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

[jollylescott]

We desperately need a Mahrez-like experienced winger. Having two kids on the wings is not good enough for a club of City's stature.

We started off with energy but we fizzled out later on. Come on you blue boys we can still win this

 

[Tb1981]

We've been flat the whole half, could have put our foot on their throat after scoring, but we didn't.

Doku is an horrendous player. Savinho slightly better because he doesn't have the control and composure of a pisshead stumbling in at six in the morning.

Please Christ Pep, get them playing quicker. Just flat.

Don’t be too positive mate

 

[Tomblue]

Same tactics same results. We look toothless.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

We need to score early 2nd half or i think we'll get beat. Painful viewing so far.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Had to switch the commentators off. Absolute disgrace even by normal standards. We really are fucking despised.

 

[Blue and true]

Can't fault the overall tempo it has been the individual defensive error that has cost us the lead. Got try and regroup.

Mate, come on. The tempo has been very slow. Invariably we're neat and tidy but that isn't enough at the minute.

 

[normskih]

Been working today. I know the score but how are we playing?

 

[hertsblue]

Every game we play:
11 shots 3 on target.
Opposition 4 and 2

We are absolute shit on the final third and finishing and so easy to score against

 

[gray740]

How the fuck is Stuart Pearce the best Amazon could get?

The absolute worse football I ever witnessed in the dark days and this gets him a gig ,unreal.

 

[Phoenix900000]

We must have spent 30 mins in our half passing the fuckin ball around

That's what we do

 

[BrianW]

I reckon with two new full-backs and a quality midfielder with energy, we'd be a different team.

 

[TinFoilHat]

It always the reason why City do good in a match

It can never be that City actually played well

We've had our moments.

The old typical city is strong in me at the moment. I've not seen this city mentality since the 90's.

 

[PragueBlue]

Not too bad considering recent performances but we really should be doing a bit more. I think Lewis handicaps us a bit by not really being great defensively or going forward.

I suspect more of the same 2nd half with maybe KDB or Gundogan coming on, which should (hopefully) be enough to win the match.

 

[super_city_si]

I think he will be a top player
He just isn’t quite there yet, offers way more than bernado on the wing

I’d like to see him on the left. On the right he keeps cutting and running in to traffic. He has a good left foot, bet he could whip in some balls for haaland

 

[YatesA]

I have the feeling peps said to savinho to get at them and he's trying way too hard, once he's going at pace through the middle. His touches need to be tight and he needs to look for foden or haaland as well as the opening for a shot

 

[Blu1]

Our standards have dropped so much if blues think we are playing well. We have a bit more energy that’s it. This is not difficult for the worst team we have played this season.

 

[SWPISHOME]

We should be ahead in this game, We aren't good enough on front of goal, Gvardiol header off the post was piss poor, He has to be hitting the target from 6 yards out, Bernardo with a great chance too which was blasted wide.

We all knew what was coming after those missed opportunities, Savinho giving the ball away in the final third which led to the goal, Rico Lewis with no awareness of what's behind him whilst Savinho is standing scratching his bollocks looking at Ndiaye and not bothering to go and mark his man.

Overall it's been really bad, Still a game we should be ahead in.

Our wingers really do get on my tits, I don't like giving out about players but they are really poor especially Savinho he's a complete fanny. We all take the piss out of Antony at the Rags, He's very similar to him.

 

[Mancity1980]

At times we played faster which was the bright spot. I thought Phil was more like himself and Doku continues to improve marginally game by game. Still silly errors you wouldn't expect from elite players. There are only two things I don't like about Savinho: the way he plays and the way he acts. I wish Pep would go through the little bugger and tell him he is allowed to pass to players in a better position than him.
50/50 who wins this. We are the better team but it seems they only need to create a chance and its a goal.

Correction, they only need one touch in the pen area to score a goal. One touch in area in half a hour one goal, joke.

 

[MCFC1993]

Were much more solid with Kovacic playing.

Not enough, a good defensive midfielder and we walk some of the recent games.

The player signed in January has to be there.
