Match Thread Man City 2-0 Everton, Sat, 18/10, 3.00 pm

[Huyton Layne]

Tarkowski 100% on that one.

Runs away from Haaland, get megged and blocks Pickford's view

Also lost his ability to jump as he no longer wins diagonal balls from free kicks.

 

[Zatara]

No changes....mad.

 

[jazzy]

Haaland is the best striker I've ever seen play.

Honestly if we had him in our team we would be top 4. That's how good he is and , as a team how close we are to challenging.

Sadly without a striker ( and we don't have one ) we will achieve nothing.

 

[DualityNSNO]

It’s not a penalty in the PL. Every other league on Earth it is.

It’s not a pen against city for sure

 

[dannyboy]

Obviously City are a very good side but they aren't at the level of previous years. Just feels like a bit of empty performance. Done alright but never really felt like we were gonna cause them any real problems.

 

[matty1878]

Ermmm yeah it is. Useless Beto ?

no mate it’s not useless he was the right man to start

 

[Frenk]

frustrating that we have a Beto and Barry.

 

[Mikey O]

Centre forwards are the difference

 

[MACCA75]

Was expecting it obviously, but this run of not winning away at the ‘big 6’ (with fans in the ground) is just ridiculous.

 

[Bluerover]

Have Everton ever heard of Haarland?

....and Wolff? Samson and Goliath.

 

[Victus]

ah well

 

[PhilRegan]

Heads dropped now

 

[Rita_Poon]

Tim Iroegbunam
rohl

coming on

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Missed the pen shout, how egregious was it?

A lot of people will say it was nailed on. Didn’t think so myself, but if the ref had given it, doubt it would have been overturned either.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Second goal on pickford...terrible goalkeeping. You will not see donna making that type of mistake.

Bit harsh that imo, tarky was about 3 yards in front of him so he was unsighted, tarky couldn’t even get a block on it from 8 yards away never mind Pickford from 3
