*** City v Everton (21 Aug) official match thread ***

[Nigels Tackle]

forget the decision
we have been shit. clueless football. shit loads of possession with the players on completely different wavelengths in the final 3rd
SHIT

[ayrshireblue]

That's surely a case for dubious decisions panel!!!!

Be gobsmacked if it reached them. Would give my house away if they overturned it

Can't appeal a yellow. Which is why we get so many 2nd yellow red cards. The game is fixed.

[Sideshow Bob]

our players and mgr thought those big wins in preseason meant something. started to believe their own hype. reality strikes back.

[london blue 2]

Compare that to pogba the other day. This shit is a joke

[Tokyo Blue]

This madley bloke's a fucking cheat. Look at the second booking for walker and then the one on Silva that gueye got away with.

everton are utterly loathsome in every possible sense.

takes stupid players to make stupid decisions
walker is a dick

[Original Dub]

These last few seasons just feel like one horrible long one.

Sky are lapping this up.

[Justified logic]

OK, so Sane is no LWB, but now we've only got one fit FB, and he's not evenon the pitch. Fuck!

[Mase]

Harsh but he's also an idiot for doing something stupid so soon after being booked.

He's cost us the game now.

Never in a month of Sundays would that have got a second yellow if it was a Rag. The cunt couldn't wait, he wanted Walker off so they can demonise the billion dollar FB.

Funny you should mention the rags, Pogba should have been off for two yellows at the weekend.

[PeterParker]

Just two fucking games in and I am already feeling sick.

It wasn't a yellow card, but if you've just been booked then you're on the mind of the officials and (rightly or wrongly) you should take a few minutes to calm down and concentrate on your football.

Walker chose not to do that and looked at the player before he bumped into him.

He shouldn't have been sent off but he also needlessly put himself back into the focus of the officials.

Correct - to not have more than a couple of 'pops' at goal in 45 minutes is a disgrace.....PeP goes on and on and on and on about Barcelona and how we are years away from getting to that level...I agree with him..with this bald cunt in charge we will be light years away from getting anywhere near to that level.

That was torrid football.

[Blue Since 76]

Boring, pointless passing football, 1st shot on target is a goal and a cheating ref. We could have saved £200m over summer and replayed last season

[Moonchesteri]

I'm seriously starting to doubt if Pep is just a fraud who can only win if he has by far superior team compared to all others

[london blue 2]

Also peps tactical change moved otter and kompany which led to the goal down that side.

Ground hog day

[budfox]

OK, let's get positive for a moment. Last season, and the season before that we started with five wins and didn't win the league.

Pep knows what he's doing all right. (I wish).

[Sparklehorse]

He barely touched him

He didn't even touch the Everton player for the first yellow, made a good honest challenge for the ball, sent off ???? He's done nothing wrong...here we go again !!!! Ffs

[iwasthere2012]

Ref has given two yellows that weren't and ruined the game. NBCSN calling it straight.

However Sane and Kun are miles off. So is Jesus actually. We have enough chances to be 3-0 up and we are totally wasteful.

Sane cannot defend. The weak pass was one thing but jogging back after the fuck up is unforgivable.

We look tepid. There's too many need s rocket up their arses. You'll win nothing jogging around at half pace.

Did I mention the ref is s cunt and really stitched us up.

That's one that should go to the panel as a player cheated to get another sent off. Can be classed as a game changer.

[FA cup winners 2006]

I understand pep is probably trying to give both jesus and aguero game time while games are spread out at the stay of the season but they simply don't work as a 2.

Need to get sterling on for width on the right which means a lot of work for the centre mids
