Everton v City Live Thread

by blueboy Sun Jan 15, 2017 7:59 am

So, after Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs all put in some excellent, goal scoring performances yesterday, we have no option but to ensure we win this game...an also hope for a dull 0-0 later.

Pep has so many options today, with the exception of Fernandinho and Gabriel, as he's known to prefer....

The team have had a full week to rest and train, though it seems some have only just started training recently, Fernando (injury) and KDB (illness).

We need to start quickly, get an early goal and settle into a passing rhythm, but it seems we keep saying that week in week out, and it's only when the second half comes around, do we seem to step it up a gear.

One player who seems to have nailed down a starting place, is TLMLF:

Must win game

by skyblueoz Sun Jan 15, 2017 8:54 am

Lets hope we don't give away that early goal in the first few minutes like usual which leaves us chasing the game.

Team News:

Bravo
Sag, Ota, Stones, Clichy
Zaba, TLMLF
Sterling, Silva, KDB
Aguero

Nijinsky called it right.

Zabba could see his contract extended if he keeps on doing well in midfield as he then becomes versatile.

That's mean Delph gets the boot but he has hardly played for us for the last 18 months anyway so we won;t miss him.

Just got home at 12.40 and put on Sky Sports to watch the build up to Everton v City and for 20 minutes its been all about Man Ure v Loserpool and they are the later game. According to Sky the coverage of their coverage starts at 3.30 WTF???

Just said that to my lad....are we kicking off later or something?????? Rolling Eyes

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:23 pm

well, they are talking about the teams in 4th and 6th. big match...

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:36 pm

that was a yellow on raheem

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:38 pm

Everton will have good chances on the counter it seems

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:38 pm

Stupid foul from Kev

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:40 pm

woeful pass from otamendi creating that chance for everton

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:41 pm

very poor from a good situation.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:42 pm

what a twat sterling. no confidence.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:43 pm

even though the goalie did foul him Razz

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:43 pm

It's a penalty.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:44 pm

would he have had to send him off as well???

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:44 pm

but sterling didn't need to be cute. just slot it home.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:46 pm

sterling gets very little from refs.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:46 pm

all that diving hasn't helped his reputation

by Guest Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:48 pm

Why Raheem will never be world class, foul or no foul just shoot first time.

His end product is his achilies heel.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:50 pm

everton happy with little fouls here and there that the ref gives nothing for

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:50 pm

first goal matters here

says it all about your immediate hatred for Sterling....the ball held up, wasn't as fast as it could have been, otherwise, he'd have hit it first time. Clear penalty - so don't give Sterling grief for something he didn't do.....KDB's second similar ball was again under hit....the grass is clearly wet and long, and just holding the ball up.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:52 pm

another poor pass from otamendi

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:53 pm

no hatred for sterling. you just like to pounce when anyone criticises him. He should have shot first time instead of being cute and taking it near the keeper and the defender.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:54 pm

you just can't be objective because you've nailed your colours to his mast.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:55 pm

It was a foul. It should have been a penalty. But he's brought it on himself with all his diving.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:56 pm

barkley unlucky there. looked like he got the ball clean there.

by blueboy Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:57 pm

I am being objective....watch it again, then watch KDB's second cross he makes...the ball holds up, it doesn't skid across the box, otherwise, he may have hit it first time.

It was a clear penalty....give the kid some semblance of credit instead of EVERY SINGLE WAYWARD PASS by a player, or the slightest of mistakes, you jump all over the players. Wink

He hasn't brought it on himself...when has he dived???? Thought he was a toe-stubber??? Razz

Wish some would make their mind up! Rolling Eyes

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:58 pm

silva should have scored. did you see that ball from kevin?

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:59 pm

come on clattenburg, some yellow cards for them please!

by Guest Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:00 pm

Great ball but walking it in again. Clatterfuck needs to get hus cards out soon, dirty horrible team.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:00 pm

I'll watch the replay and give an objective view

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:03 pm

good tackle from otamendi

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:03 pm

another foul on silva

by blueboy Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:03 pm

Topdawg wrote:silva should have scored. did you see that ball from kevin?

Far easier chance than Sterling's!! Razz

Let's get on Silva's back!!

Look, if every player NEVER made a wrong decision or a mistake....we and the likes of Chelsea, LFC, United, Arsenal and Spurs, would all be equal on points, unbeaten...... Wink

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:05 pm

clichy's fault for another dreadful pass.

you can't have defender's who can't pass the ball.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:06 pm

game moved on too quick to say much more about silva

by Guest Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:07 pm

Peps plan without the players, was sat for the last 20 mins thinking they will mess one of these up soon.

by blueboy Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:07 pm

Same old same old....not getting the rub of the green, should have scored, then one poor pass from Clichy by itself, wasn't to blame....TLMLF allows Miralles to run off him, Otamendi is far too far off Lukaku and again, Bravo can't get his hand to a shot.

Onwards and upwards.....kick up the arse they need.

Not sure Zaba in MF is an answer to Fernandinho being out.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:08 pm

aguero misses an open goal. needed itchy there

by blueboy Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:08 pm

Good to see Twattengerg having his usual game against us... missing everything.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:09 pm

jumping on Yaya at he first given opportunity Rolling Eyes

by blueboy Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:09 pm

Don't talk shite....he's had his chance and been awful! You now want Kelechi over Aguero!! Razz

Don't worry - I had a dream that Sergio scores a screamer!

by blueboy Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:10 pm

Topdawg wrote:jumping on Yaya at he first given opportunity

No, Clichy, Otamendi and TLMLF....keep up! Rolling Eyes

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:10 pm

what chance? he's a kid who's not got a run of games.

by **Topdawg** Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:11 pm

mainly clichy's fault for the pass. I need to see it again before I blame others.
