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

[blue to the bone]

No

We've got 1 point from 5 home games. Its unacceptable and tonight wasn't good enough. Far too many players out there letting the club down.

City weren't that good. The game was there to win and we were hopeless second half.

City are on a different level to us.
And to almost every one else..
The other losses were disappointing.
We aren't close to them.

 

[Gilbert..]

Still doesn’t mean we had to give them the game, which tbh we did we looked hopeless going forward again.

Mate they have brushed all aside since november.
Whats that. 17 consecutive wins.

 

[Frenk]

That is a surprise I’m dreading both games.

Yep season could be over in a few weeks.

Doucoure for me again. The lad is knackered but he continues to carry the ball and attempt to be threatening

Tbh I’m pinning my hopes on us improving to Allan come back,that should help Doucoure and hopefully James. Poor Allan the work he’s going to have to do lol

You’ve obviously got limited football knowledge if you couldn’t read that game.

You have loads mate. I bow to your knowledge. Wasted posting on a forum you are .

 

[Sharpies volley]

We desperately need DCL back, although Richarlison could be a decent 9 he can’t play with his back to goal, need that proper focal point.

Maybe the game has moved on from having a centre forward as a focal point. The two best teams in the prem play with 3 forwards with pace who pass move and interchange with each other. This obsession Everton managers have with playing a big target man center forward in the "traditions of the club" May have to be looked at and developed to move on with the future of the game.

The rs will make a mockery of us next week and play the kids and get the result. We've well and truly folded in half

 

[TrachyBlue]

I disagree. Let’s leave it there

We have different standards I guess, loosing comfortably to anyone you have to look at your team and not just accept defeats.

There were many mistakes we could have cut out during the game.

Losing. I have different spelling standards.

 

[blulouie]

Doucoure for me.
Was blowin for tugs at the weekend , but really strong game tonight.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

"Loads of spirit"

Sick of hearing the same old mantra,do something to make us proud in the truly big games,go.and win the Derby and dump city out of the cup eh?,fed up of the empty excuses and broken promises.

 

[NorthernBlue]

We'll finish 9th while Leicester get Champions League, Moyes takes West Ham into the Europa League and Southampton win the FA Cup.

Imagine the shame. Don’t think we can take anymore

 

[overkill]

I do agree with you in the sense that we did have situations we could've made more of, though I think that's part and parcel of their game. If you've got the composure and quality to take advantage then you can really hurt them. Personally thought their sharpness and speed of passing and close control was difficult to combat - we needed them to be well below their best tonight but they were fairly well at it.

Not angry with our performance nor am I in any way delighted. Far angrier with Fulham, Newcastle etc though, that's where we let ourselves down badly.

Pretty much agree.

But I think if we cut out the mistakes we made the game would have been closer and we would have been in the game towards the end.

 

[deipnosophist]

Bitcoin is doing very well.

 

[Jonte]

Another good showing from Seamus

 

[T LEAFE]

There was an air of inevitably tonight..a better performance than Fulham(which was a minimum)with effort but no chance of getting a result
Its what we are
