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

[Asa's left peg]

Its a weird one. Pulled something maybe. No impact i dont think

Looks like he half turned the ankle

Everton not in it until Akanji's bullet pass to Silva. All is not lost.

Are there any positives?

 

[skillman]

Haaland constantly making a nuisance of himself, making runs, manhandling defenders, presence from hopeful crosses is a massive miss.

Especially when we’re as toothless as we are.

Alvarez isn’t a striker. Same way Jesus wasn’t.

He needs to be on the ball creating things to stay invested in the game. In this team as a 9, your job is to finishes off chances when they come your way. Not his strength at all.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Get Bobb on for Bernardo. He's been shocking by any standards.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Can we not rely on Kyle fucking Walker to try and build up play from the back, its painful to watch.

 

[hertsblue]

Exactly.

Look at Liverpool, 5 goal scoring attackers.

And excellent at set pieces, you know they actually work on them.
The way we are playing, just can forget about the title as we have zero quality in depth and too any toothless players.
Least playing Sheffield Utd and Huddersfield soon we should grind out 3-2 wins but it would not surprise me not to finish in the top 4 this season as we cannot defend, keep a clean sheet and are clueless and timid up front.

 

[Stelea]

Foden also shit. he does fuck all but flick it around at times

When does he ever step up to influence a game when we are looking for somebody who is supposed to be one of our main men

 

[East Level 2]

On the edge of their box and Foden passes back to Ederson.

I mean wtf???

30 seconds to HT and Phil turns and plays it 60 yards back to Ederson

We kept possession. It's more important than heading towards their goal.

 

[burning blue soul]

There is a trend this season. The trend is not converting our big chances. That has a knock on effect with the belief of the team, and increased pressure on the defense as the oppositions belief rises with every bullet dodged.
We are short on big moment players this season.
