I thought Doku ran that ball clearly out of play yet the ref gave a corner, did I miss something?

Need to stop acting like the big 4 are still top teams. Stop showing them respect. They aren't good sides.

I don’t think we did that too much today tbh

We had a go, but Keane coming on ruined everything

 

[Mikey O]

Keane has always been a disaster waiting to happen shame the last 15 minutes have destroyed what was up until then a decent performance. Don't forget Branthwaite should have scored their goalkeeper made a save he didn't even know about. Tarkowski was the deciding factor when he went off. If he's not fit next week, then start a right back and try Obrien in his favoured position, who was excellent again today. Our subs never got into the game. But Mykolenko was excellent as we're Pickford, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Garner, Harrison and Gueye. Doucoure was okay, but the Broja experiment for me is over not good enough, was the worst player on the pitch. Mykolenko man of the match.

Spot on

Not one of the substitutions had any positive impact on the game

Ndiaye was far to long on the pitch and why taking of Gueye?

 

[Bkk Andy]

Both the crowd and the game lacked energy. Hopefully that was Keane's goodbye to Goodison appearance. With nothing to play for we should be seeing if JOB can play at centre half at this level and for Moyes to take a look at Patterson before the end of the season.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

hopefully next week obrien in at cb perfect chance try it out today with experience of young/coleman. Was in the game then felll apart nothing new lack of quality costing us

He'll start Keane there if Tarkowski unavailable.

The Michael Keane effect, ladies and gentleman.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Based on what ? Beto was crap today

He never had a chance, we were under pressure at that point. I'm not saying Beto is great but from what I've saw this season I'd take a fast Beto over a Sluggish Broja all day.

 

[lungo]

Maybe I'm missing something, but Garner just doesn't seem to do anything, bar play the role of the invisible man in most games.

Destroyer. Not to bad today but on the ball he is not useful.

JOB yes for sure. Not the other. Don't be daft.

Nothing we didn't know Tarks and Gana crucial to us, Keane is a calamity and we still badly lack cutting edge, pace and creation. City obviously have all three of the latter in abundance and their bench was the difference. Needs addressing in the summer..

I'm sure Moysie will see exactly that and sort it out. I'd like to see Soucek and Bowen come in for starters.

 

[ForeverEverton]

4 home wins all season.....

from 17. Goodison holds no fears for any PL team and is not the fortress we want it to be, more often they take something from us. Moyes has 2 in 8 attempts, Dyche has 2 from 9....

Sad way for this historic ground to finish, hopefully we can get 2 wins from the 2 that is left.

 

[matty1878]

the longer it went and we didn’t score i said they’d sucker punch us

 

[Bkk Andy]

JOB yes for sure. Not the other. Don't be daft.

You'd prefer to see if Young/Coleman warrant a squad place next season?

Got to. Keane plays we lose and concede lots. O'Brien CB and we have 3 other players that can play RB
