Wba are going down

Unless they get rid of bilic asap. He is an awful manager .. one good season for us (all because of a super star player in our team) after that awful

For a defender how he can't set up a basic defence is amazing

Oh do you not rate Bilic? I don't think you've mentioned that.

Sorry but he is a terrible coach

Payet made him look amazing

Payet got injured we barely won a game

Came back suddenly top form again

We let in so many goals under bilic but won games like 3-2

Great to watch but how on earth can't a defender set up a defence?

When we got Hernandez he ended up playing him as a winger rather than a striker trying to shoe horn Carroll in the team

A lovely bloke and very smart out of football

But as a manager . Below average.

Expected more from this Yernited v City game.

Hope the 2nd half is better

The first half went much better than I expected!

Oh, disappointed to see Pogba playing, he shouldn't even be in the match day squad in my opinion.

 

[Dando]

I think sky should rename this evenings football as sleepy Saturday ????

 

[Orikoru]

Well that was bloody awful.

 

[Dando]

Well that was bloody awful.

That’s being generous!

That was a shocking Manchester derby. Not sure either side can really take too much away from that. United looked content not to lose and City looked short of ideas to break them down. The penalty that wasn't arguably the highlight of the game

Pep at City is finished. That's not a Pep side, he know's he's done. Rhodrigo is a slower version of Matic and he's years younger.

That was the worst I've seen City in 4 years and even then they were the better side and had the better chances. Utd really are a mess. That's home games against City, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal with 1 goal scored! Third rate.

Fabulous display by Everton, a real team effort. Not sure how long we can keep flogging DCL without giving him a break though.

Pickford got away with a few still. Hopefully Carlo took note and will install the new guy next match. We can't keep getting away with it.

Lots of positives though after some wobbly games.

He's a liability.

Thought on the balance of play (Chelsea hitting the post twice)it was a fortunate win but Everton just done enough to win.

I even had a few quid on them at @7/2 so they've paid for my wine on Xmas day ?

What I don’t get is Pep playing Rodri and Fernandinho. But that aside we look solid in defence and Stones has finally turned up. MOTD hit the nail on the head once more. City are converting 10% of chances. That’s shocking, but I mentioned that months ago. That’s down to the players, not Pep.

Re Utd I can remember going to games and City would be annihilated by them. They look a shadow of the team they were.

Yes he is. Carlo played the new guy once, he looked calm and commanding. I don't know why he didn't keep him in.

You bet on us to win ?. Just remember that's Everton wine when you are drinking it on Christmas day ?

Watched it yesterday and was a very good game.
Everton really stopped Chelsea playing in the final third with some great defending.
But one thing struck me ,how easy the players went down with the slightest touch.
Both were looking for fouls at every opportunity.
Calvert Lewen is really looking like a top striker .

We are, no doubt, so how are we above you in the Prem?
Utd have generally been shocking, we can all agree on that, but we're still very much in touch.
Are all teams really inconsistent, if so, is it due to there being no supporters at the grounds?
I really am confused as to why United are where they are.

I have no limits when it comes to gambling.

Can you recommend me a bitter Malbec??

Sadly red wine is not my drink, not football related it just isn't my drink. However, I believe something around the £3 mark should be suitably eye watering ?

We've been crap. This backs to the wall stuff is fine against City and Chelsea, but Palace? No, they'll do you with a set piece like they have done. We needed to get hold of the flipping ball and control the game. Absolutely woeful performance.
