Everton manager Sam Allardyce speaking to MOTD: "Manchester City are a top quality team, you have to admire a team that especially in the first half were too good for you. As much as the lads tried it was something we couldn't cope with.

"The real turning point was when we should've scored with Bolasie and gone 1-1 and they scored.

"It was very difficult when they scored, I thought Silva was offside for one of the goals but what can you do.

"We fought, battled, scored and tried to go until the very end. All their 11 are fantastic in that system and that's why they are so far ahead.

We organised a little, but the main message was 'If you're going to press, do it together, if you drop off, do it together.

"That was part of the trouble in the first half, where individual members of the front line pressed and with City's quality they can pass through you.

"We did as much as we could, tried as much as we could and I think that has been the same for every team bar Liverpool."

Simple though innit

I can't remember a manager we've had recently where we had such poor retention.

It's him.

Where? When?

Dreading next week because it'll be exactly the same again with the added bonus of Liverpool being more clinical than City.

The squad is totally unbalanced and lacking any player comfortable in possession apart from Rooney...who's legs are gone.

When you've got a team full of players brought in for specific "skills" and forgetting to bring in footballers, ball retention is going to be low.

Here's an idea: win the ball first. But he's played two snail like players today in CM and we had no chance of getting at them and stripping the ball away.

The feller is a 'kin duffer. It's down to him to drill these players he has got and choose the correct players for the game we face.

He's a calamity. How can you offer him any support? He's a moron in football terms.

We won the 2nd half purely because city couldn't be arsed anymore

Was busy today at work, and was looking forward to the match. But the minute I saw the CM "partnership" that was it for me.
