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

[bag a yoko]

Maybe the best performance of the season against one of the best 3-4 teams in the world.

Way better than I expected.

Not too worried about relegation.

You know what lads, we deserved at least a point, we were robbed on the penalty and had more than held our own for most of the game. The good thing about it is, it may well be good for morale, the old us against the world thing.

If we show that kind of passion for the rest of the season we will be ok. A poor performance tonight would have left us on the floor, the performance we put in , against the champions, should serve to show the players they are far too good to be in this position. UTFT.

All the prem and sky want is their April 10th CityvRs blockbuster to remain relevant and competitive for their worldwide army of tele clapping subscribers.
The spice must flow at our cost today.

The handball rule is pretty subjective and there are lots of incidents where you can argue either way buuuuut, with the exception of actually catching the thing, that was as blatant as you can get.

And because Roman has called time on Chelsea no one will even discuss it.

its useless anyway. its a manchester team, they will always have these shitty things. Lets look ahead. Today, by all means, was very good for more than 80 minutes.

We didn't deserve that, fix.

 

[JammyP]

No disgrace in that, apart from the penalty decision. Lots to build on going forward

 

[Ring master]

Wonder what excuse the prem league will come up with as to why thats not given as a pen

 

[Mashtray]

Really shocked. Like really. This is one of the worst calls I've ever seen.

It will get talked about over and over and it will undoubtedly be seen as the wrong call.

But it should rock the premier league this decision

 

[Saint Domingo]

We’re at least 2 points better off in the last two games alone from fair refereeing.

Stevie Wonder saw that it was a pen. So did the VAR official.

 

[Street end man]

Bordering on sinister now how these decisions are going against us all the time. As pure a penalty as there can be that was.

 

[BigMick]

May as well just give us our championship fixtures if that’s how the officials are gonna treat us. That is one of the worst examples of corruption and bias in this league that I ever seen.

Up to 60 mins, DVB, Allan and Doucs put in one of the best midfield performances I’ve seen from Everton in a very long time. We were never going to be able to keep that intensity for 90 mins.

That was also one of Pickford’s best games for us since his first season. That double save was superb. Get him a proper centre half pairing!!

Should be coming off that point with a result tonight. Play like that going forward and we should be alright.

I'd only change one word of that: 'will' instead of the second 'should'.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Scandalous decision.

Deserved a draw for the attitude.

Keep it up blues.

 

[spudmuncher]

Exactly. Was hard lines, he'd been playing well all game.

Meant to be a premier league footballer and he can't shift his feet ... how many times has he cost us ...

 

[JammyP]

Who was on VAR duty?

Guardiola
