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

[bag a yoko]

Just seen 75/25 possession in favour of City

We're never going to try and control possession against Peps richest team on Earth.

I didnbt but it doesn't matter if it was or wasn't oliver thought it was to put his whistle to his lips an then changed his mind, this split second indecision had a knock on effect of indecision from us and ….. goal

The ref has the right to play advantage if he thinks it's the right thing to do whether he had his whistle to his mouth or not and I don't think it put us off defensively. I actually thought it was a good bit of refereeing.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Iwobi coming on though

Did a lovely sideways run before passing it to their player.

Joke of a player. Sell.

 

[T LEAFE]

No complaints with effort or application apart from Iwobi

 

[the golden visionary]

Rome wasnt built in a day and this team will not be built in a season. But we are headed in the right direction.

I thought we done ok,only time we were going to score was a set piece,Godfrey,Allan,Gomes all had decent games,Sigurdsson was anonymous,Id have taken him off,thought Oliver had a man crush on Fernandiho,was also very favourable to the rest of the City side,MOTM Godfrey for the tackle on Foden

Another trophy gone, but we played well and City were better and took their chances when arrived. Young goalie Virginia was very good. Should be a regular.

Give yourself a good shake man...season over my ars!! Europe to play for,prize money to play for CARLO TO PLAY FOR !!

Nah no chance of Europe. 9th or 10th. Vault me.

 

[Blue83]

Did well against the best team in the league by a mile until the last 10 minutes, can't really fault the effort and considering how well we've played at home in the last few games this was a massive improvement

Give yourself a good shake man...season over my ars!! Europe to play for,prize money to play for CARLO TO PLAY FOR !!

Hear Hear!
That's the spirit. We've just lost to the best football team in the world 2-0.
And we're in a transitional season despite which we're pushing the top four.
Onward and upward (as the actress said)!

I’m still looking forward to the next games, the transfer window and next season. A stark contrast to the last few years where you were wondering when this hell was going to end

Of course not. No surprise over the result 9r performance. Now for me, it's what we do between now and season end thats important now.

 

[toffeepie1878]

same old, at least Everton fans are used to these sorrows.

A decent performance and the keeper done well but until Everton replace dead wood they wont win anything - ANYTHING. Not enough quality, I am not happy to have Everton continually piss around winning nothing, nothing since the 90s

Another summer clear out is needed

Gbamin - needs to be replaced
Iwobi
Delph
Bernard
Coleman - past it
Sigs

Too many people here are wearing rose tinted glasses to see the dross in the side

 

[stretford blue]

Very well organised could not fault the effort but came up short in the end
