Match Thread Everton V Manchester City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Bohemian Toffee]

I wish we had just one of city’s players.

Knowing our luck we'd get Walker.

James really can't be arsed can he?

What’s your view on the actual performance?

 

[blueconverse]

Tbf these are fighting for league and cl titles. Everton are happy finishing midtable, using a stadium not yet agreed as an achievement and posting funny training videos.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Anyone expecting anything other than a loss was deluding themselves, the real issue here is our complete non performances against gash teams.

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Always expected to lose against this lot, which is exactly why you make sure you beat Fulham. Oh well.

Yep, this was always a “free hit” IMO.

 

[andy4efc]

We would all prefer three points over none obviously. I’m talking about this evening being an acceptable performance, Fulham and Newcastle were completely diabolical.

Maybe understandable tonight is a better word. Only those looking to argue will take it any other way then you clearly meant.

Fulham was unacceptable tactically and desire wise, tonight is understandable.

 

[matty1878]

Can we reality check this is the best team in the league

 

[DanEFC92]

Can't wait for the cup game.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Not been to Goodison then?

Yes, I’ve been to Goodison. Know plenty who are not looking forward to derby matches, good for you if you do

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Fulham was a bad performance but this is a different situation. We have battled and tried to counter when we could against a heavy possession team.

You stand out like a sore, sensible thumb

 

[d34noj]

Doucoure is awful. NEA.

 

[Cels]

Dave will be

 

[rochdaleblue]

Probably the easiest loss to take. If anything I'm annoyed we had a bit of hope at 1-1.

This City team is ridiculously good

Don’t know what odds they are for the quadruple, but they’ve got a chance.

 

[Melba Toast]

We were behind by then.

It was 2-1 and we were in it. Barely, but we were there. After the subs we fell off a cliff.
