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

Josh King is dire

He’s had like 30 total minutes

 

[R.Reddington]

This one doesn’t hurt. It’s the Fulham and Newcastle games that hurt.

 

[PhilRegan]

Makes me angry that. I’d be embarrassed and ashamed after another loss.

A winning mentality team would be straight down the tunnel talking about why they lost

 

[blue61]

If man of the match awards were given on 'most passes received', Pickford wins it by a mile. Can't fault the effort, but that was men against boys stuff.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Hardly unexpected. Didn’t play badly but just not good enough to match them.

 

[maccavennie]

Everton v Man City

Possession 29% - 71%

Shots 3 - 16

On target 2 - 7

Expect the same Saturday Lou, with the same result.

shut up mate, you're now saying bad things about keane? haha lol

Do you have seen the first and third goal. Thank you Keane!

 

[Mkjjones]

Not enough self belief. City didnt play that well and we made them look good. Not having any excuses. Its another poor loss with a lack of determination and heart.

lol lol lol you lot are funny

 

[matty1878]

Not for me Gomes is to weak and imo only a slight improvement on Sigs. Good player in a league like Spain not suited to the PL imo. But he did start the season and Allan does do the dirty work so that would help him.

so start him? lol

 

[Frenk]

Very disappointing second half. City clearly a better team but why do our defence retreat into our own box all the time. We did it against Utd and Fulham. Just inviting shots.

Because they are scared and simply not good enough.

 

[gianthogweed]

Realistically how many of our players would even make their bench?
Digne, DCL who else?
Hard to beat the resources of an oil rich dictatorship but Fulham is the stupid loss, still can't get over it.

Digne wouldn't get on their bench unless they had injurys

 

[Bluepablo]

Better performance, took a deflection & a great goal to beat us. Think DCL & Allan would have made a difference.

Need to find similar performances against the lesser teams.

 

[Efctrueblue]

Anybody getting hysterical and losing their head after losing that game needs to take a step back. Nothing that wasnt expected. Thats not being a ‘loser’ thats being realistic. Better effort and showing from them than Sunday. All i ask each game is that they give 100%. I feel mostly satisfied i got that tonight. Move on.

5 Points off 5th and 5 points off 11th. We are as close to the bottom half as we are a European place with the RS to come next....

Great time to be an Evertonian, all hail Carlo Ancelotti........ Made up with how this season is going.

Villa now have a game in hand are coming past as are Spurs and Arsenal who have stronger squads.

Season is over when they bounce us out of the cup, we cant even add any players this is what we got........

 

[PhilRegan]

That will be Ancelottis face after the derby
