Si'n dda i'r seld i'r Pogs match press conference after that Everton's 2-0 defeat at the Etihad on Saturday against Manchester City. Everton did quite well in the main. The manager was asked for his thoughts on the game. This is what he had to say. Defensively, very pleasing for a large part of the game. I think they had three shots on target from that point of view. It was unusual when you come here. So that side of the game I thought was very pleasing for the tactical understanding, the energy and the work ethic of the players. The frustrating part which is not going to be wrong. It's hard to do it. They react very quickly and they're good on transition. I've said it for years, it's not just the way they play, they're defensive side. You know the way they see the picture and how quickly they turn their transition, rather into defending when attacking. How quickly they react to that and shut it down. So that is a challenge. But when we had their moments, we didn't keep the ball, we didn't find the passes necessary to bring you into the game offensively as many times we needed to. And equally when they play the high line to try and pressure, we didn't find the passing behind. It's a big frustration of mine. It's something we need to challenge the players with constantly here is to find that passing behind. Because we've seen it recent weeks, a lot of teams now trying to do that. It's an idea of pressing, which we do as well at times. Pressing a higher line. So seeing the picture is difficult, easy for me to sit and stand quite obviously, not so easy when you're at pitch level. But that's part of the challenge turning to defensive, good displays defensively. And challenges have to turn them into offensive displays as well. There you go. Disappointing really, Evan. Like I said before, we'll hear from Sean. I haven't did well up until to a point, but obviously Manchester City too good in the end. The manager was asked about the return of Amadou Omnana, which was an important person to see back in the squad. We need all the plays we can get at the moment. The manager also provided us with an update on Abdelhaid y Cori. Yeah, I thought he did well when he came on. He looked bright and he's looked bright around the place, you know, coming back from injury. Gamma's words have us a hard again. Jimmy as well, you know, I think two good performers in there. Sheamus gets a few more minutes, you know, we're beginning to get full fitness back. It's going to be important over the remaining games of the season and we'll hopefully have better news during this week on Duke as well being out in the grass. There you go. Evan, I've found the difficult of later score goals. I don't know which scored two against Spares last week in, you know, both and set plays. But the manager was asked why he thinks Everton's goals have dried up in recent matches. This was his response to that question. Yeah, well, I'd say they're the moments of truth, you know, getting in the right areas. The shot count remains. I'm not so much today. Obviously it's tough to come here and dominate that. We all know that. I think they're beaten as well here this season. You know, it gives you a measure of where they're at. So that's the moment of truth, you know, and that's why often then players here have done that down their careers in varying positions, not just the centrefuls. And that's why players end up being worth fortunes, you know, and our players are still in that growth mode, I think, not all of them. They're some of it more mature. There's a lot of them still growing. I'll reference that to them after the game. All the details of the game have to be adhered to. And the final moment of truth is often the one that you challenge to be the best at. And that's a calmness, a belief in your technique and a belief in what you do in the training ground. So that when your chance comes, that automatic behaviour kicks in. You know, you're not searching for it because it's already there. There you go. Everton under 21, transfer window sign in Kingsford, Boach. He made his debut for Everton under 21's side on Friday night. They played Aston Villa, but unfortunately the game finished in a 2-1 defeat against Villa. A goal from Jang Patty for the Toffees wasn't enough to get them a result. The 19-year-old Boach joined as a free agent, having previously been with Milan. He signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Everton until the summer of 2026. And his work payment has now been approved. So good luck to him. Good to see him starting the game. And hopefully now he will begin his development. Everton on loan with Fielder Shaw, McAllister made his full debut at the weekend for Inverness, Caledonian Thistle, but they lost to Hibs 3-1 in the Scottish Cup. And Eli Campbell, who is on loan at Fleetwood, started the game. Unfortunately for them, they were beaten 2-1 at Lincoln. That is it for the news daily.
