We asked for your thoughts after Monday’s Premier League game between Everton and Manchester City.
Here are some of your comments:
Everton fans
Stuart: Hard to criticise our performance but we should have won given that it’s the third game in a row we have conceded in time added on, which has probably seen off our European challenge. Might have had five on the night with better finishing.
Ben: As an Everton fan, I didn’t think I’d say after the match that I’d be disappointed with a draw, but this was two dropped points. The bad defending on City’s second goal and Ndiaye’s disappointing finishing will haunt me. City honestly offered nothing except for Doku. They were poor and didn’t deserve a point out of this. But again they found a way to save themselves.
G.Edwards: Everton were brilliant and deserved to win.
Harry: Wow! 3-1 up with eight minutes left – the game was pretty weird. Referees have a habit of making life difficult for Everton – and it’s not a moan, it’s a fact. Three games on the run we have dropped points in injury time. Bad luck or bad coaching?
Jeff: After being 3-1 up, this feels like a loss. And just like against Arsenal this loss is totally down to Moyes – bringing on three substitutes after the 90th minute in a cowardly effort to waste time. It once again broke the momentum and it backfired on us. It reminds me of Moyes’ first spell at Everton. When will he ever stop doing this? We can definitely say goodbye to being in Europe next season.
Man City fans
Kenneth: Very poor defensively but Doku was outstanding. I think the title is now Arsenal’s as cannot see them dropping any points from their remaining games, and their run-in looks, on paper, easier than City’s.
Daniel: It just shows how difficult it is to beat Everton under Moyes. City should have been out of sight in the first half but they were busy playing entertaining football.
Elaine: All that first half possession and pressure meant nothing. Awful lapse of concentration from Guehi and bringing Kovacic on didn’t work. Cherki needs to stop showboating and come up with a decent end product. Now need to hope Arsenal slip up – stranger things happened! “This isn’t over!”
Gene: Again complacency ruined a golden opportunity for a win. The lack of desire to score goals when a win as well as goals are needed. The situation is of their own doing and now have to hope Arsenal stumble.
Harry: I’m not going to celebrate a draw or praise these players. The draw was the bare minimum they owed after what I saw in that second half. I’m proud of the lads for the performances this season, but it’s clear a lot of them don’t have the mentality for a title race yet. Doku, Donnarumma and Haaland were fine. Everyone else needs to take a look at themselves. I won’t berate Guehi because he knows he has to do better than that. Credit to Everton as they were well up for it. We haven’t lost the title with this result, rather we lost it to Spurs, West Ham, Sunderland, Brighton and Forest. We can still take an FA Cup but we’ll have to come back for Arsenal next year.
