*** Everton v Champions - Official Match Thread ***

[Ted Hughes]

I don't know why people are blaming Hart. Nowt he could do about it and it is simply another woeful away effort from City under Mancini.
Direct the blame at the dugout.

100% correct.

We gave a vulnerable team & nervous fans the incentive by being disorganised.

Now our job is ten times harder than it needed to be as they are a different side.

Mancini has been one of the weakest links at the club this season.

fuck u Edin fuckin score

Really what he think with this line up that Garcia and Barry will dominate

[carl_feedthegoat]

I said Id give Mancini another season as long as we fight till the end but its performances and lack of tactical nouse that makes me want him sacked.

Fukcing idiotic tactics.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

This is a game we need to win, away from home against a team that our tough to break down and we turn up with Dzeko, Silva and Tevez as our only three attacking players. Its so predictable that it will be a struggle.
Its all the reasons Bob must go shown bright.
How many gutless appalling away performances do you need to see?

[mr_nool]

The yellows on Silva and Dzeko were very harsh.
But we can't pit the blame on the ref. We've been fucking worthless.

[DoomMerchant]

it's a crap day at the office for a bunch of our guys...let's see if someone gets a slap at HT and maybe we give Jayko the hook -- he's looking for it i can assure you -- and try and get something from this match.

it's a battle for 2nd....and i can barely be arsed. Maybe that's how Mancini feels based on what i'm watching.

15 points behind is embarrassing and is a justifiable sackable offence,especially considering the scum have been shite this season compared to other seasons they have won the prem in.

[PeterParker]

How the fuck is that Joe Harts fault, have you seen how the ball has moved. Look at our fucking fanny of a left back that can't tackle and just let's Coleman run at him and then square the ball. We have been shite yet again.

The issues is that is the million time this year he didn"t react. At least try, instead of standing there clueless.

React to what it's going one way then goes the other. It was a freak goal. Don't blame him for not moving.

He seems he has a huge lack of concentration. One minute ago they almost scored when Everton had that cross. That is the problem is not just in this game, it really is his full season performance. He looks like Joe before he went to B"gham. The goal reminded me of that strike that egyptian striker had at Wigan, in 2008/2009 and he just looked at the ball.

The other problems that we have today are for Bobby to solve in the second half.

[phips]

Wow. Really bad half. Kolarov is getting flayed alive on the left. Clichy on at half, 4-4-2 needed

[Cit.revenge]

Nothing Moyes just say press them and cover Silva any idiot can stop this set up ,and guess who will blame Bob

[kennyboy]

Kolarov cant defent going backwards like a headless chicken, take out a foot and stopp the ball!
Would never been a goal if zabba was there.

It's any team that gets amongst us. Sit back and we may tear you a new one. Put a bit of effort in and rattle us and we have no answer. Where's the plan b?

[clawbaggio]

We don't look interested at all. Can't string 2 passes together. Playing like pussies. Kolarov needs to be subbed. And Dzeko can just fuck off.
Not a lot on the bench to change things. All of a sudden our squad looks paper thin.

[Green & Blue]

Barry and Garcia are just not good enough are they?

[london blue 2]

We are simply carrying too many average players. Kolarov Milner Garcia Barry dzeko all fucking mediocre.

[Esky]

Did anyone see how bad Everton were against Wigan? They were diabolical, with Wembley on the line.

Barry/Garcia/Milner/Kolarov have been truly dire. Great goal, though.

[Ted Hughes]

I have nothing against it as a formation IF the team can play it. We wasted pre season fucking about with it which left us badly prepared, then we changed to it on several occasions & lost our way in games, often having to change back, then, out of the blue, here it is again.

Mancini often thinks HE has to win these games.

When he plays our strongest team & keeps it simple, he wins a lot of such games. When he fucks about with changes & tactics, he loses almost all of them. Usually he has tended to just do that in Europe & v Arsenal.

When he went to the Emirates & played a bog standard balanced formation, we were all over them.

[city9_4eva]

Half time changes:

Hart

Zab kolo nasti CLICHY

Milner silva barty SINCLAIR

Dzeko tevez

Well that's what I would do
