Everton vs City - Post Match Thread

Harshly booked today though. And Barry did an elbow on Sagna very similar to Ferns v Costa and nothing was made of it. The ref didn't even stop play despite it being a head injury.

Anyway I wouldn't say our midfield has been bossed in any game this season. If we left spaces behind, Hazard and Barkley are two of the best at exploiting it and I'm not sure that happened.

There actually were moments where the space was exploited. The difference is that so far the back 4 have been so good that it didn't matter - they've dealt with every problem. But it's still a slight weakness, imo.
 
So many positives from that game.
Merlin is pure magic.
Only criticisms are that we should have finished them off earlier and Joe who has looked more assured in recent games at dealing with crosses flapped at a couple today and still positions himself to one side of the goal at free kicks which makes the kickers mind up ( Lukaku nearly scored and Joe was not getting to it).
 
I want young players to play for us but today highlighted why it will be so difficult for them

Nasri came on for Sterling and looked a class apart as far was strength, touch and movement was concerned - to expect a 18yr old to come in and look anywhere near the required standard is optimistic to say the least

Having said that, if we are comfortably beating Watford next week then I would expect one to come on
