Match Thread Everton v Manchester City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Let’s get this right...

If City had their shooting boots on today it would have been 1-6.

We are crap.

How about 6-6 we've missed a lot of chances to

THE LEAGUE TABLE DOES NOT LIE.

RELEGATION BATTLE

Bye Bye frank

 

[ToffeeTim]

Hate watching this team.

Not once do they give us a good day when it still matters.

City a no mark club and it will be great to see when they return to the doldrums where they belong with their empty stadium

 

[Saaby]

People will probably say this is harsh but for the minutes Davies has been on, it reaffirms why Davies will never be a pl midfielder.

 

[D410]

Coleman best player for us today.

 

[Frang]

I honestly don't see what anyone else expects from a team that hasn't got a seasoned striker in the squad.
Like a real one that has got at least 50 career goal to his name.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Bit more passion today, still was too easy for City to cut through us, defensively solid and piss poor at times.

 

[Azza]

Decent performance is meaningless to me when you miss loads of chances and get beat 3 - 1 regardless of playing the league champions.

This. I'm really really pleased there was more effort today.

But the chances we had and missed are just criminal. It doesn't matter who the opposition is, really poor.

 

[mahermi1]

Well played Kean unlucky

 

[Bluerover]

Always vulnerable on the break. Typical that the pingball around the 6 yard box falls for City. If that was at the other end we would never have scored.

However I am a firm believer that a team makes its own luck.

Some more hope from today's performance, but we need to put a run of good wins together quickly and get away from the bottom.

Unfortunately the next few games are going to include matches against the rest of the top 5.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Other than being instrumental in us scoring and playing in Sigurdsson for a 1v1 that he messed up he hasn't done much

A broken clock is right twice a day. (Like yourself)
I think he’d looked cumbersome since he was subbed on (before being subbed off) and it’s defensively and players doing their job tracking etc that we’ve had problems but sure he’s instrumental

 

[TheBigIguana]

The problem is this type of attacking play will go away when we play Burnley. City pressing means space opens up in the middle. Burnley won't and we will keep playing the easy pass wide and never threaten.

Going by our performance today and our recent ones against the lesser lights in the league, we're more likely to pick up points against the bigger sides.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Davies looking to pass it forward every time. If only he was better than Schneiderlin defensively.

 

[Eggs]

...want and need more from Sigurdsson.
