John Ruddy... oh wait...

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Jan Mucha is god awful. Talk we will be after Craig Gordon, which doesn't excite me too much.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

We were the better team, should have had a pen, and were held to a point. Where have heard that before?

 

[rizzo]

So frustrating, but given the first minute goal I had a feeling we were going to be smashed off the park. Great effort to get back a goal and we more than deserved the win. The positive is we are picking up points despite lacking that finish up front.

I think Big Kev is massive to our chances. Naismith is solid, gives you a bit of width and good defensively but he doesn't have the killer instinct of Kev.
Get Kev back and Jelly will find his touch again... Then we can watch the points roll in

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Not to mention Kev is dead sexy. He's pretty much the perfect man.

Baines will probably miss City with a hamstring too.

How that is a pen I will never know!!

An article doing the rounds..... Which I assume is rubbish.

An explanation for Nikica Jelavic's poor form has come in the form of a claim by the Daily Express that the Croatian striker "lambasted" his teammate Kevin Mirallas for being selfish during the Merseyside derby against Liverpool last month.
The report suggests that Jelavic has clashed with Mirallas before — it doesn't say when and offers no other supporting evidence for the claims — but this supposed rift between the Croatian and the Belgian was apparently raised on a City Talk discussion forum last week.
The paper also claims that Jelavic could hand in a transfer request and that Arsenal would be interested in signing him.
Greg O'Keeffe of the Liverpool Echo, meanwhile, claimed on Twitter earlier today that the story was untrue.
Indeed, the raising of the Arsenal angle makes this look like a cheap attempt to unsettle a player who, despite a recent dip in form, has been a huge success since arriving from Rangers in January.

 

[Norfolk & Clew]

How that is a pen? or isn't? Should definitely have been a penalty.

Content with the draw though.

Hopefully Mirallas will be back for Man City, who goes to left back? Oviedo? Baines is the biggest loss we could have.

 

[Sheeds]

Yep how was that not a pen I should say!
Looks like Gibson will also be ruled out along with Baines.

I can see Moyes going ultra defensive for this one, possibly playing both Heitinga and Hitz in defensive midfield roles.

 

[Norfolk & Clew]

I'd play Heitinga for Gibson, Hitz hasn't impressed me at all.

Wouldn't mind Barkley getting a run at some stage either.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Yeah that whole Jelavic/Mirallas thing seems to be rubbish.

Baines out sucks hard. Moyes will play Distin there, but I'd love to see Oviedo given a go. Maybe not for City though.

And why is Gibson going to be missing?!?

 

[Sheeds]

I was under the impression Gibson had picked up an injury againt Arsenal but maybe not.

There is as much chance as Lescott coming back to Everton as me waking up tommorrow morning with Jennifer Hawkins in my bed.

 

[moomba]

Moyes commenting publicly about another clubs player? Now I thought he was opposed to that sort of stuff.

Can't see Lescott leaving as that would leave us with only Kolo as backup central defender, and he'll be off to ACN in the new year.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Baines fit!! Come on you Blues, lets do something amazing tonight.

 

[BotsMaster]

Crock of ****ing shit that we're level with citeh.

Soft ****ing penalty!

 

[Norfolk & Clew]

Typical referee being intimidated by the 'bigger' team, soft but still technically there.

 

[____]

Such a silly penalty to give away

 

[rizzo]

Technically there.. You never see it paid though. Wouldnt be paid if that was Hammers v us

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Soft as **** penalty, really disappointing that that was given.

But still, a point is good.

 

[Norfolk & Clew]

Agree 100%, soft as ****. Those top teams get looked after ridiculously well by the officials.

Very happy with the point, they dominated that second half. Will always take a point against City.

Hope Mirallas is back for Tottenham

 

[Sheeds]

Will take the point but now we need to start picking up some wins desperately. 7 draws out of 9 is just not picking up enough points if you want to push for a top 4 spot.

A good result will be Mirallas back for us, and looks like Bale will be out for Spurs.

Not really backed up by the facts. Haven't seen the replay of this one yet but looked pretty clear cut to me, Fellaini looked to have a chunk of his shirt even as he went down.

Villa home we got a lucky one, not much from the refs apart from that.

 

[Sheeds]

He went down very very easily, but I guess Fellaini should not have given him the chance to do that by putting his arms around him.

Before the game I would have taken a point happily.

You deserved the point and maybe even more. Frustrating as hell that you guys can play like you do against strugglers, but like Brazil whenever you play us.

Disagree. If you watch our games this year we have been dominating teams. It has been sloppy defending that has cost us in more than half of our draws. We have been so dominant in matches at stages this year it has been outrageous.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Yeah don't get sucked in by 'Captain Patronising' Mancini, that was probably the first game all season we haven't completely bossed.

Luckily, it was also the first one that we defended extremely well in.
