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

I would take Barkley as yayas replacement

He's a good footballer, but no replacement for Yaya. Like saying Ighalo could replace Aguero

[dick dastardley]

PASS Toure. Great tackle Otter

Toure looks 2 stone over weight

I would take Barkley as yayas replacement

I haven't seen much of Barkley but when I have he's just looked average to me. Saying that I've only seen him in a handful of games as I don't watch England.

Toure looks 2 stone over weight

And is really 43 years old.

Fact.

He's slightly above average with flashes of brilliance. But because he's young, people think that he might be able to produce the rare brilliance on a more consistent basis as he develops. But that's a huge if.

Phew

Baines going for the 80's coke/meth dealer look

[Tony P]

Just tuned in, can someone sum up the first 36 minutes in one sentence.

[Mase]

City defenders held their line brilliantly for that free kick playing two offside. The fuckin commentator "City players have lost their men!" WTF?!

[dick dastardley]

Here we go with the mad five mins

[london blue 2]

Fuck me Yaya. Wake up

[Dubciteh]

Yaya having a mare...prob win us the game tho.

He just looks like a typical angin scouser that you wouldn't trust not to nick anything from your house if you invited him round for a game of Fifa.

Like a certain other ex Everton youngster.

Fact.

The fact that he's captain is a joke.

[Mase]

"He goes slightly too early Lukaku" slighty?! He was stood about 6 yards offside! Character this commentator!

[Mase]

Silva seems to have the weight of the world on his shoulders. Would be nice to see him play with a smile.

It's the weight of Besic on his ankles

[Green & Blue]

Yaya is a slow as a wet week, carrying way too much timber.

Do we not have a dietitian at the club he could work with?
