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

Myko really is horrific. You see that clearance attempt on the fantastic save by Pickford. Jesus he is a liability. For every one good game he has 6 gaffers. Put in Vinagre

Why ? After a great team performance, why feel the need to criticise one of ours. He did plenty right.

BABY

I think me joining this forum has turned around our fortunes. Long may it continue.

Just keep slicing your palm and dripping the blood into a pentagram before each game or whatever you’re up to

Brilliant result but counts for very little if we don't beat Brighton next up

That’s got to be one of those special three-point draws, hasn’t it?

Moral victory

Held on for a point despite being under seige for most of the game. But my god are we in a bad shape? We can't pass a ball, there's no desire or hunger, there's no guile or skill, there's no intelligent movement. I just don't know how we move forward.

I can see where you are coming from, Rodri scores that late header we are lamenting the fact we can't hold possession. At times it was awful, needless passes, Maupay,Gray, Mykolenko and Onana showed nothing but panic in those final few minutes. Maupay was so panic stricken his legs wouldn't even move him...

We need to cut our losses with him and pray someone panic buys him ?

I'm disappointed we couldn't win but well done on getting a draw. I hope this result kick-starts your season and you get enough points not to worry about relegation.

Happy new year.

That's what I am hoping that it can be the kick start we need feared the worst today

We should be setting up like that every game from now. Get behind the ball and counter. Don’t try and be the team with the ball. It’s futile

 

[Ufotone]

Well done lads.

There's still a pulse there yet! ?

This is typical Everton, pull something like this out of the bag, a point, a precious one at that, then we will play Brighton and embarrass ourselves, instead of actually turning up!

I am certain we will lose to Brighton..

Mykos foul at 110’ was horrendous but he was good otherwise. Still not doing much going forward but he stayed with Mahrez all game.

 

[tommytowne]

Thought the result was a foregone conclusion so occupied the late afternoon watching West Side Story and its ending always leaves me blubbering. Now I've just seen the score the tears are tripping me.

We did something similar at Spurs and, if it wasn't for poor finishing, we could have been 2-0 up at half-time. We're much better on the counter.

The problem is, at home we can't play like that against most teams as they won't come at us like City and others do.

It was class.

The knock on Gray hasn’t been his talent, but his decision making, right? Always rash. He was plenty composed here, even slipped and straightened himself with the ball at his feet before calmly sticking it upper 90.

He faded late, looks like he has a muscle issue, but he was solid.

Summed it up perfectly, his decision making is his flaw. Got bags of talent but can be infuriating, gave the ball away needlessly at times when under the gosh.... Marvelous goal
