Everton (H) | Post Match Thread

Ok then…

Forget Everton and the time wasting. Awful watch and relegation is long overdue. Give the refs an inch to determine a result and they will take it.

This is how city have been playing all season. Bar Haalands goals we have not had much to shout about in terms of individual and team performance. We look like city but we are not.

The new pass 2/3 times and then give to Kev, Mahrez, Foden or Jack to dribble into a packed defence has taken the intricate passing out of this team. We slowly amble up to the oppositions box.

Anyway, I’m not annoyed. It’s not working. Fuck knows how long it will take to put right. Feel we need a reset.

Creating one goal in City's offense isn't that big of a deal, Alvarez or Foden are much more likely to beat a defender and create way more chances than Grealish/Mahrez. Pep's one flaw seems to be that he can't admit when something isn't working, he'll stay with a bad gameplan/lineup rather than make an obvious change. He's sitting world class players while City can't get out of first gear against relegation fodder, that's just weird.
 
Started at walking pace and kept at that pace until 10 mins to go.

Don't undertsand what Walker and Cancelo have done, Ake and Stones are decent defenders but create nothing going forward.

We crossed the ball into the middle of the box countless times and Haaland is always standing at the back post. You would think they would discuss areas to deliver the ball too.

Would also be interested to see the stats about shots faced and goals conceded by us as it seems everytime someone gets shot on target it ends up in our net!!!!!

Two shit home performances in a row at home so something has to change.

Mahrez has been dog wank since the start of last year. He has to go in the summer and I’m starting to think the same about Grealish. I want wingers who scare the shit out of full backs, neither of them do that.

I’m not sure what you are watching. Mahrez was good offensively and defensively. Plenty players were off today but not right to put the blame at his feet.

Similar to United with ronaldo last season, can’t help but think the number 9 is a thing of the past and teams with fast technical players are the way forward.

Haaland is obviously brilliant but we are much easier to defend against imo.

Nah. Hes still scoring despite the fucking awful service. we need to be more adventurous on the wing. Look at how many progressive positions foden got in in only 20 mins. He needs to start way more than he is.
 
Team for to the our place and love it we play so slow! They waste time and even at 1 down they carry on defending like there lives depended on it hoping for that one chance or wonder goal! At home pep should telling them to go at teams at full pelt one touch football, away can understand trying to control the game keep the crowd quiet!

Also at home don’t play this inverted wingers and play with overlapping fullbacks!

Tbh nobody can say Arsenal aren’t better than us. Right from the start of the season they’ve been on another level to everyone, even us. Only an injury crisis stops them winning it. They have a freshness, vibrancy and motivation that e simply haven’t got in our play.

Arsenal remind me of everything we were 4/5 years ago. Not only do they have the technical ability to dominate possession, but they have pace and a directness that we’ve lost.
 
Definitely needs refs to up there game, we will end up playing Athletico tactics every game if they don't. They need to realise that the game should be an entertainment! Moaning, lying on the floor and faking cramp isn't
 
Erling was obviously told to calm down at half time. Not sure that was the right thing to do. He hardly had a kick after that
 
We’re a better team without Haaland, I’d take 200 million for him and play Alvarez in a heartbeat

Something is off this season. we have the striker we wanted, he is scoring a lot but its like rest of the team regressed. also our attacks are very Haaland heavy, almost everything has to find him, we were a bit more creative when we did not have a striker attacking wise.

to drop points in these easy home games is gonna cost a lot.

Absolutely. We have a world class striker that we pursued and secured and we dont play to his strengths. Unless KDB plays one of those eye of the needle passes through to him or bends it round and behind a defence for him, we dont like servicing him
 
This isnt having a go at Mahrez and Grealish they are good players but against bus parking teams these two slow the game down and play the easy ball too often , the aggression and effort of Foden and Alvarez will upset these types of teams and their tactics. Our front three should be Alvarez,Haaland,Foden chasing the f*ck out of opposition defenders , Mahrez and Grealish playing together isnt working.

I can only remember them having one shot and that was the goal.

I'd like to see us going back to the 4-3-3 that has stood us in good stead. Grealish and Foden either side of Haaland. KDB, Bernardo and Rodri in CM and go back to traditional FBs instead of inverted.

Yep - it leaves us vulnerable on our right. Wish we'd fucked it off after Newcastle
