Match Thread | Everton vs Man City (26/02/22)

[Damanino]

If even Lampard with a squad he just took over and doesnt really know yet can take points off of us (I guarantee you Chelsea, Pool will beat them later on) we are in a bit of a trouble.

Pep needs to seriously wake up the team in the dressing room and let them know what is requested.

Tempo is off, we are losing second balls, we cannot just go through the motion in this game and expect to win.

Not much attacking ideas so far, and lot of passes are just rubbish.

Massive overreaction here. Not vintage but not terrible either.

Would look to bring on Mahrez and Jesus for Kev and either Foden or Sterling at some point.

The wheels have come off.
Too slow. No Incisive passing.
Lucky if we get a point at this rate.

Gabby loves playing this lot. Get him on.

there's something horribly wrong with this side this season

Aside from our long winning streak...

Absolutely woeful 1st half. There is nothing to like about that 45mins.

I don’t think any City player has reached anything like the required level and some can’t even fucking see the required level they are that far below it.

The front 5 have been fucking terrible. KDB and Gundogan offering nothing in the middle of the park and arguably look more likely to hand something on a plate to Everton, rather than create something for us.

Foden trying but nothing really happening.

Bernie absolutely invisible.

Opinion on Sterling depends on who you support given he has been Evertons best player. Can someone explain why our quickest player spends most of the game trying to slow it down?

The defence looks a little too shaky for my liking. For all the plaudits Stones has received at RB in recent weeks he has been woeful today.

We are making it far too easy for Everton and we need to step it up big time because this isn’t the quality of a league winning side. Nothing like it.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

One of those games where the win is more than important than the result imo.

I don't think we've been as bad as some on here are making out, it's a tough game against a team who are working hard with a new manager fighting for their lives.

Keep calm and keep playing our game and we should get a breakthrough.

Bernardo out of position too tides the season he’s had in the middle, scandalous

A pint of that for me as well ta.

This is currently our most important game, particularly given last weekend's result. We need to make a statement today, that we're not going to fade away. I'm confident we can do it. Seems like a lot on here aren't.

Not confident Pep will change things in time.
We are well capable of beating them of course but not like this.

Feels like a really big half coming up in this season - maybe too early to say decisive but so important to find a way to win this
