He needs a move at the end of the season.
He’s had periods where he looks top drawer,but has too many bang average periods.

I feel for him as he seems desperate to perform and that's killing his game. I agree he needs a move. I'm not sure he'll want that but just reset somewhere new and find his flow again. No way can his career continue to nose dive. He's too good. Form is temporary and all that.

As for all this rubbish again about City fans not showing up. Seriously who gives a flying fig? Do I look at attendances for any other team? Nope. Not on my radar. Get a life I say.

It was a strange passage of play, the ref had his hand to his ear them made a gesture which both sides thought was a Penalty, Everton fans “celebrating”… turns out to be a goal kick! Cue reverse of fans celebrating… I just assumed the ball was already out of play before the handball

Not sure us scoring 2 minutes earlier from a penalty would of changed the result tbf.

I got done by 1 goal today......Wolverhampton Wanderers finding another way to let me down.

Lots of talk on the City sites about Foden.
Tashyboys view. I honestly don’t know where he would fit in a future City team.There was talk that when KDB went he would step into his shoes. Not a cat in hells chance. The city team has changed with Doku, Semenyo and Cherki coming in. I have said this for a while. Foden has turned into Grealish and it has nothing to do with Pep.

Are there rumours of something going on away from the club? He doesn't seem right.

Not even a chance to cash out with spurs scoring late.
Nowt worse than 1 letting you down.
Hull have done me a few times recently.
So hard this season to get a win Acca up,that’s why I just went BTTS today.

I think I've lost by 1 goal at least 3 times now this season. I'd rather get 0.

I was watching my Bet 365 and it said VAR check for Everton pen.
That didn’t get given
I nearly cashed out

Can’t help but think Rochdale fans have themselves to blame. If they hadn’t invaded the pitch would’ve been much less injury time for York to get a goal.

Ave not heard anything at all, his loss of form is mystifying

Some huge wins to be had today! A lot of the sides chasing the play offs in various leagues won.

I wonder if the Plymouth game spooked a lot of people into early cash ins.

He's just been massively overrated imo, looked great in an amazing team but lose a few quality players around him and he's left exposed.

How that’s not a pen amazes me.

So grappling is ok now according to VAR.
As Moyes said “ only one player grappling”

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Looks like that’s the last time we see Salah in the Prem - gutting that it’s due to an injury

I've just seen it now on motd. That's a nailed on penalty . He flicks the ball away with his hand. I'm not sure how var can dismiss that

Far be it from me to think Everton deserve a pen but that is an absolute travesty. The clearest handball all season. I can’t, for the life of me, understand why it isn’t given.

And then he gave a goal kick after he asks VAR if it was a pen and they say accidental.

He has always been good, but great . he dropped in well with KDB and silva (David). And even now he has similar players in Silva (Bernie) and Cherki. Rodri has more or less sat in behind for an age. But yesterday’s game was a classic example of old and new City. Slow and fast City. The first half was the old City that looked lost. Kovacic, Foden and Reijnders just kept it slow. Full backs not able to go past players. Foden was central to that being slow. He has gone all Grealish unable to go past players.
Second half, Doku and Silvinho came on and changed the game. When Foden had gone off.
That said, they were playing Southampton and I was massively impressed. They were well organised, better than some established teams that are battling relegation in the Prem. They sat back and hit on the break which is the way to beat City. That said it was a game for Foden to get back some confidence, am not sure it would have helped having seen his performance. Credit to Pep for letting him have a go, but I don’t think City fans would be surprised if he left in the summer along with Stones, Ake, Kovacic and Bernado. Freeing that lot up helps to bring in Anderson.
