We were pretty toothless in the first half.
Everton goal - Bernardo was unlucky in slipping on the Astro at the side of the pitch To conceded possession and Rodri’s slip was …….unexpected….and punished. The margins are slim.
We stepped up our intensity in the second half and it was was rewarded. Fab strike from Foden to level things.
Dyche doing a Maureen (deflection) in his moanathon about the penalty. He would not call it harsh had been awarded to his team and conversely had it not been awarded against a City player his narrative would have 180 degrees reversed - he would still have been complaining that he doesn’t understand handball but then would have berated the officials for
NOT awarding it. This is the hypocritical, one-eyed, blinkered BS I cannot abide in coaches. I thought it was a penalty. Had it been awarded against City I would have been disappointed but the rules are what they are - his arm was above his head. Tough. Sky opened their coverage with a BIG lead on the CONTROVERSIAL penalty. Getting tired of this sh*t. I can bet Anti-City pundits on Prime (Full on Dipper Tiny Tim Owen; ex—Everton Manager Martinez & Uber City hater Alan Shearer) were all bemoaning it. They would have been completely of the opposite opinion had been awarded to Everton I an quite sure.
Fab save from Eddy to keep the score at 0-1.
Stones injury - been saying for ages a player would get injured because they make what turns out to be an unnecessary challenge. And so it comes to pass
Pickford is a plonker and how he is England No 1 beggars belief.
More than him should have been booked for disputing the penalty. The officials were going to clamp down on that stuff. Another failed campaign. Just like they were going to punish the failure of players to retreat from free kicks.
Bernardo is brilliant.
I am now going to watch the final 15 minutes which I missed due to a family matter. And - based on the MDT - will probably get annoyed about poor refereeing and garbage Everton petulance in their commission of bad fouls.
