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

[Platt Lane veteran]

First time for quite a while I’ve been wound up by the way we’re playing. Maybe the tramps are getting to us as well as the players.

Utter shit that first half, come on City

 

[cookster]

Way to slow to play RB

Keeps passing backwards and getting caught in possession. Walker or Zinny need bringing on.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Grealish to come on and prove his worth

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Shocking first half from us, picked up where we left off last weekend.

I don't understand why Pep has chosen to empty our midfield again?

Rodri is completely exposed because Bernie is so high up and De Bruyne is so slow to even get back in.

Cancelo can't get out on his side and Everton more than happy for the centre backs to bring it up and have the onus on them to find something between the lines.

If we don't show more desire and urgency, we aren't winning this.

Utter shite. KDB is a geriatric. One decent run and he's fucked. The whole team are aimlessly passing with absolutely zero pattern of play. Not a chance of winning this league playing like this. Liverpool would be 4 up in this game. United would even have had more meaningful play than ourselves. What Stones is doing a right back I'm not even sure Guardiola knows. It's got all the hallmarks of a team that's been tinkered with and is now playing like it's broken. Just fucking dreadful.

Way to slow to play RB

I'd take Laporte off and put Stones at centre back, Stones the only one trying to break the lines with passes today. Laporte has been shit so far how many unnecessary fouls does he want to commit before we eventually get punished for stupidity.

Laporte is untouchable Absalutely Stones needs to be playing centrel & Walker has to play 2nd half give us something going fwd & pace to get back
How the fuck Mahrez our best threat the last 8 weeks isn't starting again fucking joke sort it out

Our last 30 yards is poor it needs change & fast not at 1-0 down, you watch we will be chasing this game & that cheating cnut Richarlson will get a pen I hate him like I hate Naymar

The annoying thing about this game is that Everton don't look any better than the table suggests. - They've not raised their game but we've gone to pot.

Only 6 shots on target in our last game and a half and when we do get one on target we have no natural scorers so the effort is quite weak often.
Everton just look like they want it more but another wrong set up by Pep with Silva up front and no pace in midfield to counter their energy
