Silly Mangler.

Lampard!

TCO must be a sad panda right about now.

How did Aguero not score then?

[Colly]

I have Aguero and Pelle in my Dream Team, and I dropped Lampard in the transfer window.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Aguero hasn't been very good today.

something something sore back something something carrying the team

Clichy finally scores his first goal for City. Took a while.

In Typical City fashion, Kompany comes off injured and we're down to 9.

  Four changes for the Toffees, with Leighton Baines, Gareth Barry, Muhamed Besic and Samuel Eto'o returning.

  Everton XI: Howard, Baines, Jagielka ©, Distin, Coleman, Barry, Besic, Eto'o, Barkley, Mirallas, Lukaku. Subs: Robles, Hibbert, McGeady, Atsu, Osman, Pienaar, Garbutt.

Nnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggghhhhhhhhh Bentaleb. I was happy while he was injured. Still, if he was swapped out for Lamela I'd be very happy with that team. Problem is, when Poch has dropped Lamela to the bench we've always looked horrible until he comes on.

So a miserable first hour to look forward to then...

I actually like City, I just find it funny when the ref screws them for your reactions

[Colly]

I only find it funny when the ref doesn't screw them and Hughes still reacts.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Gotta keep up the gimmick.

Yeah, I think both times he was brought on at the 45th minute. Happy for Soldado, but that midfield just doesn't look strong enough. I'm happy we've got two of our youth prospects in centre midfield, but it just doesn't fill me with confidence. That said, can't be too many teams in the Premier League who have three of their academy graduates starting. That's something that's nice to see.

[Baddar]

3 academy players starting? Sounds like Utd for most of this season...

City winning suits me just fine. We need to beat Stoke and then win at St Mary's next Monday night.

But ours seems to be out of choice instead of injuries/lack of cover

Yeah, it doesn't seem like something that never happens to me. I can imagine quite a few teams regularly field multiple graduates.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Bentaleb just passed the ball forwar.......Oh wait, we're attacking to the left.

[Colly]

Tickaboo.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Ugh going behind to an unstoppable screamer...just like against Hull. Boo.

[Ant]

Spurs haven't turned up yet. Great goal by Everton though

There we go

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Beautiful little dink from Eriksen with the follow-up. 1-1. That's a better response.

[Jimmy]

Great finish from Eriksen. Perfect from Poch as well, WHL responds to passion and him encouraging for more noise is spot on.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

If we make a change at half time then it needs to be Mason. His final ball hasn't been good today and he's not bossing the middle.
