Match Thread Everton 3-3 Manchester City Monday 4th May 20.00

[MACCA75]

We are involved in so many injury time goals, both for and against. It’s like we go into a complete blind panic, players do things they haven’t done all game. Composure goes completely.

 

[riddick]

I can’t dog us for the way that finished, that happens

If we had that attitude 1st half we’d have won comfortably

Can we stop over planning for teams and just go after them

Not with Moyes. He'll be as cautious as he can and, than, when it's USUALLY too late, make subs that change nothing. Let's be honest, if he never subbed in Barry would Beto have done just about the same thing?

I just re-watched the final 6 minutes and they were terrible from our perspective. Barry had two opportunities to kick the ball to the corner and chase it. City had a really high line and making them run backwards would have wasted time even if we don't retain the ball. He lost it in bad areas instead. The final attack also comes from a terrible decision by Alcaraz. For some unknown reason he decides to head the ball back into the middle of the field. If he heads it to the corner for a City throw we win that game, the ref would have blown.

As soon as Alcaraz headed that ball I just knew what was coming. Absolutely dreadful decision.

Rohl I believe showed he is not a good defensive player. Rohl did show promise as an attacking player, showed pace and got lucky with the stray shot that fell into the path of Barry. If we can utilise our players better rather than putting all bets on the defensive side we could be a better team. Was impressed with Rohl's forward play but less so his defensive play

Maybe that's the reason he doesn't play every week. Had a decent game.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Bye the way
We have in any case just won Arsenal the league
They will win those remaining games and take the title

I’ve just seen whose arsenal’s next three games are

Just give them the title

Get the bus ready

Yip, we just helped Arteta get one step closer to one of his wildest dreams…

He’s the 10. Moyes wouldn’t talk about his “athleticism” if he saw him further back. He’s tall and fast and would score goals in many teams

Letting them score directly from kickoff after 3-1 is the most Everton thing I've ever seen and completely unforgivable. Fuming

 

[Vaughan]

is it childish to say this is getting unfair

Yet Moyes will continue to play Keane and Tarkowski together. We jave conceded a few like that straight through the middle when they have played together.

HAS to be one of them alongside JOB for the last three games.

 

[Miked1e]

Devastated again……

Last 2 home games have been a killer

 

[Vaughan]

iro and rohl have to keep playing

hopefully gueye has a bad one, sorry but its unfair that our class players get hurt for ages and our annoying pet favourites who are crap are always fine

 

[Jacko93]

He was in front of Guehi and offside when the initial ball was played but then the second phase begins when Guehi has control of the ball and plays a poor back pass and Barry nips in and scores so we got a VAR decision in our favour for once is the upshot.

Doku was diving and Silva got away with a ridiculous shirt pull on Rohl as well.

Also, when Ndiaye was through, Haaland had a full fist of his shirt.

 

[Voodoo Billy]

Nobody even mentioned the injury time? As far as I am concerned as soon as that corner comes in and it’s defended towards the edge of our box it’s game over. There’s no way that 3rd goal should be allowed.

Someone should let Dickie Masters and his Sky / TNT paymasters that Michael Oliver did all that he could to keep the title race rolling along towards that final day. Shame that plucky old Everton didn't follow the script as they should have but Michael did his best for you and your 'product' Dickie.

 

[FinnTrikker]

Their 2nd was the killer,really was pathetic defending form the kick off,one cb facing the wrong way,the other turning as fast as milk left out of the fridge,doesn't seem to matter when we face Haarland,he will always find a way to score against us.
Calmed down a bit now after witnessing the third game on the run conceding in time added on,exposes are weak mentality and total lack of game management.

 

[Bkk Andy]

So in the last 3 games we've conceded injury time goals to drop points, relegated West Ham, won Arsenal the title and knocked ourselves out of Europe without winning a game. Footy, eh?
