Everton played better than us whole of 2nd half tbh They had more ball than they did in first half, but no one played better than anyone as it was a very bad 2nd half for both sides. Doubt anyone would be happy to play a half like that.

Ace, really don't want to see those cunts winning it. Most detestable team in the league along with Stoke and Bruceland.

He was told to do his job, not to be excellent How do you know what he was told? Why do you have to be a douche most of the time? Seriously, why can't you just limit your posting to the good stuff you actually post when you try?

Unlucky on the lad, had an ok game. Nothing spectacular but tried when he could. If he and Obertan are out I hope to see Tiote Cabaye Guthrie HBA/BA Best Jonas/Ba Need to pack that midfield. Jonas would help defensively, but there's no point in going to Manchester and play negative as you'll only lose. With BenArfa-Best-Ba i can see us maybe getting a goal or so and surprising them.

Lee Cattermole is a joke off a footballer, nothing he does can be considered good.

If Norwich draws this then full creds to them to come back from 3-1 to 3-3 in two straight games.

1878 wants to know how our lot is 2nd after playing shit and yet being better than them over 90 minutes? How bad are Everton then?

Not really no. He was "selfish" in one occasion when he could have pass the ball to Ba. But the pass was complicated to do, so he kept the ball and searched a better position to give it. He lost it yes but it was well tried. Agreed. Was more promising today, a bit like against Wigan but didn't get the ball enough. Still think that he needs to look for the pass faster, but he'll soon be there.

We weren't good, but Everton were horrible. Haven't seen such a bad Everton side play us for a long time.

Agreed with all. Tempted to give Cabaye 6,5.

MoTM. Tiote Cabaye - Guthrie to win that midfield battle against City.

With the confidence this high, I think that maybe we should go with a 4-3-3 against City and pack the midfield against City with Guthrie and Cabaye infront of Tiote. Play HBA and Ba behind Best. Pack that midfield. Great 3 points!

Needs to pass the ball at times at a faster rate, but showed the quality he has with the ball at his feet.

f***ing bullshit. Now its Perch in too if Guthrie can't play on. And he's on.

Last 10 minutes he's been great, but was invisible first 15 in this half.

Bump up the midfield with Hatem? Not like he'll be tracking back a lot.

5 more minutes before Ben Arfa gets on. Think he's tired of waiting. Fucking love just seeing Hatem.

Gosling winning a lot in that midfield. Guthries lost however.

Jonas not looking bright today.

Nervous as fuck now. Yet they haven't been any better than us this half tbh. Both teams playing fairly shit.

How can Sammy play instead of Ben Arfa. Fucking ridiculous sub in my opinion.

I believe in us winning this. Think brining Ben Arfa in would give us a new dimension by putting the ball on the ground and passing it around.

Don't really think Marveaux looks that good on the left. Especially with Simpson never overlapping him.

Cabaye poor? It must be me, but felt we won every ball in midfield. Thought they got the better when cutting inside from the flanks rather then through the middle.
