Sunday League ref from Burnley who stood near us. Everything was 'terrible'. We used to have a sweepstake as to how many times he'd say it. I remember one game it was well over 100.
