Huge 3 points!

Nico O'Reilly, what a boy!

Looks like a good performance now I guess. I'll forgive anyone that fell asleep though.

Game changed when Kova and Doku came on. They make us tick. Doku is relentless but Kova is slick, does everything at speed which makes such a difference.

Them coming on gave the team a lift - Marmoush suddenly became energetic and had somebody to play off too.

Should be a blueprint for the rest of the season IMO. Both should be starting every week.

First 75 were a painful watch, mind. But a win is a win.

YAY!

NICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nunes best player on the pitch.. got some pass on him.. Full back to full back goal!

P.S. I apologize to Pep.. he got his subs right even though I questioned them!! Doku changed the game!!

Massive win there after shithousing for like 85 minutes!

Fantastic results. Shit performance

I’m not just saying this because we came out with three points, but I thought we were better than most were saying. Everton out-of-possession play was very impressive in my eyes. There’s a reason they haven’t lost have only lost once in twelve straight while playing the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool.

I had O’Riely os MOTM even before his goal. He’s going to be a star. There's a lot to improve, obviously, but realistically, all that matters at this point is getting the points and securing CL, and this was a big step in that direction. On to Villa!

Doku was great when he came on

You're welcome :-)

 

[RobinHood]

[samuelyeboah]

[ShaunMCFC]

Tell you what, never easy is it, get the fuck in

 

[N1985]

Brilliant win, the most important one of the season?

Nico and Doku absolutely superb.

Players rested for Tuesday. Win on Tuesday and I reckon that's enough with the fixtures we have left

Well done City

I really don't think we played that poorly... This always felt like a match we would always have to win in the final 20-30 minutes, as there was no way Everton could keep running as they were, and that's what happened.

I honestly reckon we looked decent before they came on because there was a noticeable increase in tempo. I wonder if Pep basically took the reins off when it was obvious we were heading for a defeat and the first 70 minutes of dirge conserved our energy for a big finish in terms of pressing.

Not easy, but winning games like that feels great, and just the confidence tonic we need. Everton are a much tougher nut to crack now.

Bring on the villains.
