***Official Everton vs City thread***

[Crossie]

Well spotted David, i want your babies

[Sideshow Bob]

Balo for Dzeko at 60 min?

[Dameerto]

Silva's taken up tevez's mantle, he's all over the field so far.

[Mike J]

silva is simply a fantastic footballer.

[BlueMoonAwoken]

That pass an move sequence was the best piece of football i think ive seen from city.

[Ted Hughes]

Phil Dowd had made some bizarre descions today, fat twat.

We need 2 goals as that fat wanker is giving the crowd everything they want. They would have got a pen for that challenge on Kolarov.

[Crossie]

We could have had a penner for that, nice play,

Not often our midfield just plays through someone like today.

Tactics are spot on, just stop the silly free kicks around our area and corners too!

WE PLAY BETTER AS A TEAM WITHOUT TEVEZ...SERIOUSLY.

[Dameerto]

WE PLAY BETTER AS A TEAM WITHOUT TEVEZ...SERIOUSLY.

I agree with you, since the semi we've been a much better team as a whole.

[The Original Special One]

I had difficulty deciding in whether to make Silva or Ya Ya my skipper, this week!

.....oh well, there's plenty of time for 'The Little Magician' to add his name to the scoresheet!

WE PLAY BETTER AS A TEAM WITHOUT TEVEZ...SERIOUSLY.

We've played our best half of the season imo but Dzeko has been fucking totally useless. If we had somebody like Drogba in his position we'd be about 5 up, he's offered absolutely nothing in any area. Hopefully he'll start playing 2nd half & we can kill them off.

[PeterParker]

Three observations for me after this first half

1. I would love if we sign for next season Baines, the lad can be a great defender for us with Vinnie and Lesco

2. Silva is becoming more and more important for us than Tevez.

3 After almost 15 years i've known his face, i can firmly say that Phil Neville is the ugliest cunt i've seen in my life

[Crossie]

I might watch the Spuds game later, we are on the edge of glory.

[PALUS]

how much we win games without tevez is sombody knows

[aaron bond]

silva is simply a fantastic footballer.

He is a joy to watch.

It's talents like him that make football worth watching.

Agreed.

CARL, if you think that we'd be playing worse if Tevez was there instead of Dzeko you're madder than I thought!

He may be selfish in and around the box (and rightly so for the most part!), but its not like Dzeko is receiving the ball and spraying it around.

PS Silva is fucking UNREAL.

[Sideshow Bob]

I agree?

[Crossie]

Maybe Dzeko is allowing the others to play so well, we dont see all his movement and work off the ball do we? If we played that well all the time with him upfront, and he never scored I wouldnt be that bothered!

[Dameerto]

Dzeko's been a decoy, same way Balotelli was used as one in the last few games, they drift around dragging defenders with them creating space for Yaya to exploit in the centre.

[Original Dub]

So have we started to see what it is exactly that Yaya Toure does yet?

I think he's brilliant.
