Match Thread | Man City vs. Everton (26/12/24)

[Longballutd]

Public apology from Lewis for that defending

 

[Newmoston1212]

Who can’t wait for another shit 2nd half performance

 

[01cravend]

PFA player of the year has there ever been such a drop off the season after ? Done nothing all season

Eden Hazard did the same iirc. Pfa player of the year one season...utter shite the next when Chelsea finished like 10th

 

[eyalluvitt]

Everton’s tactics in this half.

1 attack, 1 goal.

Bernardo’s sitter would have ended them

 

[Ajm1985]

Really annoying goal to concede. We're much better than them and we're just so passive & clumsy in defence. Some passing from Gvardiol, Akanji & Savinho has been poor. Kovacic isn't a great 6.

Foden has looked good, some nice build up play, Savinho & Doku have shown moments but haven't been able to pick/execute the right option. Need a few of these players to step up a gear

 

[johnny crossan]

Another tough watch.

Casablanca on BBC 2 - a more enjoyable one

 

[B\connellblue]

Our set piece coach is either terrible or the players can't do what is asked of them

He's Terrible.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Come on Wolves!

Our only chance of keeping us 4th from bottom

:)

 

[ufo]

fucking shit 4-1

 

[Bluearmy]

The goal was Dokus fault, him and Sav aren’t good enough

Been saying this for months. They should be 3rd/4th choice at best at this stage with us. But Grealish/Bernardo been that poor out wide also we’ve played them a lot. It’s all a huge issue for me.

 

[dromoreblue]

We need Kev on the pich

 

[Keeper!]

Everton’s tactics in this half.

1 attack, 1 goal.

is it a surprise, we are at home, we make it happen

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

Turgid and as pedestrian as ever …. how some fans ever had the nerve to moan at Sterling & Mahrez I’ll never know.

 

[bitterblue78]

From treble winners to a team no better then a west ham or fulham

 

[Ajm1985]

PFA player of the year has there ever been such a drop off the season after ? Done nothing all season

Scored last games and has looked good this game so far. He's trying to drive & orchestrate the play

 

[NptonBlue89!]

We can’t attack we can’t defend but we can control a ball around the half way line

 

[kaz7]

Akanji has been largely excellent for us but he is drifting back to his Dortmund reserves form

He has been playing with injuries for weeks , he istrying his best

 

[Blueknows]

Everton by far the worst team we have played & let’s be honest we are not doing much.

Why is doku coming inside ????
Why are we not using savi more ???

A bit more huff & puff but that’s it

Gvadiol & foden look fooked

Why are both wingers not taking the defenders on and putting a cross into the box is what I want to know

 

[PistonBlue]

Generally better than of late, but defensively as fragile as ever. Could go either way

 

[MCFC1993]

It's the hardest and most demanding position in our system. Not everyone is perfectly cut out for it unfortunately

Just nowhere near close to Rodri or Fernandinho, not even good enough to be a back up in my opinion.
