Everton v City

[ElectroClaret]

Any hope at all for SDs mob here?
Not much, i reckon.

1-3 Citeh

[LeadBelly]

City resting a couple maybe but the quality of the "second stringers" is so high it's hard to tell.
Everton are a better side than "Frank Lampard's Everton" but cant see them getting anything out of this game.

[LeadBelly]

It also looks like WHU are resting a few at Brentford after their European exertions. Rice, Bowen, Paqueta all benched; Cornet and Ings starting.

[ElectroClaret]

Wouldn't mind a Toffees shock here if it worsens Leeds plight. Which it surely would.
Think DL would be 4 points adrift.

[Tricky Trevor]

15mins of Holgate at LB and I think Charlie Taylor could be moving West.

[Bordeauxclaret]

I hope Mina recovers. Looked a terrible injury there…

[Vegas Claret]

embarrassing

I've set up a go fund me, poor lad

[aGoodKompany]

Fancy City to sneak it.

[ElectroClaret]

City's final ball into the box lacking something atm.

[ElectroClaret]

0-1 City neat flick by Gundogan.

[Conroysleftfoot]

Great finish.

[RVclaret]

What a stunning finish

[ElectroClaret]

Haaland makes it 2.

Boom!! Boom!!

0-2

[Murger]

Usual Dyche-like bottle job against City.

Usual Dyche-like bottle job against City.

Very silly statement.

[IanMcL]

Why was Pickford jumping across his goal, before Haaland had even started his header? Could have saved that if he had stayed composed.

[Murger]

Very silly statement.

Not false though.

[Shaggy]

Very silly statement.

Accurate enough though.

[wilks_bfc]

Although I wouldn’t agree with the “bottle job” element, it does maybe show that even with “perceivably better players” he still uses the same tactics

[PremierLeagueClass]

He tries to be too clever and ends up looking a bit of a wally. He did it in a game a few weeks ago where he moved over to his left when the cross came in which meant the guy just ended up with a simple tap in down the middle of the goal.

[ElectroClaret]

City threatening to run riot here.
The third shouldn't be long.

[taio]

It's hardly bottling it. City are just a brilliant side, as the vast majority of sides who play them experience. Glad they are winning today.

He never changes tactics. We have plenty of data to call
Upon to see that.

Hope City smash about her 4 or 5 past them just for old times sake

It’s definitely bottling it. Dyche just struggles against City.

[Lancasterclaret]

I don't think Everton can play any better than that

One outstanding goal, and that a moments concentration drop and its 2-0 and game over

City are just an outstanding side

I have to be honest, they are going to beat you whatever you do under normal circumstances, so there is a lot to be said for having a good go at them as if they have any weaknesses, its when you (very rarely!) win the ball off them and catch them pouring forward

[Lancasterclaret]

See my previous post

As do most sides. It's not bottling it.

[Vegas Claret]

I'd love to know how high up Haaland heads the ball in from, it almost looks like he's above the crossbar

[Here's-Johnny]

No team or manager can manage to pick the lock to give city a game. Getting ridiculous now.

[kentonclaret]

Haaland may have leapt like a salmon but he was as free as a bird.

Not an Everton defender within touching distance.

[Vegas Claret]

Very noticeable how it went from loud to hearing a pin drop in the home ends at Goodison once City scored

Its the usual pr!cks on about Dyche but lets face it this City team can troubce anyone. They are sensational.

Do the same teams have the usual collapse every time they face the same team?

[Vegas Claret]

I still don't get how Maupay is playing in the Premier League

people will be talking about this City team in 50 years, they are just streets ahead of 99.9% of teams

[Here's-Johnny]

0...6

[Here's-Johnny]

Class...

[Lancasterclaret]

I've seen City batter us in three different leagues, under different managers and with different teams

This City side is just brilliant, and its probably better just to accept that, rather than somehow ending up having the position that Everton are only losing to them because of SD and his tactics

[ElectroClaret]

Three.

[Conroysleftfoot]

Gundogan does a Scott Twine.

[IanMcL]

Short arms late and short in the arms equals 3!

[welsbyswife]

Virtually no point watching a City match if you are a neutral unless they are playing one of the top 4 sides. Nobody else can get near them. Incredibly boring if you just want to watch a decent game of football.

[Vegas Claret]

Reminded me a bit of Barton's free kick at Brentford, all about precision, pure class

[Carwin261]

You could be talking about the Clarets.

[Foshiznik]

If losing to a world XI comprising of billions of pounds worth of world class players from around the world with clubs comprising of a fraction of that is bottling then you have a very strange definition for “bottling it” and 16/17/18 of the managers in the premier league will sit in that camp every year.

In regards to the usual, I've noticed a small number of Dyche hating accounts have stopped posting now he's left.

They don't even post anything positive about this season, they've just completely stopped/disappeared.

[Lancasterclaret]

McNeil has been good again
