[yakublue]

The manager took off a defender and stuck on 2 attackers.

lollollollollol

The guy has to be a wum

You've been nowhere on this forum when we've won and suddenly crawl back out ahead of the city game. Silent all the time we were winning then snake back out to put the knife in....top fan you

He doesnt go to Goodison good fan him

Poor from Koeman tactically there.

Couple of bad subs from Ron - gave up the middle.

Disagree, Ron knew we had to get a second and he made the subs accordingly, unfortunately we played like a bunch of scared school kids in their half, bar Dom who was absolutely brilliant.

I don't think it was the subs or change in formation that did us there, I literally thought that they were just far better than us even with 10. They are ridiculous going forward.

This. People, actually look for a moment at how much their attacking talent has cost them, they SHOULD be capable of tearing open teams despite only having 10 men. The guy who scored the equaliser from the bench cost 50 sodding million.

My Heart was on over load in the second half Jesus Christ everton!

45 mins @ 180 per minute at the age of 57 is not desirable. They'll see me off

Rooney just now: "we had a plan given to us to get men behind the ball and frustrate City"

Great. Just 'kin great.

Logging off here now because there's some things I'd like to say about the mentality of this manager and I'd best not.

Disgusted. Utterly disgusted.

We're still above your team though

I know, I wish we could sack him off and go back to Martinez, a 'manager' who would prefer to lose 5-3 than win 1-0.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Nothing will change until we believe we can actually win away to these teams.





Absolute pathetic second half.

Spot on mate, think some of our fans need to realise that as well.

 

[cromofo]

Lookman should've played.

 

[Everton_Gary]

Yeah ok......You have no understanding of football .......

Haha uh oh another world class FIFA manager I see.

A man up and you go and press for a second, you don't park the bus and invite the team down a man to attack. Maybe it's you sir who has no understanding of football...yep seems more likely.

The feeling of disappointment that we came away with a draw, away, at the home of a champions league team, one if the wealthiest on the planet, who have been rampantly buying up all the talent they can find around the world for a decade, makes me realise just how much we're improving.

Could have been a win. Could be a whole lot worse.

Good point as thought City were going to cruise this before the game. Keane and DCL especially impressed me. The game highlighted a lot of flaws though. There needs to a real out and out forward and think money needs to be spent here. And there is a lack of pace in the team which is highlighted why we struggled on the counter. If we had Lukaku or a fast striker/ focal point we could have finished this. Bolasie is a miss. The recruits have been good but think more pace is needed for sure offensively. Just can see the team getting low-scoring victories like game we saw against Stoke if more firepower is not added.

 

[Stutheblue]

I've calmed down now. Holgate had done well until that header. Why oh why! Calvert Lewin did well too. Ran all night. In the cold light of day you have to factor in who we were playing. Would have took 1-1 all day long. Just couldnt see it out.

finally. hope you never log on here again. I am so tired of your disgusting attitude.

 

[gerryandtheRedhaters]

Any side with anything about them would have won that game quite easily

I must have dreamt Burnley won at the Champions did I? Everyone has a bad display mate we've had 5 and not lost....just wait til it all clicks, half the team are new lads playing together.

 

[Blue83]

Holgate made one mistake, which unfortunately he seems to do regularly, and that was it......I thought it was a decent result against a far better team.......

The way we played letting them dominate possession it was only a matter of time for them to score, not fuming about Holgates mistake, fuming about the garbage performance in second half. Wouldn't be arsed if it were against 11 man City but we had the advantage and never used it and got schooled

 

[peteblue]

I don't think you can appeal a second yellow.

I thought that stupid rule was changed years ago, ah well.....cheating barstewards......

 

[ToffeeTim]

Frustrated and disappointed. One bad defensive error cost us dear but it is what it is. No damage done there tonight and we move on to the next game.
