you’re taking the mickey here aren’t you.
I haven’t watched it back yet, however at the time it looked as if Keane and Tarkowski weren’t aware we’d kicked off.
Tarky didn't his body position was facing the wrong way,and when he did turn he ran out right and created the gap for Haaland, shocking defending from an experienced player.
 
Shocking game management once again from us.
To not see out that win from 3-1 up with 6 minutes left is criminal.
I do worry that as a club we've always been soft - play too nice - follow all the rules - and end up with our fans getting kicked in the teeth from a variety of suicidal decisions.
Peter Reid , Bracewell, PAt VDH, Watson, Ratcliffe etc and most from the 80's would not have let this happen.
We do have winners - KDH is one for sure.
Some absolutely cruel twists of fate and bad luck have cost us again - but you really have to make your own luck.
I love Moyes but his late substitutions and selections for these have cost us again. Added to that we have brain dead payers who can't see the difference between running the clock down and going for their own personal glory.
It's what Everton do and have done for the last 40 years. Sickening.
 
City end seasons really strong generally... I am very proud of the team tonight. Don't forget Everton had to play the strongest squad in English football, Var and a dog of a ref. To even score 3 is a huge positive for us. Merlin finally got game time and deservedly so, Barry looked better and were still in a shout for Europe... Maybe. After the first half I thought we were in trouble... Points a good one tonight. X
 
That classic Everton blend of "brilliant one minute, calamitous the next" is enough to make anyone’s head spin.

Doku’s finishing was clinical, let’s be honest—deadly on the right, lights out on the left. Some will point the finger at the marking, and they aren't entirely wrong, but you’ve got to give the lad his dues. He doesn’t pull those out of the locker every week.

We fought back in the second half thanks to Marc Guéhi, only to pay him back by gifting them a goal straight after. Absolute shambles. Right from the kick-off, too—straight through the heart of the center-halves. One’s caught ball-watching and the other’s turning like a container ship. If Moyesey was still in the dugout, we’d be forced to endure that "partnership" until the end of time.

Ndiaye gets through clean three times and hits the keeper every single time. Not once did it cross his mind to square it to Barry. Then, to top it off, he tries to dance through the middle at the death instead of taking it to the corner flag. Some fans are saying if a £50m bid comes in, drive him there ourselves.

Merlin Röhl showed unbelievable pace getting forward. Reckon even Moyes was stunned, considering he probably sent him on just to shadow their left-back. Makes you wonder what the point of starting McNeil has been all this time.

Tim Iroegbunam looked decent in the second half—standard for a lad who’s had splinters in his backside from the bench and just needs some rhythm.

But the most soul-destroying bit? Conceding in the final minute three games on the bounce. Who do you even blame? That’s four points gone up in smoke over the last three matches. Small margins, but they hurt like hell.

Without those collapses, we’d be sitting pretty on 52 points with a +3 GD, neck-and-neck with Bournemouth for 6th.

Can’t blame ourselves, we’re just the ones suffering in the stands. The players gave it a go, so I won't hammer them too much. Let's just pin this one on the Gaffer then...

Three games left. Keep the faith, I suppose. COYB.
 
Okay then, ill bite whos this starting rb we could of gotten in on loan then?

I imagine youve got someone in mind seeing as you have such a bee in your bonnet for coleman being third choice rb cover.

Also are you this upset we brought in tom king as 3rd choice keeper cover?

My problem is O’Brien is not the answer, Patterson the same, so what do we have left? A ageing injury prone Coleman. What good is that?

Right back has been an issue for a while and you know it.

I don’t know who they could have brought in , I don’t work for the recruitment team and my knowledge of players isnt that extensive.

What I do know is it’s a problem , it’s there to see , it’s why so many raise it as a on going problem and retaining someone who doesn’t play, is ageing and injury prone isnt a positive for the team. In my opinion.

You even said loans cost money,of course they do, what was the point in saying that to me ?
 
When the ball is played through to Barry before Guehi has his brain fart he looked offside to me.

But Barry never touched it, nor made a real effort to effect the play. I've only seen it live though, and no replays, but my immediate reaction was no way was it offside.

That liner though, never raised his flag once in the first half, but couldn't wait in the second.

Again, not watched it over, but Doku diving like, double figures, right.
