We aren't doing to bad
Silly mistakes yes .
This goalkick routine doesn't work imo
Teams sussed it

State of officiating in this league. The ref has just spent the whole of added time talking to our players and then blows up. Wtf like?

Probably asking our players did they want him to blow up, and they said "yes please"

Once again we have a couple chances but don’t convert that is the difference

This Man City side are something this league hasn't ever seen. They create space easily and close down space expertly. Make other teams look like statues.
Need Richarlison and DCL to get the ball and hold it up better. They need to create there own space and they are not able to do it. We try to continue to play the right way from the back but we cannot do it as our players cannot create space for themselves to receive and once it's ingrained in a player it is difficult to go long. Yes we have created our own problems but the technique between us and them is chalk and cheese. If only we had a killer striker to pick up on the crumbs.

Be more aggressive Everton

 

[Jreverton1]

It's shocking how bad we are in comparison.

Not sure why you're comparing us to City, we had Allardyce last season they had Mark Hughes 10 years ago

 

[maccavennie]

Couple of tweaks here and there.

Still in with a shout at 1-0.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

No way can we play from the back to much pressure.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Diving header need there.......

Looking at it again mate he could have tried to control it, nobody near him.

 

[ilikecheese]

Our inability to show composure on the ball has been our biggest problem in these sort of games for decades. We can't beat being pressed. Always give it away under pressure. Seen this boring and ultimately unsatisfying movie for far too long.

 

[Steve Wigan]

Take bambi of and play Walcott up top. At least he has pace and there is room to come behind the city defense.

Yes.Hundred per cent. And so far, our MOM is Bernard, for sheer hard work and commitment. This lad has talent and is a worker! Bit more composure by Richie and we would have been in front.

i agree, i think our primary problem this season has been not being able to convert when we are on top.

 

[Irish nsno]

Dcl is one lazy trucker

Lol

yep too much panicking not enough composure.

Love pundits

Host: Craig, have Everton been the architects of their own downfall?

Craig: No, they’ve just made the wrong decisions...

Another week with no Everton representation on the panel for an Everton game. Lescott doesn’t count.
