I'm sick of you you ****, you're banned.

Top modding.

Yaya and Sergio need to up their levels in the 2nd half. Need the big-game players 'on it'.

 

[pudge]

Nobody will dare say it, but Mangala's stupidity has almost cost us twice; first with the needless tackle on Barkley, and chasing Lukaku to the half way line to inevitably be beaten in the air and then leaving a huge gap in behind him of Everton to drive into, forcing Fernandinho to take a yellow.

Sterling has been predictable, we should bring Delph into the middle, switch Silva left and push Yaya forward.

This must be a tricky game for you.

What with you sucking off Everton every chance you get.

Jesús Navas' half by numbers vs. Everton: 100% tackles won 95% pass accuracy 3 take-ons 3 crosses 2 chances created

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

Delph on for Navas at HT:

Delph - Yaya - Fernandinho

Silva - Aguero - Sterling

That's exactly what we should do. Doubt the manager will see it that way though.

 

[Demosthenes]

Get Delph on for Navas and go 433
They have no width and we have gaps in midfield
Front 3 of Sterling, Silva and Aguero works for me

Why should Navas go off? Sterling has looked shite compared to him.

 

[Silva_Spell]

We're 'lucky' for successfully pulling off the offside trap, apparently...

 

[blueinsa]

Although he's an excellent footballer, Fernandinho always looks like a red card waiting to happen. I'd replace him with Delph after the hour mark.

He won the fucking ball ffs.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Navas would do well to switch flanks now and again with sterling.... Inexperienced left back on for them now, get at him.... Yaya is getting caught up with pushing on, sit and we'll win this by 1/2... Not a bad half though at a tough place!

 

[BigOscar]

Apparently we got "seriously lucky" because the linesman gave the correct decision?
