Jings Jeremy, how often do you do that? Lose the ball in that position

 

[BlueMoonday]

Another moronic dig from the co-commentator saying it's quiet at the Etihad.

It's an early kick off on Boxing Day you moron. Most normal people are nursing a hangover. 12.30 kos are typically quiet no matter who the home team is.

Why haven't Everton got the club badge on their shirts ?

They have. A VERY simplified version of it, anyway....

Crest change as Everton unveil new away kit inspired by Goodison feature

Everton have unveiled their away kit for the 2024/25 season which will be worn for the first time tonight at Coventry City

Savinho is doing my fucking head in with his decision making today

Do we not have any academy wingers to try and freshen it up and given him a rest ?

 

[Beanhead]

We’ll win this 4-1

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Grow up.

Some proper clueless cunts out today. Put it down to too much sherry in grannies trifle.

 

[mattcity5]

Not for me, his man was on his own.
He gets caught out ball watching, a lot!

He does, but I think this time we're one man short in the area for some reason.

Akanji goes nearpost side of Calvert-Lewin in case there's a short ball played, when ideally we have another centre back there so Akanji and Lewis can mark their men. Lewis gets dragged in a bit because Calvert-Lewin is free.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Ake is a proper defender.

 

[East Level 2]

The Norwegian goater is looking a bit lost. Maybe he does need some time out.

False 9 has done a job for us in the past. Why don't we just give it a go again.

We don't have goals elsewhere in the team.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Slightly better, good first five minutes, good 40-43 mins buy that was it basically. 1 shot 1 goal for the opposition, nothing changes

Same every match apart from Villa and Dippers.

 

[Vester]

The reality is we are by far the better team, should have easily been 2/3-0 up. And then once again, as is our luck at the moment, an opponent who would normally slap a shot into row Z arrows it into the top corner like prime Zidane.

Everton have done nothing, they deserve nothing. If they hadn’t scored we’d all be sat here thinking it’s normal business resumed. The score line isn’t even close to telling the story and if we go out and do that again we will win 4-1.

In the meantime there’s the usual hysterical shite posted in here.

Stats say the expected goals are 0.8-0.47 at HT, +0.23 goals in our favor. We may have been slightly better, but lets not kid ourselves we have been massively unlucky here.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Pep to spot the max opportujity balls and adjust our focus in the HT team talk.
Kev in second half for 20mins, that’s when we pull away.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

We’ve actually started much better here.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Come on City!!

 

[Ajm1985]

Good pressure and chances there

 

[malg]

[Don Karleone]

Unlucky lads

 

[Bluemoon115]

Better

 

[Beanhead]

Much better

 

[01cravend]

Kev could have huge impact here.. be loads of space for him
