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

take nothing away from City but look at their bench compared to ours, it’s disgraceful. BT are harping on like they’re in this position on belief and spirit - idiots

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Baffled by anyone who doesn’t think we gave a good account of ourselves tonight.

City are just brilliant, and we competed.

Such a B sentence; where was the effort in the matches we lost to rubbish opposition.

City have toyed with us.

They didn't score for the first 84 minutes just for giggles, eh?

 

[Steve EFC]

Good effort that. No shame at all. And yes they were the best tactics against these.
stand toe to toe with them and they would have embarrassed us....
At least this way we had a chance of nicking something for most the game..

 

[BlueStevie35]

Wasn’t a 2-0 game that, just sums our luck on the night that that ball comes off the bar to one of their lads to score while at the other end Dom’s shot does fall to ours with their keeper down

 

[Frenk]

Other than that flick on from the corner, did we actually have a single meaningful shot on target all game?

Nope, and that’s disappointing.

 

[hibbo'sclass]

Young Virginia was impressive most of the game apart from the flap. Thought Mina was immense at the back.
No-one disgraced themselves, and a good defensive display.

 

[Sharpies volley]

Well played boys. Unlucky. Worked hard but their class just wore us down.

Lad you missed the worst one...Martinez

Martinez was nowhere near as bad with money spent, i would imagine he probably made the club money with the Lukaku signing as well

 

[LocalNative]

We’d need James and Docuoure in this team to have had any chance against this lot. I’m not sure we can play much better with the players we had out.

Need a lot more mate. Crying out for some width and as well as Coleman done defensively we have nothing going forward on the right.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Substitutes changed the game. If we had taken a chance earlier in the game maybe we could've nicked it, but they are a fantastic side and are way ahead of us.

 

[lungo]

When you look at the benches it tells the story.
Let's be honest If they started their best 11 we probably don't get to the last 10 in the game.

They have De Bruyne.Rodri and Mahrez on the bench. We have that non footballer Iwobi. Thanks Mr Brandt!

 

[rochdaleblue]

We have given the best team in the country and possibly Europe a game with a keeper making his first start. I don’t know what more we could have done if I’m honest. We needed to take one of the couple of half chances that came our way, but sadly their class told in the end.

 

[Blunatic]

Games 90 minutes long lad. Switch off and you concede.

Oh and it wasn’t a foul

is it really wow I didn't know that. also spouting clichés and platitudes makes you look really good well done!!

 

[Lapeno77]

Tactics spot on, good performances from Virginia, Godfrey and Gomes. Had chances but just didn't take them. We need players who can take those limited chances
