One thing really annoyed me during that game. Why didn’t someone just sprint at Martinez whenever he was dillydallying over the ball!!??!!

 

[overkill]

Probably should of won this, but we would of lost this last season before Moyes

The fact we're annoyed about not beating villa does show some progress

Rohl looked alright for a debut, physically he looks like he might be able to replace what Dacoure gave us

 

[Frenk]

What was the point of buying Dibling

 

[ElGato]

Didnt watch but stats suggest we dominated?

Draw better than a loss, but not as good as a win

Cheers

 

[NorthernBlue]

Annoying one.

 

[Mr PEN86]

For missing how many open goals?

Quantify "open goal"?

 

[lieneverton]

Disappointing outcome. But, not unhappy with the performance as a whole.

 

[Fedlingen]

Meh, we never looked like putting it past Martinez, I'll take the draw. Right now, just happy we didn't find some stupid way to lose it.

Simon Hooper ruined the game for me. Once again, horrible officiating.

 

[Only-Blue-toffees]

Choite. We had more than enough quality to win this game just need to take some shots ffs. Ref didn’t help at all killed any flow and just gave them so many free kicks when it was the other way around or didn’t let the game play on. So frustrating but we’re bound to have games like this. Should have won but I’m happy with the start of the season

 

[dannyboy]

Really frustrating game. They aren't an easy team to play against and they dug in very well. One of those games where we probably just needed more quality in the full back position to give our wide players a bit more space.

A special mention for Hooper who gave absolutely everything to them when there was the slightest hint of a foul. This was not reciprocated for us.

Did he get on?

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Missed opportunity that, they were there for the taking. Poor not to bring Dibling and Alcaraz on too.

 

[Victus]

I mean we should have won but having 7 points on the board already is nice to see.

 

[Tony1985]

Just one of them isn’t it, better performance from Beto and we might have nicked something. Got to hand it to Mings though, played very well today.

The refs a Ming as well.

 

[Tipp blue]

Anyone else notice the commentator saying "Grealish is used to getting a free for that type of foul"? He shouldn't be it's either a free or it's not it shouldn't be acceptable that City get a free for that but Everton don't, the corruption is so great and accepted that commentators call it out in a round about way without even realizing it.
