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

Defeat nothing to do with Pickford. Look elsewhere to lay blame.

Great Watford passed us. Time to sign their coach again

 

[deipnosophist]

Just woke up...made up that we kept City to 3-1 (I expected worse).
And I guess Wolves are now proving themselves to be the new 'best of the rest'

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Fiddling round at the back is never a good idea, our centres were all over the place today...

 

[Blues Harp]

Sort the defence out Marco....what was all this messing around at the back? Shades of the brown shoe clown....hope not

 

[ilikecheese]

Had a while now to think about the game.

Still angry at how bad we were. Wilted at the slightest sign of pressure. Zero composure.

 

[witchdoc187]

Surprised we didn't win this. Not good enough. Marco out

 

[robbo1957]

Poor performance with a lack of heart. We looked beaten when we walked out. Totally different from Chelsea when the attitude was right. City are quality and didn't ecpect to win but want effort and commitment.
Don't think any of them deserved MOTM.

A poor performance yet we created three great chances.

If our finishing had been better all season, we're top four.

Everything was wrong at the back today, no communication, positional play all over the gaff, it needed one of our 3 centre halfs to get a grip of the other 2 and show a bit of leadership and sort it out, failure on all counts.

Never expected us to win. Did expect us to look like we belonged in the same league. We did not.

 

[Khalekan]

That last minute goal at The Pit has just sucked the whole life out of our season.

Both the players and the fans have gone into a funk of depression brought on by the fatalism of it all.

FWIW little Bernard was my MVP.

He works tirelessly and carries the ball forward.

Zouma and Keane were good, I thought......but the fact two small men scored from free headers in the box rules them out of the running for me.

A dismal day, a dismal game,


With one saving grace.....at least the RS are off the top

Teams generally look less assured when playing away to the best team in the league. They won't lose at home this season.

Indeed.

I said the other day in the lead up that today’s game had more of a “knife to a gunfight” feel to it than the game when Moyes made that comment.

And that’s how it looked out there on the pitch.

There's looking less assured mate, and being absolutely cack. It wasn't as if we were up against Aguero, Sterling, De Bruyne and Silva from the off.
I mean, Jesus had only scored once in 12 games before today.
