Match Thread Everton v Manchester City - Team Prediction, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Yorkiebars89]

James garner was class tonight penalty was a joke of a decision and 3rd goal 100% preventable. The first one pickford takes two steps to his right to be able to see the ball better but again probably preventable thought we were decent but as someone's already said you need to have some slices of luck against them which doesn't happen often

Pen sorted them right out, all I’m saying is we wouldn’t have had that pen in the same situation

Wolves managed by Gary O'Neil

Guess who we got next? They warmed up with a 4-1 win at Brentford....

City now won their last 8 trips to Goodison, sad days these, I remember when the matches against the big 3 northwest rivals of United,City and RS were always close affairs with us winning a few now and again.

Difference is we're taking on multi billion £ countries now, rather than teams.

Good job FFP is here to protect everyone...

Well and truly schooled tonight. No shame as City are streets ahead but we did help them.

The narrowness of the set up made it easy to exploit. Dyche did realise this and was about to make the subs but city got the pen before the subs.

Pickford............had a stinker tonight. Should have done better with the punch and the gift of a so called clearance. Possibly the Foden shot shouldn't have beaten him??

Not going to slate him too much as he has saved us so many times in the past but still think he has to calm down a bit.

 

[BLUESTEVE]

Need defenders with no arms under these rules.

 

[dannyboy]

In fairness, it took a sublime strike and a terrible handball rule for them to win.

It wasn’t run of the mill.

I felt it was very much coming anyway even if they didn't get the pen. Going into it I thought it was a night where we could really get after them but it neve went like that at all.

We had that chance but got a fraud of an owner.

Brentford had only won one of their previous 6 before tonight, they’re badly out of form

 

[PhilEFC]

Had a good go there. They are good enough without any help from the ref.

Pressed wow instead of like .

You ever you know not anti Everton?

 

[TheBigIguana]

The penalty call you can freely disagree with, but the decision as made was a completely reasonable one and screaming corruption on something like that is really self defeating.

The ref isn’t changing his mind because of City players he’s asking his assistant which is imo pretty easy to see if you watch the video.

It sucks, there are maybe some days we get away with it, but today we didn’t. Move on.

 

[Baileys perm]

Exactly this, if ever proof was needed,
We don’t get the penalty and the league apparently is not corrupt as we got an official apology

We had a spell in the first half, where we got a goal and could’ve pushed on.

But on balance, I thought we gave it a decent crack.
