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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Haaland may have leapt like a salmon but he was as free as a bird.
Not an Everton defender within touching distance.

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.

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

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.

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.
