I love the 100PL Goal programs on Sky. Currently watching Gerrard’s. That boy didn’t really do many tap ins, did he? So many greats strikes from range against us and Everton. Big game player.
And, we’re off.......2018/2019

Thought Everton played ok today, but their finishing was poor.
They had enough chances to get at least a draw.
Pickford needs to think a bit more where he plays out to ,he is putting defenders under pressure.
But he must be under orders.
Just more clinical finishing is needed.
City breaking up play again with fouls and Delph was a very lucky boy,

I have never been so cold in all my life at a football game, poor little 6yr old at side of me was freezing. Said sod its at half time.
Ave said this before and I will say it again, half decent teams like Everton will get chances V City. You have to take them. Everton missed two good chances in the first half, could and should of been 1 up. Happy three points today.

Speaking as a neutral I can't understand comments like the above.
Yes Everton had chances but Man City had significantly more.
And as for fouls committed I had to check the stats as that wasn't the impression I got from watching the game.
Guess what? Everton committed more fouls.
Perhaps had Richarlison scored at 0-0it might have been different but over the 90 Man City were far the better team.

I only saw half the game, and from what I saw it looked 50/50 re the challenges. Funnily enough when City did get a soft free kick, there were ironic cheers from the crowd. But I will repeat what I said earlier this week, Everton were doin what City Do every game breaking up play. Yet it didn't go down well with the City crowd. City did break up play but the first yellow card shown was against an Everton player who brought down Mahrez a yard outside the box when he was away.
From what I saw, it was a good full blooded game from years gone by ðŸ‘

Doubt we will win next week but who knows anymore!

Played like Man City for 80 mins, then Dover City for the last 10. Always a pleasure beating Colin though.

Town bossed it against the Toon. Yet again we failed to score.
Come on Mr Wagner, get us a goal scorer in the January window!!!
We’ve played some bloody good football so far this season.......... just can’t finish! 🤯😡

Good result for the Toon. Rafa has and is doing a fantastic job despite no backing from Fat Ashley

I am a neutral my point is City Arguably the best in the league will always make chances.
Just look at their bench!
They have so much quality it’s scary, they will score goals.
but teams like Everton won’t make as many as them that’s why it’s important that they take them.
On the fouls I am sick of hearing how Pep likes lovely flowing football! But not when the opposition have the ball they rotate to foul them to break up play, they are experts at it.

Good news for UTD fans,Smalling signs new contract.
That’s doesn’t strike me as a neutrals response...... they’re title rivals.
Re the teams having a go. Most that do end up battered, all underdogs need to take their chances against the big boys. But there’s a reason they rarely do. Their strike force isn’t as good.

From what I see they are no more or less guilty than any of the top sides in the PL all of whom play a pressing game.
This can often leave holding midfielders exposed when the press is broken. In those circumstances no team will allow the opposition a free run and will accept the risk involved in conceding a foul.

Come on Mickie, you've played the game.
There are fouls, and there are fouls. Reds, yellows, a talking to, accidental,malicious,dangerous,vengeful and hardly touched him ref.
Tactical fouls on the half way line, whether a shirt pull or an ankle tap are meant. As such they are more likely to be given as yellows, or at least for some teams or by refs who know the game.
On the subject of fouls, how did Deeney get away with that?

I don’t support City and I don’t support Everton I would say that’s the deffenition of a neutral.!
I’d of thought a neutral would be someone who has no vested interested in a team. Be that for good or bad.
For example, as a Saints fan. I’m never gonna be neutral discussing Pompey.
You support Liverpool right? So currently a team you’re challenging would imo be a rival, and one that bias for your team may see you slightly less neutral in your stance......

So you think I am pulling for Everton ? Get real all I said is Everton had chances to draw the game.
No, I’m not saying you’d want Everton to win. My oringinal remark was in regards to a few times where you tried to imo find fault at city/pep when other teams do exactly the same. I wasn't in regards to the result.
Anyways, not looking to put out the scouse contingent as you've all been grand hosts in the past. And, tbh, it's nice to see half our players do so well in the league

I agree and certainly am not suggesting that Man City should be treated any differently to other teams or that they aren't guilty at times of a sly one or even something less subtle.
My point is that , in that respect, they are the same as everyone else .
Titles and Cups are never won by teams of angels.
As for Deeney I, at first as the father of an ex-keeper, thought it was a bad one but watching it again I cam see that the pitch conditions affected both him and the keeper. Both slid possibly further than they expected on that surface.
I certainly wouldn't want to think that it was deliberate on Deeney's part

Deeney challenge. One of those that looks worse after multiple slow-mo replays. At the ground no-one batted an eyelid...apart from Colin.
