Match Thread Everton v Manchester City - Team Prediction, Match Report & MotM Poll

Worst part about losing this is having to listen to Dave talk about Luton playing like prime Madrid

This is such a massive overreaction and really unfair. First half we were excellent, second half much less so, but we were beaten by a much better team.

A team without Diaz, Stones, De Bryune and Haaland. Countless missed passes in possession by Everton throughout but particularly second half - poor by professional standards. To be fair four fantastic results and some excellent performances followed by a disgusting spawny defeat vs Tottenham and a poor performance was due - only the elite teams consistently perform to a high level mainly due to death of quality.

I'm a big fan of Dyche but the way he bows down to City is embarrassing. How many times has he beaten them as a manager?

City in the worst run of form they've been in for donkeys and they've turned up to Goodison and brushed us aside. Again.

Wasn’t really brushed, they had to work for it

City in the worst run of form they've been in for donkeys and they've turned up to Goodison and brushed us aside.. again. It bores me tbh.

City is city unfortunately

 

[PhilRegan]

Badly need a talisman type in this team

 

[Toffeelover]

BIG positive for me was our pressing game when we have it a go.
Slowly Mr Dyche is building a team worthy of the shirt

Too damn slowly

That little bubble we had has burst hasn't it .

To be fair, it was always very probable with these two fixtures… a win against wolves keeps us well on track.

Feel like we've crashed back down to earth since Fulham. A great December to start with now looks pretty average if I'm being honest..

Nah, you've crashed back down to earth. The team's fine.

 

[edge]

Pooh Poor subs.

And who was he supposed to bring on?

 

[zebedee]

What about the saves Pickford made throughout, ffs

1st half two good saves. 2nd half was shocking we needed to keep our heads including the keeper. 3rd goal summed his 2nd half performance. The ones he did make that half you expect your keeper to save them doesn't matter how fancy you make it look.

Thats great but you've totally ignored the fact they've played considerably better than they have recently. And that wasn't due to being given an easy ride because we didn't play badly. They reacted annoyingly well to the setback and upped their game accordingly. It happens.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Second half, Pep got Grealish and Silva to stay really wide and flood forward underneath them. We needed our midfielders to get across and help but we hadn't the legs out there.

 

[Frenk]

I don’t think the bubble has burst, Spurs and city were always going to be hard. I wasn’t expecting much from them both. Overall not bad. Doucs is back, so onwards and upwards.

 

[allen]

That little bubble we had has burst hasn't it .

I don’t think much changes within the squad, to be honest.

Dyche is a very even-keeled manager. He’ll keep them calm and keep them delivering more of the same.
