Everton post-match thread

[purplenose]

Shoddy performance all round, careless defending, a lack of penetration up front. An opportunity to make the return leg a relatively easy night spurned in my view through the attitude of the team. They are of course quite capable of being 3 up after 20 mins of the second leg and may well win the second leg comfortably......on the other hand we could fuck it up, get a duff ref decision and so on and get knocked out.

How that ref didnt give a penalty when Navas had his legs taken away is beyond me...but when you play like City did tonight its those decisions that bite you in the arse...needless loss the players need a rocket up thier arse.

What site did you use?

As i nrecall, aftter the first half we had 33% possesion vs 66% for Everton. I guess we got more possesion then second half, especially when Everton were down to 10. But did we suddently had 66% or more possesion in the 2nd half? Sorry Sir Knob, but i don't see it.

Pretty sure that was a "last 5 minutes" stat.

Of course not happy at the result, but very do-able to get the the final. Will be interested to see how damaging lukaku's injury is.

Aside from the result, have to say I thought the referee was off his tits tonight. Summed up for me when he finally awarded us a free kick, sprays out his stuff to mark ten yards, then proceeds to let the Everton wall encroach over it before the free kick is taken, which ended up hitting the wall! Incompetent doesn't nearly cover it, hope he's being assessed on that .

Maybe its me but......
no de bruyne and win first five games
he comes in..scores but we lose to west ham
since then very poor
sevilla away no de bruyne. Amazing performance
the balance is not there
hes a good player. But is it to detriment of the team?

Don't understand the negativity on here. Shame we didn't hold onto that draw. Just what will it take for us to get a penalty in a crucial game? It's been about 4 games in a row that we haven't been awarded penalties that have been given so many times before in other games.

I wish someone had continued to document this

Is Zab injured again?

What a bunch of pathetic, negative fuck-wits you lot are...

What has the club I love done to deserve such a bunch of wimpy, miserable, moaning gits as so called supporters?

Everton played well.

It was a great game of football.

It was played it a good, sporting manner.

It is only the end of the first half...

And, much to my utter delight, the hard working Navas scored (with his left foot).

City have no devine right to win every match they play.

Liverpool v City Final.

City win with Sterling scoring the winner in the 90th minute.

JJ.

Go and have a lie down mate, that was fucking rubbish , Everton are an average team, as are Watford and Stoke who also gave us the run around , you may wank over Navas scoring his first goal in sixteen months but me mate Everton thouroughly deserved there win- in fact if it wasn't for Lukaku continually going offside like a fucking amateur it could easily have been 3 or 4 one.

This manager is fucking average, you can bleat all day long about fucking percentage wins at Madrid,blah blah fucking blah but he's been found out 12 months ago by average managers.

Thank fuck he's off in June, I'd wager the players can't fucking wait either judging by there inept half arsed performances , Mancini lost the dressing room and we were served up shit football towards the end - what's Pellegrinis fucking excuse- after all every **** wants to take him for Sunday lunch and just love his style of easy on the eye I fucking love you boys style football .

They are not playing for him, that much is evident.

I didn't think the result was a complete disaster. People need to remember that we are fighting in four competitions and still have an extremely good chance of going through in this one! Aguero's assist for the goal was fantastic :)

 

[CityForever45]

Didn't watch the game, just the highlights, it didn't look a disastrous to me like someone here says

I find it mystifying how dreadful we are at the moment. With the wealth of attacking options we have we barely create a jot. Tonight was just another bad result in a long list of bad results that we've had this season. Pellegrini can't go quick enough in my opinion
