Shearer9 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Wow. Can't really see that as a red card, even if it is petulant and deliberate. Well played Everton though, much much better on the night, the wheels are coming off at City, I bet they'll miss out on Europe completely with Spurs winning the League Cup.

1878 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Should have been a yellow rather than a red but still... what a snide little twat he is doing that. Not got much sympathy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Broon Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 By the way 1878, what was Everton's starting midfield lining up like? Is this how they played? Was it something like --------Neville Osman-Carsley-Pienaar --------Cahill ? ---------Neville---Carsley-------- Osman-------------------Pienaar --------------Cahill---------------- I'd like to see us play something similar: -------- Geremi - Faye -------- Milner ------------------ Duff/Zog ----------- Smith/Duff ---------- Owen/Martins Which is basically how we used to play pre Shearer under Keegan.

Guest Geordiesned Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Silly reaction but never a red card. Rob Styles will probably sight some "letter of the law" bollocks conveniently forgetting that he allowed Man City players to stand in a wall 6 yards away from a free kick in the first half. Styles is an odious little cunt very much in the Uriah "look at me" Rennie mould. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. Rob Styles was awful though, they've just showed the Richards handballs again, both of which were pens for me. On the second one, where he reached over his head, and Styles was looking over to the 4th official, who was probably 50 yards away at that point. Clueless, as was letting Vassell rush out for that freekick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingdawson Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Having just watched the match iv'e got a couple of observations i'll list: 1) Everton are such a solid team it's untrue. They defend and attack as a unit and it hardly looks like the opposition will ever score. 2) Yakubu is a 20 goal a season striker no matter what team he plays for. 3) I never got the facsination with Elano and after tonights performance, i dont think i ever will. Sure he scores the occasional screamer or makes the occasional great pass but he's simply not consistant enough. Arteta is 25 times the player Elano is tbh. 4) Phil Neville is one of the only players i know that always seems genuinly unhappy an opposition player has been sent off. 5) City need to go 4-4-2 and give Elano some extended time on the bench. I notice they dont really have a right winger and 4-4-2 wont really suit Hamann much but the formation Erickson is persisting with simply isn't working (not a knee-jerk as ive seen them contless times this season getting very very lucky with some of there wins) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most smug as well. kingdawson- you're spot on about Neville Had his head in his hands when Petrov went off. He's far too nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, like Arsenal and Man U now, there's so much movement it's very difficult to tie down how they actually play. But it was basically a 4-4-1-1 with two, relativity defensively minded central midfielders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Spectrum Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I've got a feeling City have been "found out". Yep. Beaten by a much better team. We came a long way very quicly, but we're not champions league material. Need more legs the ability to attack down the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovejoy Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 everton are a quality side now. very well balanced, they've got a good mixture of pace and are very good defensively, they also have people who can score all over the pitch. just shows you don't have to throw stupid amounts of money around to get success, they've built gradually and are strating to look very good. i echo nut's feelings that i wish we had been found out like city have! they are strating to look pretty average again, i think they need something in the middle, on the right 9buster bloodvessel's nee good) and another forward. no reason why they wont get them all in the summer though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Imagine being in a position where you miss out at home after a 2-1 win at Old Trafford to be 3 points off a top 6 spot? I think I'd be suicidal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Spectrum Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Imagine being in a position where for half the season you look like world beaters but you end up actually not that good. Its been a great season (2-1 you rag bastards!!!!!) but its always a little disappointing when you dont reach your potential. Still. I think I'll pull thru. Somehow. If there is one thing supporting Manchester City teaches its the meaning of the word disappointing. Hell hath no misery like watching us play at home last season.

Not on quite the same scale, but us last season - last team to lose in the country, 13 or 14 matches ubeaten, top six most of the time until we then hit a spell of 2 wins in 17 or whatever it was, then finish off with a 10 match unbeaten run. Football is just fucking annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
