Match Thread | Man City vs Everton (31/12/22)

Had an inkling he wasnt up to scratch when he fucked up the minutes silence

Was about to shake hands with his assistants then realised it was a minutes silence

Really bizarre game. Relaxed and comfortable from City's perspective (and even Everton's to be fair - they're forcing very little but not giving much away either). City much the better team and deservedly ahead. And yet Haaland and De Bruyne could both have been sent off on a different day. Pep needs to get them in the dressing room and just calm them down.

And Haaland for at least 3

The ball was in play for 23 seconds in the first 4 minutes

worst ref this season

Isn't every ref in our game the worst one? I missed a few minutes moving from downstairs to upstairs, what happened actually?

 

[Cricket Blue]

Be a miracle if we don't get a sending off here
Ref is awful but we have to be careful

It’s not just winding him up, though. They’ve left their boot in from minute one and the ref is ignoring it. They’re going to injure him and the ref is going to make it out like Haaland was asking for it.

He got that tackle in the first 30 seconds, after that haaland left one on the same player, haaland hasn't had a bad tackle on him since, but is now constantly in Godfreys ear, then sprinted 10 yards to make a tackle on him he didn't need to make, he needs to wise up

 

[N1985]

Absolutely evident we are reffed differently. Players feel pissed off its happening, players play like they're pissed off.

The referees in this country need a good looking at. Something is fucking right.

As for City, it'll be a masterclass on the 2nd half.

 

[Rolo]

Poor half really. Never really got going. Great goal though. A second will finish it.

 

[colorado blue]

Stones should have scored with the header and game would have been over. Ref hasn‘t helped us much. Need to take control early in second and get a few players off before they get sent off.

I bloody love Haaland, what a wind up merchant!!
Such a shame he’s leaving in the summer for Real Madrid
