Johnny has been impressive

Laporte was bloody free in the area. Ridiculous defending.

We need to try to use the ball better. We have been a tad sloppy when in possession since the goal.

I think City are going to really up their game now.

We have been extremely lucky here with the decisions in the last 5 minutes.

Boly you hero!

Jota is niggly. I like his work-rate but he does need to be a bit more intelligent.

Despite a few bad decisions in possession that was a good half for us. City are fantastic but we have, at times, broken away quite well.

City really are extraordinary at creating space for the extra man (overload). They do it so subtly.

We started well and looked quite good but City are really growing into this now. We are not playing poorly but you can see how City are capable of getting through our defence.

Just to add, I don't think we played too poorly yesterday it was just obvious how rusty we were. That being said, I'm sure Everton were rusty too. Nerves also played a big part and I'm sure we'll improve. I'm not wholly confident with Coady in defence at this level but it is too early to tell...

What? So, something is lost in translation here. Alan said based on yesterdays performance we will need to improve going forwards, I believe. Now, he didn't say how it was going to affect our season just that against 11 men we are probably going to have to be more industrious going forward which...

We were shaky as fuck too, Boly in particular. They also brought a fantastic save out of Rui early on who wasn't quite as shaky. It's early in the season, it's too early to use the performance as a barometer for the rest of the season but we did not look good going forwards yesterday and I do...

We played against ten men for the majority of the match and they were still the better team, in my opinion. If you don't consider the fact we were playing against ten men when drawing your conclusions from that game then you really are in denial. Yes, Everton are an extremely strong team and...

For me, the defence was shocking. Even against ten men we got carved open with ease three times, Everton had the same rustiness as us and I would say this is more the reason they didn't capitalise on their chances. Why Tosun didn't fee Walcott the ball when he was through I'll never know, and...

I hear that! Still, could be quite the signing!

Potentially the best signing we've ever made, goalkeeper-wise? We've definitely had some fans favourites over the years between the sticks but he could be a real touch of class. That being said, he is prone to the odd error but as we've seen with De Gea recently for Spain, no keeper is really...

Happy with that! Don't understand the Grealish hate though. He's a young lad and he's definitely talented. Probably wouldn't fit our system but he has something, that's for sure.

What happened there? As that ball got to Mitrovic everything looked open and then it came to nothing!

Andre Gomes is something of a joke figure here in Spain as he is worse than useless for Barca. Of course, we are not Barcelona but that being said from what I've seen of him he's just not that good. I'd steer clear personally, however, he could be one of those payers who thrives in his next team.
