Tricky Toffee Puddings

The blue part of Liverpool proved a little tricky to over power at first, but were eventually shown to be puddings.

Today's game started with the Goodyear Inflatable hovering overhead, but there were no inflated egos on display from City today in a workman like display.

Everton were always going to be difficult to break down and their well organised back four, man to man marking of David Silva and robust approach certainly frustrated City.

Moyes, the master tactician, obviously thought that if he was able to stifle Silva then City's midfield would stutter. The strategy worked to some degree.

City dominated possession, "reducing" tackles went in on Silva and Tim Howard kept our attack at bay.

It was a frustrating encounter at times, but Nasri stepped up and Silva was eventually too much to handle.

It took the introduction of Balotelli to break the deadlock. He scored just as Cahill who had injured himself in a bad challenge for which he got booked was making his way past us. Boom, lovely.

Then we stroked the ball nicely, Silva coming close and hitting the post within seconds of Mario giving us the lead.

As Mancini locked thing down by introducing Milner, it proved another excellent substitution as Milner tucked away our second to make 2-0 and a miserable visit to the Etihad stadium for the toffees.
