Everton v City post match

[PistonBlue]

I'd go with Big Willy and Bravo next week,I suspect they'll be busy.

 

[Mancityus]

Aguero,Sterling & Clichy were much worse mate.

If you play Aguero at half line on the flank and expect him to run to front of the goal and catch his own pass and score then you will find him short every game.

Pep needs to place him at center and make sure he gets some service. Sterling can score sometimes but is not natural. Klichy, Stones should not be starting.

PC, are you joking?

Read through mate, some of the posts on here are laughable, moronic, and a bit racist ("THIS... IS... ENGLAND" type posts). Not all but this sort of loss definitely brings out the worst on here.

You go on being ok with all that and I'll continue calling it the shite it is.

Didn't see any of that and might have glossed over it to be fair. Little steamed at the moment :(

Despite our poor performance, the manager seemed incapable of making any sort changes, either personnel or tactics. His vacant expression when the cameras zoomed in said it all.

Fair play to pep didnt think it was possible to make us worse than we were under pellers, but hes done it in a breath!! No wonder hes the best coach in the world eh :-/

 

[SebastianBlue]

What a pile of shit. Mancini never beat a Everton either!!

Tell me how Roberto has got on since, all these teams beating a path to his door?

Pep has his aged cast-offs and three years poor purchases to work with.

One of the few sensible posts in this thread thus far (not that is a challenge, unfortunately).

Never say die in that last season!?

To perform as he did in that last season was truly outstanding.

Undermined before a ball was kicked, deliberately hamstrung in the transfer market, knowing he would've been sacked but for agueroooo, and STILL he dragged us to top four and a cup final.

Then the news was leaked that he was being sacked , a deliberate act of sabotage made to make winning the cup as difficult as possible as -again - he had done a perfect job in the circumstances and winning the cup would make sacking him all the harder to justify.

And lo! Some city fans bought it and cheered.

They're not cheering now.

That is a very very worrying interview

What's he going to do, say they were utter shite in front of the press? No, I really don't think we need to pay much attention to those. It's what he says on Monday, in the privacy of the training session, that counts.
The number of teams that have simply stuffed on on the break this season is staggering. Only Spurs played us at our own game and played it better than us. Today the team disgraced itself. And Pep has to take his share of the disgrace.

 

[CrownPointBlue]

the players know that there is a high chance that any shot at Bravo will end up in the net ......thats the problem and its putting all the players under pressure. In Hart the players have confidence in !!!

Has no one told you mate,he's not there to stop shots,it's a new plan.

Have a word with Mossideblue,that Karen7 bloke & others. They'll explain it all to you,really smart they are.

 

[Eaglechief]

Please don't blame Bravo. He was totally exposed.

I agree, a lot of people are just beating Bravo with a heavy stick, but in truth our entire defence is total dog shit, although Pep's partly to blame for setting us up so naively game after game.

There's only so much a goalkeeper can do single-handedly to save us from losing.

 

[noelH]

The minimum expectation of us fans is that the players give 100%,work hard,show pride & character irrespective of the circumstances.
Some of our players failed that test today.
Aguero,an experienced international,played as he has done for the last 18 months,half hearted,disinterested,lazy.
Sterling lacks the physical & moral courage to be a great player. Headless,gutless chicken.
Clichy,all of the above.
Possession. No goals. Miss at one end,concede at the other AGAIN,AGAIN & AGAIN.
They had 4 yes 4 chances.....so very,very disappointing.

Yes and who is it who has been responsible for buying the crap we have? It could be bullshit of course but if it's true we are after Ben Davies then we have completely given up here. Txixi has to take responsibility for this mess of a squad. Pep needs time of course he does and we need to get behind him. However, so far he is struggling big time and today's defeat is completely down to him and nobody else. His post match press conference is also a little worrying. Say what you want about Bob but at least we had fight back then and a defence!

 

[Chi-town blues]

Wtf is wrong with nalito?
Is he still fucking alive or pep trying to be a fucking bully?

 

[Keeper!]

I certainly don't want Mancini back as manager, that is history, but he sure could spot a player and in my humble opinion would make an outstanding Director of Football

But he is a tactical genius though, or so we were told.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Mancini is the biggest myth in football. Never had a good job since

 

[inchy14]

A first half pen that we were never going to get, only certain away teams get those, we wouldn't have got it at home either, clattenberg ran out of fingers before booking Everton players & what the fuck with Lukaku? A yellow?

That being said if Sterling would actually shoot rather than walk the ball in we lead and would have won.

Overall a usual first half performance and a fucking shite second half one.

How Davies never got booked I've no fuckingbidea, he even went into the crowd after scoring and didn't get a yellow.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

time for a bit of panic buying I reckon

 

[avoidconfusion]

And people had a go at me when I said I'd take a point before the match.

Knew this was going to happen. Another season wasted after spending shitloads. And don't get me started on Bravo, really had enough of that clown now.

 

[Dave S]

Txiki is responsible for this shit show.
Same old aging team minus 2 .

Guardiola is responsible - nobody else!

 

[CrownPointBlue]

Very good questions.

Can some please put a 'Goal Keeping Strategy'thread up. This needs a constructive airing.
