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

[Cels]

The rest of this limited footballing team doesn't deserve two players like Ndiaye and KDH.

What about Garner? Doesn't he get elevated to a high-ranking fruit? Maybe a nice sweet grape or lychee?

Thought I'd put this in here as well as the VAR thread.

Club put out a statement about the one racist but won’t put out a statement calling out the referees adding more time on against Liverpool and city and no pens against West Ham or city. Wish we stood up for ourselves for once.

Thats on Tim, awful give away

He seems to have a talent for winning the ball back well and then giving it straight back in an even more dangerous position.

Moyes didn't miss Illy's hat-trick of chances.

No disagreement. The one thing they cannot do there under any circumstances is lose Haaland.

I believe mental strength is as important or moreso than physical. It's what separates the merely very good from the elite. It's also susceptible to fatigue, which is what we're seeing here in stoppage time.



I get it. Of course i'm not blaming anyone for being disappointed. Just being honest about my reaction, and I'm probably in the minority.

Felt like we traded punches with the best and came out even despite having been mostly second best on the day. As opposed to the derby, where a couple of once-elite players well past their prime took advantage of our weaknesses, on a day where we were the better side and poised to win. I really was curled up into a fetal ball after the derby. I walked away from this one with a sort of grim satisfaction, feeling like we survived, not without fault but with honor, and I think it's more than just the difference between one point and none.

We mustn't forget they gifted us two goals .

This is the thing. We got 2 presents and scored a header from a corner. Our lack of goals is a real problem, as it has been for a few years now, and must be addressed in the summer. We need a lot more pace, and more goals in the team if we going to make any progress.

 

[Bob Latchford]

winners, not goals, so we haven't popped that cherry yet.

We’ll get there!!

 

[Cameron Manning]

First game in too long. First comment here probably in same length of time as a guest... Co'mon you blues.
Scrappy 3.2 win

So near and yet so far! Can you give me six numbers for tonight’s lottery? Please

 

[Bob Latchford]

Is there anything in there about 3 in a row suspect pen denials?

We do seem to come up short when it comes to getting the rub of the green…. Ffs

 

[Bob Latchford]

Remember when we got 3 minutes at Anfield? Corrupt to the core!

Yeah, the added on time scenario doesn’t seem Everton friendly!

Interesting my son, could be a whole new way of squad analysis.
From dragon fruits to the packs of wonky berries with fur all over them, we've got the lot.

God bless.

​

How can they say the ball is not in play when it's obviously in the corner quadrant and the Everton player is about to cross it, the ball is on the pitch.
Their new centre half also wraps his arms round Tarks as well.
Terrible decision from a terrible rule from a terrible house Ref

 

[Caso01]

Think I’m over it now.
I’ve noticed I’m starting to get over these things a lot quicker than in the past.
Maybe it’s because I’m 50 or because every game now no longer has the entire world on it like previous seasons
The young lad sat in the row in front of me crying and trying his best not to let his dad see nearly brought a tear to my eye though.

 

[RomanReigns]

now that i've had time to digest everything, this game is probably in my top 5 in recent history

it was a great game, just shame what happened at the end
