We started brightly, but Everton grew into the game and have been well organised. They’re going to be difficult to break down, might need a moment of brilliance to break the deadlock. They look a threat on set pieces.

Either that, or it’s spot kicks at the end...
 
Silvan Distemper and Calamity James in the studio, before the game Distemper went 2-1 Everton, Calamaity went 3-1 City, Distemper prefers Everton as well.
 
They’re keeper has been well protected tbf. There’s always at least 7 in a narrow shape in front of him when we get close to the box.
I’m sorry to say this but Sterling offers nothing at the moment and totally living up to the criticism he’s been getting.
Gabby has to learn to move the ball quickly instead of tippy tapping around and getting dispossessed.
They’re having plenty of the ball and being given a free ride to hack and slash at will.
This is a “1 goal wins” game. If we aren’t careful, we WILL get suckered.
The midfield feels hollow, maybe Rodri needs to step in for Ferni? Hook Raz, move Gabby and bring on Kun? But who knows what will happen.
I get the awful feeling this will be a “TYPICAL CITY” outcome.
The media wankathon will be unbearable if we lose.
 
Whats happend to Raheem, he looks a shadow of his former self from previous seasons
 
Not easy that against a stubborn physical & aggressive Everton side who are playing this like an old school underdog FA cup QF & I wouldn’t of expected any different, we have a few more gears to change up too & plenty on the bench, rather than look on that half as poor, as some are suggesting & going off previous, I’m sure our players will use that as a platform....the best chance we have is to open up the area just outside the box for a 20-25 yarder, Phil has had a go & id like a few more (Gundy especially) to start having a go, that box has 9 home players in it and lacks space
 
Pretty comfortable but created next to nothing.

I really do not like this full back pairing, it’s actually the worst pairing we can put out. It offers absolutely nothing in possession, and that a problem in a side that has 70% of it most games. Cancelo and Zin - fine. Walker and Cancelo - fine. This - not fine. Even Mendy and Walker is a better option than this. Get Cancelo on.

Bernardo has to offer more creatively. We all love his work-rate but when you’re playing 8 in this side, you have to be goal-scoring threat (Gundo), or a creative threat (KDB). Running around a lot against shite like this doesn’t give us enough, especially with two full backs who pass backwards 95% of the time.

Need far more from Jesus and Sterling.

Foden the only one who looks remotely lively up top.
 
Raz not awful but expected more after being dropped. Everton very organised. First goal crucial to say the least
