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

Don't worry I think we are alright in this match

I'm regressing back to my teenage years and expecting the usual fuck up.

I'm will take some of your confidence over mine.

Rather have foden outwide doku off & Gundy on to help create

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Compared to the last dozen games?

Just saying what I can see at the match. We’ve created quite a few clear chances and kept Everton back

 

[jollylescott]

Were much more solid with Kovacic playing.

Kova is a handy squad player, as he was at Chelsea. He'll be back on the bench if we can find a suitable player in the window.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Come on City!!

 

[jimharri]

Casablanca on BBC 2 - a more enjoyable one

Or the Edinburgh derby. 2 OGs, apparently.

Utterly wonderful film, by the way. And Ingrid Bergman was a stunner. Though not a wonderful person, apparently.

 

[CΛL]

Foden playing really well creating chances.

It’s him dropping deeper and Bernardo making runs. Shame Bernardo can’t finish but I think if we swapped that around, Bernardo wouldn’t be making the passes that Foden can.

Savinho brainless today. Everton are keeping Doku out of the game and letting it go to the right hand side for Savinho cos they don’t fear him.

Just a lack of quality experienced players. I don’t doubt Rico and Savinho are good enough to be in the squad and will be great in the future, but they wouldn’t be playing if we had the luxury of bigger, more experienced squad without injuries.

Big second half needed.

On a side note, I have never seen a video with Johny Sins

Joan Sims (one for the FOCs)would be an improvement on some of our jokers

 

[normskih]

we are playing like prime barca and brazil mixed together

That good then:)

 

[Blu1]

Criminal that there's nothing doing down our left hand side when a pensioner is playing right back for them

It is mental, why doku keeps playing inside is beyond crazy tactics. He should be stood on the line stretching the pitch

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Same old really. Played ok, score, suddenly decide to take all the pace from our game, sloppy finishing (WTF Bernado! ) and then the inevitable sloppy defending.

 

[SWPISHOME]

He wants to be Mahrez but doesn't have the control.

He doesn't have anything never mind the control, His end product is abysmal. He'd make Adama Traore look like prime Nedved.

 

[TinFoilHat]

If Kev is fit...

Take Erling off and put Bernie in false 9.

 

[paulchapo]

Anybody looking forward to the second half? No me neither!

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

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.

Gundogan on to create??

 

[normskih]

Comfortable on the ball.

Missed our chances and Everton equalised with an obligatory defensive brain fart.

Standard.

The old one shot, one goal scenario for Everton then:/

 

[tommybooth]

Hopefully no sucker punch later!

 

[Vester]

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

It's the same as always. Having most of the possession but cant create many real chances, mostly low quality ones. On the rare occasion Everton counter its immediately dangerous since we our defense is more or less non existent.

 

[stan bowles]

Given up the Glenn Miller Story... for this.
Pedestrian, over cautious, crap.

Fog is the common denominator in both, it would seem.
