Everton post-match thread

[kaz7]

Funnily enough in all competitions we have won 9 out of 15 games at home with a clean sheet or by more than two clear goals which incidentally would take us through to the final. If you factor in all games won it is 12 out of 15. I would suggest that indicates we have a more than even chance of going through.

Some City fans are complete and utter surrender monkeys, no faith, no loyalty to the team or players. Yeh, let's forget what these players have done for this club, picking it up off its arse and delivering us 5 trophies, where none had been seen for 25 years and during a period when even a quarter final was as rare as a nun in a bikini

Frankly these 'fans' make me sick. I actually have no idea what they must have been doing during our halcyon days in the late eighties to early two thousands.

The players must wonder why they bother for such an ungrateful bunch of fans. I still think it's a minority when you get to the ground on match day most fans are supportive, but they certainly make their voices heard on here.

This is a place to vent,so long as the match goers get behind the team it doesn't matter what is said on here
If this is all that you have in your life to make you sick then you are doing ok

Funny you say that. Heard quite a few supporters wondering out loud last night why they had fucking bothered and describing the players as ungrateful after yet another insipid performance from the players in front of fantastic support followed by most of the players fucking straight off the pitch without even acknowledging the support.

not disappointed at all, we,ll go through, jesus goal made my day
How easily our attacking players are being contained so regularly is concerning, Conservative approach is not our strong point and that's why i think our attackers are lacking the killer instinct that they are capable of, it is not helped by our poor defense, against parked buses 3 in midfield makes it all to congusted for our attackers to find spaces and play with flair

Totally agree karen. Before the internet everyone headed to the pub had some alcohol and then chewed the fat and got things off their chests.

Today with the internet, it's just easy to come on here after a few drinks, fire from the hip, I've done it myself.

But as you say the lads and lasses that go to the game always get behind the team, and what punters on here including me say doesn't mean a flying fook, and most of us have other things equally important as City going on in our lives!!

I am with you on this @coleridge.
If at the start of the season I was told that we would be where we are now, I would have ripped both of your hands off for it.

Why? Serious question.
We're second in the table. Our past five finishes have been 3rd, 1st, 2nd, 1st and 2nd. Our current position is the average of our previous five so why would you have been pulling arms off for it?
We're in the semi-final of the League Cup. Woopy fucking doo!! We've beaten relegation-threatened Sunderland, mid-table Palace at home and Hull from the Championship. So what is so amazing given the relatively easy draw? We're a top four team so why should defeating that particular group of opponents be so fantastic? Top four team reaches last four of cup - shock fucking horror.
Topping our CL group is something to be proud of though; I'll certainly admit that.
And we're still in the FA Cup; even we couldn't go out without playing a game.
But have we seriously exceeded expectations given the quality at our disposal and the benign cup draws?

Very true I can't wait till the end of season!

Seriously ffs come on City!!
Still in 4 tournaments, time to man the fuck up!

It seemed churlish to post anything about Bobby Madley's performance after we were soundly beaten by Liverpool. However, this time he had even more of an influence on the Everton game. I'm well aware of our shortcomings in the performance but it wasn't too bad and had we had our stonewall penalty given we'd have got away with a draw.
Madley is an awful referee who seems to have a problem with us. The advantages he gave Liverpool at the Etihad were akin to Rugby Union in terms of length of time the advantages were allowed before pulling play back if nothing materialised. No such luxury afforded to us as a couple of advantages quickly fizzled out. Of course, I'm missing out the bleeding obvious stonewall penalty.

Did I mention the penalty?

He is a disgusting referee, makes me vomit every time I see this corrupt cheating ****, ranks alongside Foy and Walton for cheating levels.

He must have been paid very well or just very happy to appease his rag friends and colleagues!

Has to be one of the worst referees I can remember and looks like we could potentially see many years more of this corrupt cheat!

Yes I do hate this cheating ****, corrupt to the core ****!

The rags went out against middlesbrough of the championship they must be suicidal after spending 250m quid because that guarantees success...

Oh and whilst we're at it Arsenal went out to division one Sheffield weds... arsenal fans should be tearing up their season tickets..

Shocking that we got to the semi final because we always found it p*ss easy in the 80's

We are ungrateful according to blue mooner , absolute horseshit.Those poor poor players and manager-they wouldn't even fucking know we were there they way they carry on.

I was at Goodison last night and me and my pals were genuinely gobsmacked we didn't given the penalty shout for the foul on Navas. Aside from seeing the incident live I've just flicked through the highlights 15 mins ago and it was nailed on. After the contact was made kevin mirallas is caught on TV looking across at the lino looking as guilty as fuck. So whilst we are quite rightly having a pop at the corrupt twat of a ref why didn't the lino flag for it ? He could only have been 20 yards away. Like a growing number of games this season there is a shit load of frustration after last night but it's only half time and if the boys put a shift in for the second leg we are capable of getting the three goals required because I doubt we will keep a clean sheet !
