*** Official Match Thread: Everton v City ***

[PeterParker]

The sad thing is that I expect this every game now.

I expect us to struggle every game and I expect the defence to fuck up any time the opposition attacks.

It's incredible we've got ourselves into this position despite all the investment in the squad.

This is one reason why I'm not renewing my season ticket next year. Predictable every single week. It's boring!

When Steaua won the Champions Cup, they had a manager, old guy, genuine nice fella who always said when they played big times: They can't do you anything else except beat you. Why scared?

This applies here, what the fuck are we so spineless? Fuck the UCL football, I really hope we will miss it next year. We do not deserve to be there in the first place. Miss that fucking competition and go win the league and all the cups in the country. I was so desperate for us to play there 10 years ago, now I hate every second we are there.

PS: We are shit, really shit. But at 0-0 penalty + red for Robles. Different game.

Well, that's probably a four game retrospective ban for Zabba.

[Original Dub]

This is fucking unreal.

But we're playing well, right?

I think we were playing very well in the first half yes.

Wtf has changed that?

It really is.

So predictable and so boring.

od - you taking this in?!

[Vantage]

No urgency in our play KdeB is waving players forward but no support. Sergio will only pass to a Spanish speaker. Defence and Keeper all over the place. Not sure what Pep is telling them to do but it can't be "play at walking pace, don't support each other and defend like shite." We should be ahead here but the have scored with both their chances and we haven't with ours. With this squad and manager this isn't good enough.

We were not playing well at all mate , we were 100% passing it around well but that's about it....2 fuckign shots on target the whole half isn't good enough.

[Moonchesteri]

Tbh Pep looks clueless in the dugout

[Mase]

Nacho coming in. Would have taken Sergio off and told him to go fuck himself.

+10

[dick dastardley]

Everything's being played in front of the dippers that why were not scoring predictable boredom

[Moonchesteri]

Time to throw the kitchen sink we might as well lose this five nil but at least have a go

[Mase]

Nacho is playing so deep already. Get yourself in to box pal. Fuck what Pep says.

Problem is the sink is a plastic bowl

[Philng65]

Looks like 5 defeats and possibly another next week v spurs making top 4 failure distinct possibility.

I didn't think we were. Apart from the penalty not given, we created a couple of half chances. Apart from that we were slow, predictable and uninspired. Combine that with our inept back four + keeper and the writing was on the wall.

I thought we were the better team by far first half.

This is a different story though.

Confidence looks shot

[Mase]

Lukaku is taking the piss. He's one of the worst strikers in the league and he's taking the piss!

God knows I am a bravo critic, but I think those goals were difficult for him to keep out, just because he is too short to be a Prem keeper.

The second one was really well placed.

I am more amazed about the huge gap between Otter and Stones.

[Mase]

Is it wrong that I'm hoping half our team gets injured. I'd rather just throw the kids in than half these bellends. They couldn't do any worse.

[Vantage]

Has Pep even got up out of his seat this half?
