*** City vs Everton*** Official match thread

[PeterParker]

I think today Garcia actually made a step up.
He gained games, he gained confidence and look very very secure.

Fuck me, I am excited, he looks quality.

[nottsblue]

Next time Bravo is in goal, can we just draw the little curtains around him and tell folk he fell in the Grand National?

That cunt wouldn’t make it to the first fucking fence

He’s gonna play v the rags though, sadly

might have to wait 'til end of March for that, but it just might work.

No no Garcia and Foden can't play, they're not ready for the league like some suggested.

I hope he continues to play Garcia regularly, we could have some player. He reminds me of Canavaro, short, slow but my god he can read the game and turned out to be one of the best defenders of our generation. Ironically Canavaro made his debut at 17.

Both are ready, they are therefore in the squad

I liked the way Garcia went after Calvert Lewin after the foul on Fern. He was one of the first over which makes a pleasant change

[Simister]

That's 100% a penalty.

Sure about that?

What on earth do you mean ? do you understand football ? Foden is attempting to shoot at goal, as the replay clearly showed and the defender blocked his foot , he did not attempt to play the ball. A clearer penalty , you will never see. As Slim pointed out to another remark, Foden didn't kick anyone he is shooting at goal. complete rubbish being peddled about here. A 100 percent penalty- Remember , you can never have 1000%.

It was a clear pen and I'm depressingly unshocked that there was no var check

There WAS a VAR check but they quietly decided, hidden in their little room miles away from the scrutiny of 50,000 baying fans, to sweep it under the carpet.

There was a VAR check, they just didn't stop play.

That cunt wouldn’t make it to the first fucking fence

He'd manage to garrotte himself on the starting rope.

[john@staustell]

They probably wanted to avoid a re run of last week's fiasco

And so did we probably

He (EG) did the same at Wolves. I like it when he gets stuck in

Wishful fucking thinking

If bid Ed was playing I guarantee he would’ve absolutely smashed into Calvert-Lewin at the next set piece

First look at the Match Thread, hoping to see numerous positive comments

[Hazy2]

Nice end to the year. Jesus, Garcia, very good. Mendy is like the end of Yaya with us.

I thought Mendy had a great game today. Didn't lose himself defensively and looked good going forward. I so want him to be great but the problem is you just never know which Benjamin is turning up.

He would be fine if he played regularly.

While Laporte really reminds me of Belodedici. He was nicknamed the deer because of his elegance on the back.
He was the first player to win the Champions Cup with two different teams: Steaua and Red Star.

I hope Pep sees what everyone else does.

[stevefromdonny]

Very lucky from Calvert-Lewin not to get a red card there.

VAR mustn’t look at those

they do, a Watford player had a yellow and then overturned for a red

[City64]

Just got back home from the Etihad after driving there thinking Bravo wouldn't be playing .............

1, Bravo is shit .
2, Everton are dog shit .
3, FUCK VAR
4, Garcia is absolute class , positional awareness and tackling are amongst the best I have seen from any defensive player in a long time .
5, Fernandinho is class.
6, Mahrez has hit top form and become consistent .
7, FUCK VAR

Great 3 points CTID

FUCK VAR

[PaulieIrish]

I don't know what you guys saw today, but I saw at least two excellent saves from Bravo from on-target back passes. Perhaps even three.

Get off his case already - the stats don't lie!
