*** Toffees v City Semi Final 1st Leg MATCH THREAD ***

[london blue 2]

The most bizzar sub ive seen for a long time...3 mins left and he takes off a free kick specialist and crosser of the ball for a fuckign fat cunt in the middle.

brilliant.

There was four minute. Pellers took one up with his sub

[bigblue]

we look like a youth team that's tired, cold and just wants to go home

[sheblue]

Shite.

[Mase]

Shit! Everton have just won the cup I think according to their fans. There's no 2nd leg in three weeks. That's it. It's over.

[dick dastardley]

Shit all round display, especially from the usual suspects Toure, Otter, demi, clichy,
Silva doesn't look right

[Original Dub]

Funny that Pellers wanted to keep that scoreline knowing we'd be big favourites to go through to the semi final at home...
And Everton keep the ball in their own half thinking the tie is over.

City v dippers final

[littlebig]

To look on the bright side the away goal could come handy. Should beat these at the Etihad.

Result isn't too bad alright but fucks sake the performance again! We're just so soft and our defense, any time the ball comes into our final third is heart in mouth stuff.

Doesn't look great on Pellers.

[london blue 2]

Wow. Most frustrating final minutes I've seen.

Pellers can do one as far as I'm concerned. Sooner the better. Clueless management.

[Woodyblue]

Got to take the positives . Away goal and Navas on the score sheet not the worse game I've watched just wish we could play with more urgency from the start and stop giving the ball away

[sheblue]

Wouldn't single out any one player, all of them are playing well below their best.

[bigblue]

Surprised there weren't more calls for Nacho with the performance Aguero put in. You'd almost think that Sergio and Dave are still injured

[Hazy2]

The lack of passion, desire is shocking, we are not a big club yet, A big club turns up every game.

[failsworthblue]

We ain't winning nowt this season.

The best squad of players this club has ever seen are uninterested and a lame duck of a manager.

It is getting more apparent week by week.

[london blue 2]

There is one players who's performance stands out above all. Fucking useless tonight. We were effectively playing with 10

[Beefymcfc]

I am fucking bamboozled. After seeing the formation 10 minutes in I just seemed to switch off from the game and decided to watch as an impartial observer, to see how it went. Then we bring Demi on, and further sub's, I'm left a little gobsmascked. It's as if Pellers has been told to fuck the team up to ensure there's a game in the second leg.

These are the games that really turn Blues off. We want to see players fighting but to do that they've got to have trust in what they are doing. Pellers just doesn't inspire confidence.

Silva looked threaders, why is Yaya out there, and why the fucking hell would you bring Demi on, even if Mangala was injured! He trusted Fern to that job not to long ago!

Not the result today for me, it was the manner of how Pellers is making us play. No trust at all.

[sidSmith]

There we go, eventually we see the fucking stonewall penalty, only shown after 15 minutes and they take the lead.

Strange to think that the ref's couldn't see, or understand that.

I can understand it if the refreshed it, but the linesman just MUST have seen it.

I can't understand how the ref can miss it. He's looking right at it and has a much better view than the linesman. No excuses for the ref as far as I'm concerned.

Since we didn't get more than one replay from a strange angle, I can't recall how the ref was positioned. But the linesman should have been in line with the players about 10 yards away from them with no other players in his line of sight.

Was bored and pissed off. At 68.59 you can see both the ref and the linesman in perfect positions, views not impacted. 1 second later he's fouled and nothing. So seems we got double fucked!

[carl_feedthegoat]

We cannot kid ourselves , we are playing shite and have not performed away from home since fuckign september.
Goals have dried up away and Pellegrini has turned us into a boring fuckign team of late...its just not good enough.

I can name 5 players that need to fuck off in the summer and I bet a pound to a penny Pep gets rid of them as well.


p.s YAYA IS A LAZY FUCKIGN LUMP OF SHITE..AND HAS BEEN FOR YONKS.

Is he really any worse or less interested than any of the rest of them, or is it he is just not able for 90 mins any more.

Scripted mate, it must be a City thing.

Stonewall not given, allowed to kick us to fuck but when we go near them .........

[zabbadabbado]

Pellegrini lovers can give me all the shit they want.

He really is stitching us up.He is deliberately undermining our season, out of fucking spite.

If proof was needed ,his last substitution. Everton down to 10 men, we are 2-1 down needing a goal, Sterling, and Kelechi, on the bench he brings on Fernando.

I rest my case

His substitutions make no sense and benefit the opposition nearly every game.
