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

[Simo]

Its Everton Tommy, we'd be 2 up to Spurs in injury time and still find a way to balls it up and miss out on Europe.

9pts needed so let's see how we get on against Palace

Can we not see how we get on against palace and just finish the season please

 

[blindbert]

Dreadful 1st half
Great 2nd half effort
Lots of foot notes Branthwaite if fit would have have got Haaland for their 2nd
Done out of another pen
BUT we must learn the dark arts of seeing a game out I hate to see it out but 3 games now points dropped in last few minutes

Grealish would have helped with that, if he wasn't injured and inelligible!

 

[Jacko93]

Is it just me, or has our penalty shout been pretty much silenced. Felt like a huge decision to me at the game, and looked an absolute stonewaller, but its not been shown on a single highlight reel.

Got home at 1.30am. shattered this morning, however thoroughly enjoyed my trip! Legs are also killing from the 25k steps roaming around the city. Also deaf from the night before at sgt peppers lol. Shame about the result. But.......we didn't lose! Onward and upward (maybe).

That was my 2nd game this season, no losses so far.

 

[Marc bolan]

Letting them score directly from kickoff after 3-1 is the most Everton thing I've ever seen and completely unforgivable. Fuming

Reminded me of the Bournemouth 3-3 in someway

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

When?

My mistake, it was a 3 goal lead in December 1975 against Ipswich. 3-3 draw at Goodison.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Then give your opinion and dont be so condescending then

I gave my opinion. You didn't like it and came back with the insults. Take a trip.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I am very frustrated

 

[kev]

It could and should have been all 3 points, so of course we are all gutted that it wasn't, but just look back a day or two on this very thread and there were lids confidently predicting a 4 or 5 goal thrashing.
We came within seconds of what would have been a quite incredible 'come back' win against an opponent that has dominated this league in recent years.
I refuse to be down-hearted.
Onwards and upwards blue boys.

 

[Sharpies volley]

He was in front of Guehi and offside when the initial ball was played but then the second phase begins when Guehi has control of the ball and plays a poor back pass and Barry nips in and scores so we got a VAR decision in our favour for once is the upshot.

Doku was diving and Silva got away with a ridiculous shirt pull on Rohl as well.

Shirt pull is putting it mild mate. It was a rugby tackle.

I've woke up in the same rage and getting more angry that i went to sleep with. It's not a good point when your 3-1 up with 9mins plus Injury time left. It's 100% 2 points dropped

Unfortunately it will continue to happen and does continue to happen as we have in game management League 2 standard

Yep. Why concede late once when we can do it 4 games as quickly as we have. I use to always worry when we went 2up last season, now it's when we get to 90mins

It’s been silenced, they don’t want to highlight the corruption.

The talkshite crew this morning already saying it’s swings and roundabouts, nothing to see here - Keane was lucky to stay on so the Bernardo pen doesn’t count an Pickford got away with the foul at wham so that handball is cancelled out - big load of nonsense.

 

[maccavennie]

Yep. Why concede late once when we can do it 4 times as quickly as we have. I use to always worry when we went 2up last season, now it's when we get to 90mins

The 2 passages of play for their 2nd and 3rd goals are similar to how an u10s team.would set up.

From the kick off that passage was inexcusable

Then the 3rd goal we've got 3 players rushing for a ball when it needed just 1, then Alcaraz heads it inside when just a header down the line would have had the game sewn up. Garners half arsed attempt at a standing tackle on the half way line, to the inevitable corner and Patterson slipping and Alcaraz and Garner too slow to go and press the only player for them who looked like he could slot from distance.

It was laughable if it was anyone else but Everton
