Match Thread | Everton vs Man City (27/12/23)

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Slow, laboured, no tempo.

How the fuck have this lot scored against us? Same as nearly every other goal we conceded, ball turnover in our defensive third from a mistake. In this case 3 mistakes. Akanji with an overhit pass, Bernie slips and Rodri falls over.

It frustrating as fuck to watch us struggle against this lot. Let's be fair they're not good, bottom third fodder.

We can still win this but were going to have to be better in their final 3rd.

As for the cheating chants. Get fucked. Scousers and projection and irony who'd have thought.

I don’t post here at all, this is done now I fear, best available 11 already started, no breakthrough with all the possession, nothing on the bench again. I like Bobb but he shouldn’t be the guy to come on when we need a goal.

Even though it’s only 1-0 it feels like it would be some turnaround.

Everytime we're 1-0 down it feels monumental, see how we come out in the 2nd half, I reckon we'll know in 10 mins whether it's on or not.

I knew when Beto started he was going to problem for Akanji

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Im relatively calm. To be fair if we were offered last may you win the treble but next season youll go a little shit maybe finish 4th. Wed of taken that all day

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Everton putting in a shift but they will tire and gaps will appear in the last 20 mins. Shame about stones. Love him but he is made of (fragile) glass.

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Everton are defending very well. There is very little space in their box.

Our only hope is to draw them out, play quick ball into feet down the flanks and then cut it back for a shot on the edge of the box. Too slow in the transition though.

Agree. No energy and too slow to catch them out of position.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Need to score early. Where are the goals coming from tho?

 

[WRicko]

Apart from that one. He's got nothing wrong and played us done decent advantages. Give the conspiracy shit a miss

Not saying he has had a bad game just pointing that incident out. He hasn’t had much to do and at the time that incident felt important as it was such a frantic game.

Would also like another look at the lead up to the goal what happened to Rodri he doesn’t give the ball away like that unless fouled

 

[Goater=Legend]

Rodri has the ball and we have two players on the wing that want the ball feet, Foden, Nunes and Alvarez all coming short, does nobody think about running in behind and creating space?
