City Toffee Thread

Wasn't great by Hart but in truth we didn't deserve much more from the game than we got. Very poor performance against a poor Everton side.

jovetic made dzeko look clinical

Everton are a bogey team and going to Goodison is never easy. Sloppy finishing.
If Bony comes in, Jovetic to be sold or go out on loan. No point in keeping him, because when he gets his chance in the team, he isnt delivering.
Cant see Hart being binned off. We keep Boyata, who is neither use nor ornament, just because he is "local". Especially as Milner looks like he is going in the summer.

Poor finishing - and some very sloppy passing when not under any pressure let us down today. Too many promising moves and build ups broke down because someone couldn't complete a fairly rudimentary pass. Both the two F's in the middle at fault at times (although they were otherwise pretty good). Silva was fantastic - but not enough of his team mates on the same wavelength.

Hart at fault for the goal, although I think we have to give Everton some credit for a very well delivered free kick. (And Hart saved our bacon with the earlier one handed save...)

Can anyone explain to me what the point of the late Kolarov for Nasri substitution was? Baffled me.

fed up with nasri losing the ball maybe or hoping he could nick something from a set piece

[Rowley Birkin QC]

I thought Nasri was all right. Far worse culprits on the pitch when it came to losing the ball.

[goat]

aye, at least nasri was losing it  from trying to force something and not from just being sloppy

[Victoria]

Hart is  overrated;i have always said this and today is no different. He got away with one as I don't think it was a foul

The flag went up for offside not the foul.

either way he messed it up

Why the hell did we buy Sinclair ?

[Ludo]

You could say the same about Navas.

Passing was bloody crap for most of the match!

I agree, the whole defence was at fault, but the free kick was a good one too!
There were a few occasions where a player got a head on the ball unchallenged.

I'm assuming he was there to unleash his left foot if we won a free kick or get more direct crosses in the box for Kun to run on to...
