The balance of power on Merseyside could yet still turn on its head this season.

[Elite]

Perfect performance for Everton this. They can say they gave it a good go buy ultimately got the result they wanted and put a dent in der redshirts title challenge.

[Anubis]

Just a reminder that Everton’s £30m Wunderkind striker is still to score a goal.

Two points off the drop zone, and with a worse goal difference than three of the five teams below them.

Still, it's the taking part that matters.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

A hugely underperforming City were still well ahead of Everton on possibly their best performance of the season. Such is the chasm between them.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Pity, at 2-1 Everton had plenty of chances to equalise if Mina didn't have a square head. City were all over the place from set pieces, a better team than Everton might have taken points off them today. City play Wolves at home next, so you never know. Bitters away to Burnley, so hopefully in the bottom 3 before the international break.

Might help if he got more than 15 minutes. What in the fuck is Calvert Lewin doing playing ahead of him?

[Captain Howdy]

Everton threw that game, City were shit yet trot out 3-1. Coincidence? I think not

[Dr Nowt]

Genuinely not being snide with this, but the BBC is awash with commentators and pundits saying this was a really promising performance for Everton because with better finishing they might have got something.

 

That lack of finishing wasn’t a one-off or sign of bad luck which may soon turn, it’s the level of their forwards. They lack the sort of player you’d hope might take those chances and will barely have anyone in double figures for goals this season. City also have a fucking dreadful defence at the moment, especially from set-pieces. 

 

Long hard season awaits because their strikers are terrible. That Lookman must have been woeful if Calvert-Lewin was the better option to keep of the two.

[Captain Turdseye]

Anichebe would be happier if he just admitted it. 

[Anubis]

Oh well, all back to The Brick for sandwiches, ginger beer, and a singalong about not caring what the RS say.

Calvert-Lewin's the sort of player we'd have sent out on loan for several seasons before finally letting him leave to a League 1 team on a free. They've needed a decent striker since Lukaku went, and have pissed their money away on dross.

[El Rojo]

Silva is stealing a living. The highlight of his time there has probably been a relatively solid first 95 minutes in our home fixture against them last season. Has he actually achieved anything, anywhere in management? An elite level bluffer.

His win against Utd at the back end of last season. Kept him in a job and made the Ev fans believe in him again. It will never get that good again.

[Chocoholic]

They have to go to Burnley next week and that's not a prospect they'll enjoy now that Dyche has got them back to their awkward doggedness.

He masterminded the draw that inevitably cost us the league, probably Evertons biggest achievement in over 20 years, they'll be putting a statue of him outside their new stadium. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Everton didn't cost us the league. Pickford gifted us 3 points if anything they gave a season until the very last day. Our season ultimately came down to that game v city. Not that you can really boil a season down to one game or  even odd moments.

Lose against Burnley and he gets whacked

[John102]

Only just seen Sterling's interview now on the matter. John Barnes he aint.

Aye. Then look at the resale value as well. In total, I'd say we've doubled what we paid for those players, at the very least, possibly pushing 2.5-3X given they're all under long term contracts. Everton's- you'd be lucky to get half what they paid. 

 

What a time to be alive.

He's not bad, Oblak.
