 It's Sophie TV, it's the mat reaction Manchester City 2-1. Callo ansiolot i shyffa'r ffordd i'r ffordd. Everton's first defeat since the Anfield Derby. We've been on quite a good run, but today was always going to be a very, very difficult game for us. Going to the Etihad, obviously Manchester City at the top side and Everton struggled. Let's be honest, it was the worst performance for a while without a shadow of a doubt. That isn't because, not necessarily because Manchester City made us play that poorly. We were just poor, we looked leggy, we gave the ball away cheaply. There were some poor performances and they punished us. Gabriel Hazusu loved the goal against Everton, another true today. Two goals that probably could have been avoided. Callo ansiolot i made some changes to his side. Went with a team that I think we'd selected on the start in the 11 million pad. But Evan just couldn't get going, we just couldn't get into it really. We had a half chance early on, James Coleman on a run and forced the save from Bravo. But then after that there was nothing really from Everton as an attacking centre in the first half. We made sure we got people behind the ball, City scored a goal, it got chalked off offside. When you look at it again, Maris I think it was offside in the build-up but the game carried on that much that you forget about it. So as it went across and forward and put it in, you just thought it was a goal but when you look at it again it was offside. So we got away with that one then, you see this is the thing with VAR and I'll talk more about it on the three-talking points but the one after that where Maris brings the ball down, ay with his hand, he's offside looking at that, then he controls it twice with his hand and then the check-in for a penalty, absolutely nonsense. We got in nil nil at the break, I mean the day hadn't started very well when Bernard gets injured in training. Yeri Mina apparently caught him in the warm-up on his calf and he's got a gash on his calf and cut him in place. So that wasn't exactly great and so that threw probably the way we were playing up into the air a little bit but that's not an excuse. Everton plays today just under hitting passes and were too negative, you could see, anti a lot he was fuming a chance. He was passing it back and you know, today was one of those games that you know when you go to the Etihad that you're not going to have much of the ball so you've either got to use the ball correctly or you've got to try to mix it up a little bit maybe miss the midfield out a bit and we should have got people round, dumb and gone longer a little bit. It's not how we want to play going forward but games are one-off games aren't they? You're on a good little run with a bit of momentum, get Dom into the game. I don't think he had a very good game at all today, don't want to call the loon but I mean given the chance to have a good game either. You know, I mean very few Everton plays I think can walk off the pitch and say that they had a good game today. It was that kind of performance and when your levels drop a little bit against such a topside like Manchester City, you'll get punished for it. So like you say, nil nil at the break, come out second half hoping to see a little bit more attack and intent. Obviously City didn't have their full strength team out but Everton just can't cope with movement in midfield. The midfield with that contains Sigarton and Delth as you midfield too, you know, playing in that double pivot. The pair of them just aren't quick enough to get around a pitch. If you've got movement like City have, you're going to get caught out and we got caught out. Our shape was okay. Gundawan plays you through, Hullgate has to do better. Hazoutain's inside it. Pickford got a hand on it. Should he have saved it? He got a lot on the ball but I'm not a goalie so I don't know. It's ended up in the net and then, you know, the big thing you do when you can see the goal like that is just try to stay in the game and we didn't be considered another goal within a couple of minutes against standing off them allowing them to pass through us. And this time I do blame Pickford. Nia Post shouldn't be beating on you Nia Post. Hazoutain, Nia Post, shot, two nil. You know, and Disripoint and City then just kept the ball like they would do, you know. The Browner was at the centre of things keeping it going. You know, they didn't have loads of chances but they only played for me at 75%. Everton got a goal but, you know, I think that Charleston was just about to be hooked. You know, we'd already introduced Moise Keane and Walcott for Charleston. Looked like he was coming off Anthony Gordon. Was warming up. And, you know, we, Bravo was messing around at the back. We get it. Moise Keane, you know, should shoot but does well. Pops it off. Walcott drives it across from Charleston. Runs in at the far post and scores. Miles onside. And you're thinking it's 20 minutes to go and we're backing again that we haven't been in. David a little bit edgy. But, you know, other than the Dominic Alford Luminader off a corner that hits Fanandino, I think it wasn't just went wide. We didn't really do anything. We didn't put them under enough pressure. Dom, in my opinion, was lucky to stay on the pitch. Jumping in needlessly on Fanandino. I don't understand why did he got the ball but he jumped through the air and it was a scissor tackle. I don't think anyone could have complained if it was a red ball. Just silly and I was frustrated for not having a good game. But one of them things, you know, was a tough game. It was always going to be a tough game. We just couldn't find an equaliser. We've lost the games. Auntie Lottie's faced the feet. Like I say, it's our face defeating six, I think, in the Premier League. So we can get and run like that going again. We'll keep moving forward on to a very, very difficult game. The FA Cup on Enfield. But beyond that, we've got a home game against Brighton and then on the way trip to West Ham. We've won four-nil today under David Moy's show. You know, an opportunity to pick some more points up from those other two league games. You've got to forget this one now. It's done. Dust our shells down. Get ready for the Cup at the weekend. And then hopefully after that call on Auntie Lottie will have seen things today that some players just aren't good enough, which we know about, that we need more mobility in the middle of the park. And so maybe, you know, there'll be some conversations next week about bringing in some reinforcements in January to try and get us through this next part of the season. That's it for me. Disappointing, but what can you say? Desiad the feet, city desiad, so when we can't complain about that and we have to move on. Give the video a thumbs up. Sub if you haven't already.
