Other games (2024/25)

[Matt1892]

I rounded the weekend off with a visit to Old Trafford.
 

I didn’t get to see the famous waterfall, it must be how people feel when they go to Iceland and miss the Northern Lights.

 

On a serious note, I think their 3-4-3 has a lot of potential, it was interesting to see the amount of times they had a man over because of it but suffered from the players not really understanding what is required of them in and out of position.

 

That and Bournemouth work so hard out of possession to close down, a team with less work ethic would have been overran.

 

No new grounds to go to this year.

Saka out for a while.

Rob Elliot's Crawley on vs Birmingham right now.

I was really looking forward to sitting down and watching all the non-3pm kick-offs on boxing day, as I just lounge around eating all the leftovers, but I've just seen that the games are:

 

Man City Vs. Everton

Wolves Vs. Man United 

Liverpool Vs. Leicester 

 

Talk about a shit selection of games

Will be interesting to see whether Kovacic back can fix Man Citys midfield "crisis".

Everton seem like the prefect team for City to be playing right now, especially at home. Can't see anything but an easy Man City win.

I actually think playing a team with such a low block is going to be problematic for them, don't see them winning today

Thank fuck this is on Amazon, so I can mute Clive Tyldesley.

They've also kept 3 clean sheets in a row, with Arsenal and Chelsea back to back

 

They might not be great to watch but Dyche has them proper sorted defensively

[Big Geordie]

City hit the post in the first few minutes.

Agree, I thought the same. They can just play a very offensive side without having to worry too much, with players who can open up a tight defence. Would be shocked if they drop points again.

I think the problem for them has been defensively. They don't win the ball back as easily, and they aren't solid. As a result their attacking play has also been hurt. Everton will let them have the ball and play the game that they used to be so good at.

[Tiresias]

My everton mate messaged me to to say pep should be sacked if they concede, even if score 5 goals the other way should never happen

[Geordie Ahmed]

That's a lucky goal but they'll not complain

[El Prontonise]

1-0 city.

[Tiresias]

There we go

[Big Geordie]

Man City 1 Everton 0

[Geordie Ahmed]

Well worked but the deflection was lucky

[54]

Thats the best thing for this game that goal, it means Everton have to open up even a little bit
