Just for the record.

This psychological block that our fans talk about when playing them nowadays I wonder why Man City didn't suffer this during United's 20 years of domination? City beat them 4-1 and 5-1 in Ferguson's early tenure and even managed a league double over them in 2007 before their Arab takeover. I simply think its about style of play, the same reason why we hold such a dire record against Arsenal (last week was the exception rather than the rule).

Because City have a better mentality than Everton? This is not about Man City, this is about Everton.

I know that but I was referring to why most derby games frequently have a less one sided outcome even where one team is always the underdog as we always are, even Sunderland rack up their share of wins against Newcastle. 1987 we last won the title so we were the best side in England yet in that calender year we managed to lose 3 times to the [Poor language removed]. Its got to be about style of play and ball retention.

Mind the language please.

I don't know how anyone could say it was close. Firmino should have had two or three on his own.

Lots of people on here were saying last night that we didn't deserve to lose.

I never said owt but to me, we were hemmed in our own half for practically the duration of that awful second period and I thought we got what we deserved.....sod all

The second half was Walter-esque.

For sure.

It's not just derbies though, Everton are notorious for bottling big games, cup matches etc. It's nothing to do with style of play.

Nothing is worse than last season 4-0.

Not a great performance. But Liverpool weren't great either.

Yet again, they didn't have to be, to beat us !

 

[Billefc]

Getting to the point were I feel we may as well gift wrap the six points to them at the beginning of the season to save us the torture of each game

I thought that's what we had been doing???

 

[strummer]

The 0 0 at goodison a couple of years ago was just as bad.don't think their keeper made a save in that game either. Our players gave it everything but just aren't good enough

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

I've been to the last twenty Derbies and only seen us win once.

 

[Ihaters]

I've been to the last twenty Derbies and only seen us win once.

I'm blaming you then

 

[Khalekan]

I've been to the last twenty Derbies and only seen us win once.

I feel your pain, buddy.

One win in twenty....I never even thought it was that bad

And we haven't won at The Pit this century.

 

[Zatara]

I haven't cried in about 15 years but I actually nearly did tonight. I've no idea why. Just sick. Sick and tired of this. It's pathetic and humilaiting and embarassing and just crap.

I had dental surgery booked yesterday, I watched the game again in the morning on repeat and it gave me such a headache i postponed the dentists until today...
