City v Everton live

Scraped a win despite not playing up to our usual standard, that’s what the best of teams manage to do. Didn’t think it warranted the dire negativity from BS through the whole thread mind you....

Just a great turnaround and the hallmark of a very good side. Not playing well, struggling against a very organised Everton and found the character to grind out the win. Full praise for Rodgers because I couldn’t see how anyone could turn that around.

Serves Silva right for playing annoying negative tactics

Said a few times I’m surprised no teams have seen there are two ways to play us. Sit deep and use width to expose our attacking fullbacks, or target between the lines with only Ndidi for cover. Everton did the former today and it worked but I agree with BS, we were absolutely shocking in the final third and our passing poor. Tielemans really struggled.

The only thing worse than our build up play was Mina’s embarrassing dive! Credit to Rodgers for the sub though. Total change in formation and changed it.

There’s no room for that kind of negativity on here Mersey.

No negativity from me BS. Nobody can say we played well until the substitution. Yes Everton stifled is but that didn’t excuse the miss placed passes or laboured play.

No one can deny it was incredible after that and we were brilliant if not a tad open.

What a win. Loved that.

Totally agree Mersey and I said as much in the match thread (before getting criticised for doing so) A frustrating performance from us but what a turnaround!

Hope Everton play like that on Wednesday, they were up for it today and made it very difficult for us. Thought we played some excellent football at times, some really nice one touch play and got into some great positions but the final ball was lacking. Sign of a good side thought that, coming from behind and winning is always good but in a game that was so important for us to win shows the mentality of the players is top drawer.

I love the way the team weren’t celebrating the win as much as they were celebrating a team mate for his achievements.

The team spirit is back to its absolute best. Well done Rodgers, well done players.
