Match Thread Everton v Man City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Milkman]

Well played boys. A defeat with no losers.

 

[Mashtray]

We all know it's not a fair reflection, the important thing is, we know

 

[Toffe3m4n]

This. Watford will be a lot better than I thought based on tonight

Now hold on just a second.....

 

[KaiserEFC]

Must be nice being that happy as fans. When do we get a piece of that

 

[john jako]

Kenny and Davies the two shining lights there.

DCL and Theo not good enough.

Gylfi added nothing when brought on.

That pass by Tosun to Richi was class.

 

[D410]

City not played well tonight.

Watford will give us a harder game.

 

[Mozza1987]

Thought we did alright then and possibly deserved something. We just lack quality as the fight was there. Set pieces again though. Walcott is awful and should never be starting again. Am I arsed we lost though. Not really

 

[Toffe3m4n]

State of our fans giving a standing ovation after that, haha.

At least they turned up mate.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

They were right to - that 4-3-3 before the subs (well, Sigurdsson) came on was working. He should stick with it and practice defending.

It's how he wants to play, but having Gomes and Gana as your 2 DMs is just awkward. Gomes is just a step slow and fouls too often. Good player, but not in that role I don't think.

 

[Real_madras]

Can we hire Moyes as a consultant and get him to drill them on defensive plays for a bit? Then Marco can have them for the passing stuff.

Not a bad shout, I doubt he'd take the job though. We should of got him last season instead of Big Sam.

 

[Khalekan]

Perfect result. 3 points to City and we weren't embarrassed.

Kopites livid.

The season starts on Saturday

 

[Efctrueblue]

Goals from balls into the box AGAIN. Shock!

Opposition goalie not having to get dirty either! And some of our fans are ‘happy’ with that performance. Please!!!

 

[Joey66]

Wasn’t too bad bad that.

Cue a barrage of not so subtle RS multis popping up

Disappointing with City playing in 3rd gear - good effort but again nothing upfront to worry City.....

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

Kenny played well, Davies did alright too as did Calvert-Lewin.
This was the only game of the season I was not gutted to see Everton lose.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Yesssss!

Yes what?
