Match Thread Everton 0-2 Man City. Sat April 19th. 3pm

[degsy]

We lost but who cares. The squad is severely limited.
Losing Tarkowski cost us the point - we need to replace Keane in the summer.

2-3 new players and we will be fighting for Europe next season,

you were doing quite well up till then

all praise due to THE MOYESIAH

I made my last visit to Goodison yesterday and I’m now glad it’s over as I found the whole atmosphere/experience a bit solemn before,during and after the game.

We made a detour to BMD pre-match and it was quite busy with a steady stream of blues and then parked up and walked along City Road to the ground. Lots of fans about but the noise and “crackle” I associate with big games at Goodison was not there and people seemed to be reflective and contemplative rather than raucous…almost in their own types of individual mourning.

We had a drink in Croft’s(the old supporters club) at the insistence of my son because of his earliest memories of going there with his Grandad. A very gloomy couple of pre-match pints and then onto our spec in the Lower Bullens right on the halfway line but the Park end goal partially obscured by a pillar.

The game changed on Tarkowski’s injury and City bringing Doku on who was so strong,direct and powerful in his running that instantly put us on the back foot.
I thought we might get a point but could not stem the tide in the last 15 minutes.

My final trip ended on a damp squib after bursting into my life in 1970-71 and experiencing the highs and lows of Everton’s fortunes in that period.
The dying embers of football at Goodison Park are still flickering occasionally but after yesterday the first match at BMD can’t come quick enough for me.

To Goodison Parkrepare to stand down as your service is nearly done.

If you've been sitting on the bench, and really looking at the game, and your not up with it?
If your 150 PL games in, you might not be looking so ready, you might be knowing I got this.
10min is not a 'cameo'

Tim Iro' was a make weight in the Dobbin PSR me to you, you to me fiddle - and it shows...in fact they were both make weights.
That was the whole point.

Charley is worth a go, but only if the price is very, very competitive, aka, cheap.

I couldn’t care less if it was Jesus himself who rose up from the centre circle at Goodison and jogged over to take City’s corner - we shouldn't be clapping opposition players taking corners, that includes ex-players but especially ones who play for the Manchester clubs.

If I go back far enough, opposition goalkeepers got applause as they jogged into the GSE goal at the start of the game or after half time. Every match that happened.
Then there was my Dad at a game against Blackpool in the early 60s saying to me: "watch that number 8 for Blackpool, lad. He's a great player." Turned out to be the best Everton player I've seen. We were more respectful back then.

Moyes's substitutions cost us the game. Simple.

Forced. I mean tarkowski did pull his hamstring. Its not like moyes went get stripped Michael. Im throwing you on lol
I mean we're a mid table side in reality. 3 months ago we were a bottom 4 side under the other fella.
I think with the current squad there is a certain point we can get to. we can go into some games we need everything to fall right on the day.
We're competing. But we havent got that touch of quality in areas.

I was one of those who clapped. I can't speak for anyone else, but De Bruyne has been a great of the PL and sometimes you've got to respect that.

I was at the game yesterday ( City fan ) and thought that's the difference between Everton fans and those across the park.
It was unusually quiet from your lot yesterday but the game wasn't the best tbf.
Anyway, that's me done at Goodison, good luck for next season.

Hello friendo.

One thing I can’t fathom from yesterday were the “you’re cheats and you know you are” chants.

I’m at a loss on that one. If anything the ref gave you loads more decisions.

This is not a fight, just a genuine pondering.

It was a bit of self deprecating humour mate regarding the whole charges thing.

 

[Griffin]

Why does Moyes keep putting Alcaraz on the wing? He’s wasted there. Play him behind Beto where he belongs.

Ah I see

 

[smileychap]

A future captain.

Haven't heard him speak yet but attitude and character on the pitch spot on.

It's strange, cos if that shower of pish from across the park do that the fawning media take over ....

 

[Verbal Kint]

If you think that after watching the first half then you have no idea. We were matching them until Keane came on

Stipid comment.

If you think we are close to City then you will be disappointed. We've improved and I fancy us to improve even more next year.

 

[Jeff Jones]

There's no decision needed on Broja. He's not good enough.

What did he do at Chelsea that made us bring him here?

He played so poorly we thought he might be our level.
