Everton - Post match thread.

Agree. Seems everyone but pep knows that sane can't play as a wing back. The sooner Mendy comes back the better. Him and sane will destroy fullbacks left right and centre

I think it's peps blind spot that decision he always picks the attacking option. The gamble didn't pay off this time.

Mate I've seen you defend him with good intention for over 12 months but he did not lead the line well tonight, in fact he was awful, that doesn't make him a bad player or anyone asking for him to be replaced but lead it well he did not!

He was brilliant in the second half when we were fighting to get back in the game, created some good opportunities, didn't get any of his own, but linked up brilliantly with Silva and Sterling.

Wasn't good in the first half.

Oh please tell me footballing genius, why else did Guardiola change the centre backs around, the centre backs he spent his press conference on Friday explaining why he wants Kompany playing on the right.

let me guess, he did it because he was so happy with how they were playing? Or perhaps because he just wanted Otamendi to be closer to him on the touchline?

Also I think he saw how Everton were letting Otamendi be the one of the back three that passed it forward which is not exactly his strongest point.

The back 3 individually tonight were top class, but as a unit, nothing to do but be tight & had no idea where Everton pkayers were as soon as more than one got forward.

Drill the fucking defence properly & we win the title.

Don't bother & we will lose to teams such as the rags

We were awesome tonight & have dropped two points v a team who could not get near us.

We weren't awesome really were we?

Fucking LOL. Last week he was slated for picking Danilo instead of Sané and being too safe.

I disagree. I thought he was excellent in tight areas keeping the ball and bringing others into play. He grafted for the 90 minutes and didn't give the back four of Everton any peace at all. First half I can understand some criticism but not the second. Should have scored though which I suppose is his job and gives those who want to have a go a free pass.
 
Drop silva and KDB and play a front 5 of Aguero Jesus Sane Sterling and Bernardo. We need pace on both wings when Sterling doesn't play were distinctly average.
 
What was it with all the crap negativity on the matchday thread. Much more than usual. We're there a lot more than usual 'guests?'

I agree but boy are we frustrating to watch sometimes. One daft mistake from a guy out of position and loads of chances missed. Unlucky can turn to annoyance quite quickly.

I might be waiting a long time but my opinion is that the players haven't quite gelled as a team, when they do we'll be something else. Another thing is that the squad has been mostly overhauled but not quite fully. The defence still needs sorting out and I think that will be done next summer. I said this before a ball was kicked last season that it would take till Pep's 3rd season for him to get us to the level that he is famed for. I still stand by that view. I'm not saying that we won't win anything this season, we most likely will, but next season will be the one to watch.
I'm a very patient man.

Not sure a yellow can be rescinded, but the three match ban from the red can and should be challenged, even if the bent FA are unlikely to give it a second thought.

Regardless Danillo should start next game, he was IMO as big a game changer as any when brought on.



Here's something we all agree on, probably none moreso than Pep.

I love Kun, but we need a Sanchez to feast on all those opportunities we had in their box (23 in total all game)

Absolutely no guarantee he would score any more. Jesus is a scorer & can't even miss any.
