Match Thread Everton 0-2 Man City. Sat April 19th. 3pm

Did OK for an hour

Last half hour we've been awful.

Really a bit of a collapse in all honesty.

Extremely soft goals and way too much respect shown to an average team. Need to stop going into these games with a lack of belief because these teams aren't that good.

We were doing fine until the injury to Tarks and went downhill from there.

O'Brien into the middle and no more chances for Keane

 

[Richard Alex]

Hate City. Bore the hell out of you all game.Their fans are knobs

 

[Toffeepot]

It’ll be interesting to see what the verdict is on Tarkowski’s injury. Absolutely need him back. And if not, Keane cannot see the pitch. Truly awful.

I missed the injury and sub, just came back in room to see keane's gimp face

Did it look bad?

 

[Steve EFC]

At least moyes has had the full Keane effect so he knows now…. Won’t make that decision again.

 

[jonnyg]

Subs lost us the game. Never seen a game where all 5 of them were this bad/anonymous.

We could probably have survived Keane coming on but taking Gueye off just let them run at us repeatedly.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

I mean, they are a stratospherically better team than us. The game was there to be nicked for sure. But I can’t really get “back to us being utter bleep…Moyes out he’s a bleeping dinosaur. Boooo”

I don’t know how some fans will cope when we are back challenging for Europe, or in cup finals again and occasionally lose to better teams on the day.

 

[Amokachi1995]

City were there for the taking. We crumbled after Tarkowski and then Gana went off.

 

[jamieni]

Or more importantly when Keane came on

He’s just so nervy and it is contagious. We looked comfortable with tarkowski there. Disappointing.

 

[HTCHERO]

Tim is not a dm. Not good enough.

He's not very good at anything. He looked ok when he first joined, but an average championship player at best.

 

[davek]

Awful 2nd half that. Their 2nd comes from a passage of play that should have been out goal kick. Keane ball watching for the first. That’s probably our worst performance since Moyes came back.

Nowhere near it. We've been tripe for loads of games.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

It’s fell apart since Tarky went off, I would have stuck Patterson on and put obrian in CB.
I thought this was a winnable game since they’ve been average all year, at least we’re safe, on to the next one.

Seems a bit mad not putting O’Brien to centre- half, in form player, calm on the ball, good with the ball at his feet, strange decision by Moyes to bring Keane on.

 

[Daytripper]

Safe to say we shouldn’t retain Broja and Keane.

 

[Rita_Poon]

city's subs told, they asked more questions as the game dragged on, we were out of ideas and legs and our subs didn't work as well as theirs.
quality showed.
their bench would start for us. we ran em for an hour, we didn't see it out.

 

[mossbankblue]

We simply couldn’t leave Goodison without a Keane comedy show

 

[Drico]

I understand needing to see Broja play to make a decision on him especially with nothing in jeopardy but if Beto starts I think we score and win.

There's no decision needed on Broja. He's not good enough.
