Everton (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Just watched the game on City+.
A few observations:
Donnarumma has made a huge difference. Dominates the 6 yd box, gives his defenders massive confidence and is actually v good with his feet. No question he’s in a different league to Trafford and a vast improvement for me on Ederson. It’s evident Dias absolutely loves him.
Nunes is looking more like at right back by the game. He does remind me a bit of Walker in his early days at City when he was prone to the odd brain fart. On Saturday he was pretty solid.
Nico O’Reilly absolutely excellent. Pep has found a top quality LB…the new Kimmich phenomenon.
Nico mini-Rodri also excellent. Growing in confidence with every game.
Savio was also v good. Got himself into fabulous positions on a regular basis but the end product isn’t quite there yet…I think it will come.
Foden looks to have slotted into KDB’s boots very nicely. Some of his passing was sublime.
Haaland just Haaland. Incredible.
All in all a very good performance especially second half vs a well drilled and organised Everton. A game we could have easily lost on past performances.
Most definitely title contenders now.

I can assure you mate, Savio was not very good pal otherwise good post

He does the difficult stuff then makes poor decisions at critical moments with final ball or finishing. He will learn.
He’s still a threat to defences and will get better. I trust Pep’s judgement.

Very skilful. It would be fair to say he was Everton's best player but silly to say he was the best player on the field. Foden, O'Reilly and Haaland were better.

am I not allowed an opinion?

Enormous upgrade on Ederson. The bleating bitches on here when we were getting the Don was unreal. Idiots

He looks more of the traditional type goalie, but really is top notch.

Indeed. Basically he looks an International world class keeper basically.

Clean sheet and 3 points after the International break, we wont get any rhythm until after the last International break and hopefully Rodri will be back.
The biggest issue is the wingers and lack of goals and assists, both are young but there are better wingers we could purchase.
Still within 3 to 4 points going into January 2026 we have a chance of the league.
