Good ball Alex. Just can’t get a break in those scramble situations

 

[MikeH72]

What the hell is Maupay doing ducking out of things? The fella looks like he’s actively avoiding trying to score a goal.

Only one booking. No fight this afternoon from the players. These City players would deffo have the Madrid game in the back of their minds. A few physical challenges would have them thinking about it even more. But we haven’t shown anything.

Most of our players are too clumsy to put in a tasty challenge without getting booked

 

[PhilRegan]

Sheer blind wishful thinking

Sounds like how the clubs ran to be fair mate

 

[carolinablue232]

Change in style of play more of no10 now rather box to box in fist half and Brighton can't use his strength and pace

Was more a comment of his touch being that of a cinder block

You can say Leeds were lucky against these but they stayed in the game enough to put pressure on them at the end, gave them 10 times the game we have...

We just folded like a deck of cards

That's why we are where we are. No leaders.

That lack of on-field leadership is also why we continually implode having conceded.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

City have another gear or 3. Wouldn't be surprised to see them get a 4th.

Just toying with us.

Think it was also the negativity from the manager.

We just folded like a deck of cards

They scored three high quality goals and since then we’ve had the better chances as they took their foot off the gas just like against Leeds

Hinchcliffe couldn't get his tongue any further up Haalands backside if he tried

Equally there’s no point in risking red cards against these.
Thought we were fighting for everything earlier.
Both teams are happy to play it out now for different reasons

 

[Milk]

You'd be wrong.

Yeah but Pickford barrel roll over Haarland about summed him up as the clown he is.
Makes some great saves but his historonics peck my head

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Praying that DCL and Garner are okay.. but this is Everton so

 

[GraemeS1980]

Look, I’m the most deluded of blues and think we can win every game including this one. But in the cold light of day these are probably the best at this game in Europe if not the world, light years ahead of us and 17 other teams in the Prem
