Match Thread | Man City vs Everton (15/12/18)

To keep them down to two shots on goal and zero on target is excellent.

Repeat that in the second 45 minutes and we have to be very happy.

It’s not gabbys fault that he is offside . He is leading the line very well . Mahrez and co need to release the ball first time . His runs behind the line is well timed but the rest is not on the same wave length . David or kdb would love see that kind of run from the striker .

Mahrez could have played in two dangerous attacks, but held onto the ball for that extra touch which led to Jesus being offside both times.

Mahrez needs to learn to release the ball a tad earlier.

Yet again biased commentary.
They said Everton are still in it and not much to claw back. Why is it always let's peg city back and come on the other team? . Yet when liver fuckin pool play it's always they are well worth their 1-0 lead and they should be looking to double the lead, fucks me off.
Same when we are top, how can teams claw man city back?
Anyway great scoreline as we looked sloppy early doors and if big nose sticks his chance in then it's an uphill task.
Big 45 coming up.

Feels like only Dave and KdB can make a through ball pass without it being intercepted or offside.

Mahrez refusing to release the pass earlier resulting in 2 offside calls already.

Jep, need someone with that ability atm, not really sure Bernardo will ever be that player in our midfield,but will see.

 

[Dax777]

Can we have the real Bernardo Silva back please? This one after return from injury is a shadow of the player before injury.

He hasn't been great. But he is doing ok.

Spot on, he has to think much quicker.

 

[RandomJ]

Need a second. Walcott will be due his usual goal against us.

KDB for Mahrez Berny out right after No 2 goes in

We’ll take that. Think Pep will require some quicker passing in final third in second half.

Gundogan been an excellent link, Sane and Mahrez/Bernardo look threatening if we can squeeze the ball through that back 8/9/10, and brilliant to see Jesus slot the ball home from a difficult angle with his wrong foot.

Fernandinho been uncharacteristically sloppy a few times, but an 80% Fernandinho walks into every team in the League.

Weak link, as is often the case, has been full backs, especially Walker. Makes same move every time and when he gets forward, if he is read, we are wide open in behind him.

Richarlison and Calvert Lewin look like they’ve got a goal in them, so we need another goal, and 15-20 minutes in Aguero and KDB and the jobs a good un!
