Match Thread Everton v Manchester City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll.

Hang on, they really comparing Haaland’s goals in all competitions to Dixie’s 60 league goals now?

No the narrative has been he’s not far off the supposed 63 Dixie scored, reality it was in the 80s, but he’s way off the 60 league

 

[wellillwill]

Should take off Holgate and just play Dwight there. He's actually comfortable in the LB Position.

But Iwobi tracks back

Iwobi has been poor today, passing is awful. Gray on is a good shout but Sean won’t change anything

 

[ForeverEverton]

We had people saying five points from the four games would be safety and none of our rivals have had a big win so why do we now need 9 from the 4?

Because we are only 1 point outside the zone and Leeds have West Ham and Spurs, West Ham and Spurs by far the easier run in, they are done already, there`ll not be any fight put up from them 2..

 

[Mashtray]

Bit we have spent half that

Not remotely comparable in terms of the players we can attract

But yes we've wasted alot

 

[MikeH72]

Holgate has to go off, don’t care who for.

 

[mistuhp]

tarwoski ball watching there. no idea where haaland was which was school boy effort . holgate eaten up by haaland .

It's really weird, if you watched last year's relegation rivals down the stretch, a lot of the goals given up by Burnley specifically came from Tarkowski being unable/unwilling to track runners or stay even with his back line, and here he just straight up ignores that Haaland is running straight down the middle while he is marking nobody else, but somehow the narrative is that somebody else is always at fault.

 

[Fansince1988]

Dyche had to change this Holgate is struggling don’t know who else can play there though

 

[PhilRegan]

Unbelievably good goal from Gundogan though. Couldn't have saved that for another week?

Dreadful dreadful defending though

 

[mikel_88]

Really cr@p defending for both goals. Midfield and dom were doing really well until our fart brain defence switched off.

Cant do anything with first lucky touch fell perfect for him second we juat got caught out. Been ok for me just a quality team

 

[Jamiednm]

Dyche just needs to tell the players to ‘take the game away from City by scoring 3 quick-fire goals at the start of the second half then close out the rest of the game’. Pretty simple.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Get in at half time no more damage done please

 

[DanEFC92]

Obvious gulf in class. But we have been poor.

 

[Izzy1878]

Keep the GD down... 5-0 here puts us on the same GD as Leeds.

 

[Ring master]

That 1st 35mins before City even had a 1st shot we had done so well defending, then typical Everton when we let one in, usually a 2nd follows quickly
