Match Thread Everton 3-3 Manchester City Monday 4th May 20.00

Lad…we blew a 3-1 lead there is no getting around it I’m sorry

Is there any difference between blowing a lead or losing it? I'd be happy for some sort of definition.

I’ve just seen whose arsenal’s next three games are

Just give them the title

Get the bus ready

Getting a point against City would typically be amazing given the circumstances.

But considering what happened, an absolute gut punch to fold again in crunch time. The last month we have gifted a lot of points, and that will be the difference with europe.

Wonder what pep guardiola said to Pickford at the end there

He was definitely giving JP grief - it's what Guardiola does. Intimidation writ large. Thinks he's the second coming and has a god given right to win. Can't stand the hypocritical cheating fraud. Jordan was having none of his bollix though. Moyes should have chinned him.

It's all a self-defeating combo, players...manger. In the spirit of percentages (yuk-yuk Davey), I'd start with playing staff. It's 11 vs. 1 out there.

Rohl I believe showed he is not a good defensive player. Rohl did show promise as an attacking player, showed pace and got lucky with the stray shot that fell into the path of Barry. If we can utilise our players better rather than putting all bets on the defensive side we could be a better team. Was impressed with Rohl's forward play but less so his defensive play

We got what we deserved for immediately conceding after our third. I hate to say that, as 2nd half we were very good value for 3 points, but it's that weak mentality that will ultimately cost us Europe.

Also think work needs to be done on game management. There are times when we were playing the ball out and a big hoof was required. We are a work in progress and often lose the ball.

City fans celebrating like they'd scored a winner, then some of them singing since 1995 outside the ground when in reality they've probably just lost the title.

Probably something about two of the best goalies in the world and six conceded

 

[Bez2k2k]

Nobody even mentioned the injury time? As far as I am concerned as soon as that corner comes in and it’s defended towards the edge of our box it’s game over. There’s no way that 3rd goal should be allowed.

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Pros

3 goals and had a go

Noise from the equaliser on spine tingling

Cons

Still can't see games out

We still share a stadium with racist scum bags who boo a young lad when comes on.

Could it be it's more to do with him being a bad teat mate, rather than his race?

 

[Rita_Poon]

No offense, but your comms are causing havoc for those of us on delay...think about the little people. lol

What a bunch of weirdos, loads of them left after the third and came crawling back. We should have charged them the price of another tickets the classless twerps.

I just re-watched the final 6 minutes and they were terrible from our perspective. Barry had two opportunities to kick the ball to the corner and chase it. City had a really high line and making them run backwards would have wasted time even if we don't retain the ball. He lost it in bad areas instead. The final attack also comes from a terrible decision by Alcaraz. For some unknown reason he decides to head the ball back into the middle of the field. If he heads it to the corner for a City throw we win that game, the ref would have blown.
